Help you keep track of your custom elements.
- Manage(Install/Upgrade/Remove)
- Shortcuts to repositories/issue tracker

Why?

About half a year after the first version of custom_updater, I started to hate it, really hate it and I didn’t see any way of getting it to a state where I would have been happy with it, most of my issues with that you can find here https://github.com/custom-components/custom_updater/issues/117.

With the amount of users it had/have(/has?) I figured it would be better to start over with the same “mission”, that’s where HACS came to life.

HACS is not a full replacement for custom_updater and even though their “mission” is the same how they work is completely different, where the main issue is to make it easy for both the user and the developer, for most elements it will just work (with some exceptions of course).
