apps.json

A lightweight, decentralized standard for publishing the apps you make. Drop a file at yourdomain.com/apps.json and let anyone discover, follow, and fork what you ship.


Why this exists

Vibe-coded micro-apps are the new long tail. There's no good way to follow a builder's output as a set — Twitter posts disappear, app stores gatekeep, central directories centralize. apps.json is RSS for apps: one file at a well-known URL, anyone can read, no registry required.

The minimum viable feed

{
  "version": "1.0",
  "apps": [
    { "name": "My Cool App", "url": "https://example.com/cool" }
  ]
}

Required fields are deliberately tiny. Everything else (id, description, version, targets, author, provenance, forkability) is optional.

Status

Spec is v1.0 (draft). The reader, CLI, and seeded directory are landing this week. In the meantime:
