App Store

Flexible general purpose app-store framework with customizable app feeds. Bring powerful, simple, minimalist Electron/Node based apps to the user.

App Store Installation

Downloads folder contains downloads for Linux, Mac, and Windows.

Windows users please download app-store-windows-64.zip unless you have an older [32bit] setup where app-store-windows-32.zip will work.

Mac users please download app-store-mac-x64.zip

Linux build is available under app-store-linux-x64.zip

Roadmap

1. Super Easy Download/Install inspired by the Portable Application concept. Simple app-store.exe installer (or just simple executable) for Windows, Mac, and Linux Operating Systems.
2. App Store will support multiple software catalogs called feeds. Users will be able to add/remove software catalog feeds to customize their homepage.

Development Launch/Usage (Node.js users)

Install Node.js and execute the following in your in terminal/command shell.

  npm i -g epx; # install epx on your system
  epx app-store # launch app-store with epx

Making Apps

Clone https://github.com/fantasyui-com/bootstrap-electron to get started.

Publishing Apps

An open catalog of npm package names and public git repositories will be generated based on a public search for unique tags/keywords, it will be published to github for review/testing. App-store will periodically pull the list to keep up to date.

Ideas

• Desktop Mode, show applications as icons on a desktop-like screen.
