+A search tool for free software replacements. 
+
+# How to add new software:
+
+In the [apps](apps) folder there are a bunch of json files for software. Here is an example:
+
+- `names` what the software is called.
+- `comment` description of the software.
+- `links` Various 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) and `wikipedia` 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 write `Web`.
+- `networks_read` if the software uses something like a [network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_networking_service). This means the software is able to view content on that network.
+- `networks_write` if the software uses something like a [network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_networking_service). 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.
