If you're on elementary OS, it should pop open AppCenter for you. I have a tiny amount of work to make it a better experience on non-elementary Linux: github.com/cassidyjames/appage

Alright, I think it's to a point where I am proposing that this replace the current elementary implementation. cassidyjames.github.io/appage/

I've been wanting to make the frontpage on link aggregator sites for a while now, but now that I've done it, I don't feel anything

After using Qt5 at work for a couple of weeks, I have a new fondness for Gnome and Vala. I don't mind C++, I actually love C++, but I'd be lying if I didn't say using Qt in C++ is a big ol' mess in comparison...

But it's useful to at least show what's in the store out on the public web! And to give a landing page for apps that are shared via a link or social media.

I'm excited to get the rest of this work done!

Then again, I'm not trying to completely replace AppCenter with a web page. So I'm not planning on implementing like category browsing and search and whatnot any time soon. The best experience is gonna be to use the AppCenter app to browse and discover.

I'm also considering exposing the app "summary" more prominently, but I'm not sure how. It's a tooltip for now, and of course it's on the app page itself. But it could be useful on the home page?
