Submitting an Application

I’ve made an application that I would like to submit to Tidbyt to review and add to their offerings if they like it. How do I go about doing that?

# Publishing Apps
So pumped you're here and want to publish an app! If you haven't done so already, check out our [contributing guide](../CONTRIBUTING.md) and our guide on [app philosophy](app_philosophy.md) to get a better sense of what you're getting yourself into. You'll also want to check out the guide on [authoring apps](https://github.com/tidbyt/pixlet/blob/main/docs/authoring_apps.md) in the pixlet repo to get a better sense of how everything works together.

One final note before we hop in - you may want to check out the [schema docs](https://github.com/tidbyt/pixlet/blob/main/docs/schema/schema.md) if you haven't already. Schema allows you to display options inside of the Tidbyt mobile app so the user can configure your starlark applet.

## Prerequisites
Make sure you have [go1.16](https://go.dev/) or later and `make` installed on your system.


## Quick Start
Fork and clone the [Tidbyt community repo](https://github.com/tidbyt/community) to your local machine, and then run the following from the local folder, to generate everything you need!
```
make app
```

> Note: the codegen tool is a bit picky. This is because these strings show up in the Tidbyt mobile app and we want to ensure the UX works as expected.

Once created, edit `apps/{{appname}}/{{app_name}}.star` with your source code.
