✨ Extension Store

[jasonplatts]

Overview

The extension store should allow users to browse and install extensions submitted by other developers. They should be categorized using the information provided in each extensions manifest.json (See #174)

Tasks

• Determine storage requirements
• Design extension store UI (✨ Extension Navigator #355)
• Build extension submission process
• Build library, using information in submitted extension manifest files.

Concept

I'd imagine when one is clicked a tab in the main content area opens up to show more details.

We are definitely not going to call it a "Marketplace". That is Microsoft lingo 😁

haha! I couldn't remember what you called it. We should definitely update it.

@nanashili I'd imagine so. We need to choose the right technologies to use for our backend. We will have our own website for downloads help and documentation so maybe Node.js?

@austincondiff, would you be able to post the screens you showed me?

I can put you in contact with someone that builds in back-end

What about .net as the back-end it has way better performance when it comes to scaling

"Extension Library" anyone? (similar to App library)

I like it. Simple and clear.
