How to add new software:
In the apps folder there are a bunch of json files for software. Here is an example:
names
what the software is called.comment
about the software.links
to learn more about the software e.g.git
(where the source code can be found if it it's available),website
(software's website if it exists) andwikipedia
if there is some wiki. At least one of these needs to be there.icon
a link to the icon of the software. For now no images will be stored in the repository so it takes up less space.platforms
where the software can be accessed from e.g. Linux, Windows, Android, iOS, Mac. For websites just writeWeb
.interface
used to access the software, e.g. GTK, HTML5, JavaScript, Touchlanguages
the main programming languages 40% or above that the software is made out of.networks_read
if the software uses something like a network. This means the software is able to view content on that network.networks_write
if the software uses something like a network. This means the software is able to do stuff like publish or write comments on the network.formats_write
if the software can write files to your system what formats does it support.generic_name
names that can be used to describe what the software is.issues
if the software has privacy related issues.

Create a port.json
When modifying the code, in order to test changes you need to rerun and put in the port number over and over. To solve this you can create a file called port.json
:
{
"port": "8080"
}
Now it will stop asking for port numbers and use the port you put in the json file.
TO DO
- Add interfaces and language parameters in json
- Documentation parameter in json
- Make creating json files easier. Somehow......
