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.

Love the idea!

It'd be cool if there was a way to compare features, too. Otherwise all this is really going to do is direct people to the one with the most stars. Screenshots of the UI would be cool too.

Excellent point! I had similar thoughts, and have been pondering how to better represent smaller apps. My hope is for all apps to have equal footing with one another, regardless of community size.

What are your thoughts on a quiz/survey page to find an app? Perhaps we can have a section at the top of the page with a button that says "Take the App Quiz". It would be a couple of sections with big buttons that help narrow down what you are most interested in when using an app.

Sample features could be: accessibility, mod log, sync, multiple-account manager, localization etc.
