Create a website (app store) that utilizes GitHub (also GitLab?) API to search for repos that have a `webxdc` or `webxdc-app` tag (topic): [webxdc · GitHub Topics · GitHub](https://github.com/topics/webxdc). (I’m in favor of the latter, because `webxdc` may also include tools related to webxdc). Why not just [link to GitHub directly](https://github.com/webxdc/website/commit/fd1a86a274cd7769c5e801acd3b6328a3f6c85d5)? Because the UI is not that convenient, there’s no direct download link, and a lot of other clutter (for people who just want to download the app). How do you post an app to an app store? Just create a repo, add description, and a release with the `.xdc` file attached. Also works with closed-source apps. ---

There is a bot juegos@buzon.uy, you can send /list command to it to get a number of .xdc ---

Here’s how to search for repos with GutHub API: - [Search - GitHub Docs](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/search?apiVersion=2022-11-28#search-repositories) - [Searching for repositories - GitHub Docs](https://docs.github.com/en/search-github/searching-on-github/searching-for-repositories) I think given the amount of possible filters (by author, by number of stars, update date) it makes sense to search for an existing “Advanced GitHub search” website (or at least a query-composing library). Yes, [the native GitHub website advanced search](https://github.com/search/advanced) looks bad for this task. Also perhaps as long as there are not too many webxdc apps, filtering/sorting can be done client-side. ---

IMO one important thing about the app store(s) is that it should be easy for people to feel it before they have to install anything. A web-based app store is a solution to this. E.g. F-Droid also has a web version. ---

We now have [xstore](https://delta.chat/en/2023-08-11-xstore). I wonder if we can still turn it into a website (funniest thing I’ve ever seen). ---

> [@WofWca](#): > > I wonder if we can still turn it into a website There we go [https://webxdc.org/apps/](https://webxdc.org/apps/) But it’s not a GitHub wrapper, it uses the same hand-crafted list as [xstore](https://delta.chat/en/2023-08-11-xstore). ---

I found out about IzzyOnDroid and it reminded me of this issue. They also look for apps on GitHub, although they still add them to the repo manually. > **[Information on IzzyOnDroid's F-Droid compatible repo](https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/info#how_enter)** > > how to use this site and its repo, how to get your app listed here, and more. ---
