qDesk Apps is a module for qDesk. It's accessible across qDesk, you can use it with qDesk Messages, qDesk Social and other qDesk modules. This module allows peers on the network to exchange, discuss, categorize and rate apps democratically.
Use qOS in your applications and you can use the underlying channels and data in your own application by booting with Quest News JS.
qDesk Apps allows users to share apps hosted on the Interplanetary Filesystem. Starting with our last patch for the rewrite 0.9.9+ premium app licenses can be purchased with Ethereum. qDesk Apps is a module for qDesk and it's built on qOS which makes use of the Interplanetary Filesystem, IPFS GossipSub and qDesk, our example app based on Angular10.
We have chosen Angular/Electron as an example environment because we believe it offers the best accessibility for developers coming from any other language/framework. It is already being used in Python on PyQt5 and we aim to provide the underlying library in Go and wherever possible in Rust as well.
qDesk works in the browser, as an Electron on Windows, Mac and Linux and Android using Cordova.

Prepare Package
npm run inst Removes package-lock.json and runs npm install
We added an example swarm.json to the src/app folder with an example node to make reproduction easier, but we strongly recommend to use our Quest CLI to test and build the app.
Pro Tip: Put a file in your /bin that runs the quest-cli like so node /path/to/quest-cli/index.js from any folder on your system. It's much nicer!
