Adding your app
You can add your app to the website by creating a new file in _apps/ with this template:
---
# A human-friendly name of your listing
title: Title of Your app
# A short description of what your app does
description: What your app does
# The slug of your hosted app on GitHub (https://github.com/apps/YOUR-SLUG)
slug: Shortened version of app name
# Include a few screenshots that show your app in action
screenshots:
- https://somewebsite.com/your-screenshot.png
# The GitHub usernames of anyone who authored the app
authors: [ your-username, other-usernames ]
# The repository where the code is located
repository: your-username/your-app
---
Any documentation can go here. Many apps just use their README.md here.
Hosting your app
We will list un-hosted apps on the website to help gain more exposure. We will consider hosting apps on a case by case basis.
When considering hosting new plugins here's what we look for, the app:
- Works (ie it can run without errors and perform some sort of action on GitHub through the API)
- Does something not already done by an existing probot app
- Has minimal tests
- Has minimal documentation
- Is open source
- Has a license
- Has a code of conduct
- Has someone willing to at least minimally maintain them for the near future
