How to add a new application to the list

First clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/arminask/windows-arm-apps

To add a new app to the website, edit this file

assets/config.yml

If you need to add a new category for your application

  - name: "Web Browsers" # Category name
    icon: "fa-solid fa-file-zipper" # Category icon from https://fontawesome.com/icons
    items:

To add a new item below the category

      - name: "Firefox Browser" # App name
        logo: "assets/tools/firefox.png" # App icon
        subtitle: "ARM64/ARM64EC/ARM32, unofficial builds. Free and open-source web browser developed by the Mozilla"
        url: "https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release" # URL to download the app
        target: "_blank" # Opens the URL in a new tab

In the subtitle key value, you should define which architecture/code the application was built with.

For example, it could be ARM64/ARM64EC/ARM32.

If the software doesn't have an official build, you can add a value: unofficial builds

You can add more information about the application to the "subtitle" key if you think it's necessary.


Include the application picture

After you have added a new item in assets/config.yml file, you need to add a picture for the app.

Make sure you correctly defined the icon name and it's path in the logo key and value.

App icons must be in PNG format, transparent and 64x64 in width and height.

Serve the website locally

This must be done to verify that the changes you have made to the website are correct and do not have any errors.

There are different ways you can serve an html website.

You can use apache2, nginx, Python Flask or other servers for this, use the option that's best for you.

You can easily serve local content with Python and this script in the project root directory.

import http.server
import socketserver
import os

# Define the port on which you want to serve your site
PORT = 8000

# Define the directory you want to serve
WEB_DIR = "."  # Will serve in the current directory

# Change the current working directory to the web directory
os.chdir(WEB_DIR)

# Handler for the server
Handler = http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler

# Create the server
with socketserver.TCPServer(("", PORT), Handler) as httpd:
    print(f"Serving at port {PORT}")
    httpd.serve_forever()

You can run the script with this command

python webserve.py

Now enter http://localhost:8000 URL in your web browser and verify that everything is working.
