  • Make an individual pull request for each suggestion.
  • Edit applications.json instead of README.md.
  • Use the following format:
    {
            "short_description": "Description of repository",
            "categories": [
                "Application category 1",
                "Application category 2"
            ],

  • Keep descriptions short and simple, but descriptive.
  • End all descriptions with a full stop/period.
  • Check your spelling and grammar.
  • Make sure your text editor is set to remove trailing whitespace.
