                "text": "#ffffff",
                "bg": "9cda4a"
            },
            "file": "run"
        },
        {

            "color": {
                "text": "fff",
                "bg": "#1aa3e8"
            },
            "file": "ui"

Details

Use the details key to add info like the app name and description with snapshotting features to discribe the latest version and the updates

Operating systems

The supported key is a supported OS (operating system) list, users can filter for different OS types

Buttons

The buttons key is how the user can execute scripts related to your program

Each button has its own settings:

{
    "name": "Run",
    "color": {
        "text": "#ffffff",
        "bg": "#05a000"
    },
    "file": "run"
}

This would be displayed as:

<style> .actions { display: flex; gap: 15px; } .actions button { border: none; color: white; font-size: 18px; padding: 10px; flex-grow: 1; cursor: pointer; border-radius: 5px; font-weight: bold; } </style>

Programming the app

After adding buttons to trigger functions in the app, you need to make the scripts that are triggered, all button scripts are in scripts/[script key].py
