Greetings, everyone! My name is Andres, and I am the developer of LemmyApps.com. Today, I would like to share what I have been working on for the past several months.
What is LemmyApps.com?
LemmyApps.com helps users discover Lemmy apps that best suit their needs. Whether that means apps that are open source, free, etc.
This is the first public release, so expect bugs!
What does this site offer?
- Use the API to get apps, releases and platform information.
- Sort apps by last commit, last release, downloads and many more attributes.
- Filter apps by platform, open source, free, and in-app purchases.
- Users can submit apps and update their listings with new releases easily.
- Users can claim apps and update their author profiles.
- Supports every platform and sub-platform – including lesser known stores.
- Every 6 hours, information is aggregated from GitHub, GitLab, Play Store and the App Store.
Roadmap
- [ ] More modern and responsive design
- [ ] Add filtering for specific Features
- [ ] Add product images via carousel
- [x] Support additional platforms like Codeberg
FOSS Commitment
LemmyApps.com will be FOSS soon. I am looking for a .NET developer interested in helping review the code for any security issues. Please email me at support at lemmyapps dot com.
Feedback
Please share your feedback in the comments below!
P.S. If you think the design is ugly, feel free to use the API to make a prettier website! I invite friendly competition. After all, my goal is to help spread the adoption of Lemmy apps.
You should make it so you can compare features like moderation support and other stuff
Edit: also add a claimed app option for apps claimed on your site
Edit2: also add what Lemmy/compatibles (currently only sublinks) versions are supported, with the default being only the latest selected
I will brainstorm features and add a new column for filtering. I am thinking of 10 core features or so to start, with room for more.
By claimed app option, do you mean a filter that shows apps that were claimed? Or a separate page?
That is an interesting idea. If I understand correctly, an app might support multiple services such as Lemmy, Kbin, Mastodon, etc. Ideally, the listing should indicate this, along with the version? (In the case of Lemmy, 0.19 being the latest)
Thank you for the feedback! I think these are solid improvements.
Claimed app as a filter, yes.
I meant this more about direct compatibles to Lemmy like sublinks, but doing it for apps with kbin and other fedi is a good idea.
