An App Store-inspired catalog for your projects — powered by a single JSON file.

Live Demo · Quick Start · Make It Yours

---

Appétit is a beautiful, browsable app catalog that looks and feels like the Apple App Store. It's built entirely with vanilla HTML, CSS, and JS — no frameworks, no build step, no dependencies. Just edit `apps.json` and deploy.

Features

• App Store UI — Sidebar navigation, featured carousel, app cards, detail pages with screenshots
• Dark & Light themes — System preference detection with manual toggle, persisted in localStorage
• JSON-driven — All apps, categories, and featured items defined in a single apps.json
• Install modals — brew install and npx commands with one-click copy to clipboard
• Categories — macOS, Web, CLI, Developer Tools, Productivity (or define your own)
• Search — Instant client-side filtering across names, descriptions, and features
• GitHub stats — Live star and fork counts, updatable with the included update-stats.sh script
• Responsive — Desktop sidebar collapses on mobile
• Zero dependencies — Pure HTML/CSS/JS, deploys anywhere as static files

Make It Yours

1. Add your apps

Edit `apps.json`. Each app entry supports:

{
  "id": "my-app",
  "name": "My App",
  "subtitle": "A short tagline",
  "description": "One-liner for list views.",
  "longDescription": "Full description for the detail page.",
  "icon": "https://example.com/icon.png",   // or use iconEmoji: "🚀"
  "iconStyle"
