Services

To make some of the features of NomNom possible it is necessary to use third-party services. A subset of these features require internet access to work properly and others may contribute to the source code but are not used in the executed program.

All these services are explained here in detail.

GitHub

GitHub is the home of NomNom. Here you will find this wiki, the source code (in the future), you can create new issues and discussion, and it is used to host the compiled program.

For that reason NomNom will access GitHub.com whenever something mentioned below is needed:

• Showing the changelog.
• Showing the roadmap.
• Checking for new versions
  • To achieve this a file will be downloaded, which contains all necessary information about the latest version.
  • If a new version is available, an archive with the latest program files will be downloaded if you decide to update.

No personal data are send, only the mentioned files will be downloaded.

Assistant for No Man's Sky API

This amazing collection of APIs was originally created to be used in the Assistant for No Man's Sky app and is created by the author of said app.

Two of those APIs are used in NomNom:

• Getting the live progress of the community research.
  • No personal data are send, only gets the request data.
• Transferring your inventories to the Assistant for No Man's Sky app.
  • The content of your selected inventories will be uploaded. This includes:
    • items
    • quantities
    • types of the inventories
  • In return a code will be received that can be used in the Assistant for No Man's Sky app to download the uploaded inventories.

The APICustomizedon can be found at https://api.nmsassistant.com.

Customizer

The Customizer by Mjstral aka Meta-Idea is embedded in NomNom where suitable. You have to explicitly open it and then you can do all the things that are possible on the web version.

The type and seed will automatically be set as well as the preview triggered when opened within NomNom.

Unleash

Unleash is an open-source feature flagging service. With this it is possible to lock and unlock certain features without the need to update the program.

This will send your current date and time in UTC and the "Donation E-Mail" field from settings in some, but not all cases. Beside that it is only requesting the information whether a flag is enabled.

This is a self-hosted service.
