App Store Application Server

Launch your own subscription web app store and user platform for front-end and full-stack developers to create, share and earn. This application server is one half of the software, it is accompanied by a Dashboard server. This readme assumes you have configured the Dashboard server already.

About

The app store software provides a website where users may code and share single-page applications or import hosted web applications by their server URL. Users who complete a Stripe Connect registration may publish their apps with paid subscriptions.
