Apps Marketplace
A curated marketplace for finished mini apps. Buy once, download, run on your
own computer, with AI assisted setup so it takes minutes rather than
expertise. The platform takes a 15% all-inclusive commission per sale.
Domain: apps-marketplace.com
Status
Fully working front-end demo. Every buyer, seller and admin flow runs on an
in-browser store (lib/store.ts) seeded with sample data, so no backend keys
are needed to click through it. Firebase and Stripe are scaffolded and
documented for going live.
Run it
npm install
npm run dev # http://localhost:3000
Sign in with any email. Use [email protected] for the admin view, or the
"view as" switch in the header to flip between buyer, seller and admin.
The flows
- Customer: landing (hero plus listings) →
/app/[slug] → cart or buy now →
/library with re-download and "update available" flags. Bookmarks included.
- Seller:
/sell → /dashboard (listings, earnings) → /dashboard/new
(package upload, up to 5 screenshots, required demo video) → review queue.
- Admin:
/admin (queue plus GMV and revenue stats) → /admin/[id]
(checklist, approve or reject with a note).
- About:
/about holds why this exists, how it works, FAQs and the contact
form, including the "request a tool" path.
Tech
Next.js 16 (App Router), TypeScript, Tailwind v4, Firebase (Auth, Firestore,
Storage) and Stripe Connect. Design system lives in app/globals.css; the
listing card uses the gradient variant in components/ui/card.tsx.
Project docs
Where the demo store becomes production
lib/store.ts is the single seam. Each function maps 1:1 to a Firestore call,
and recordPurchase moves to the Stripe webhook. See FIREBASE_SETUP.md §4.
Notes
- Brand name and domain live in
lib/brand.ts and change in one place.
public/demos/*.mp4 are generated placeholder clips. Replace them with real
screen recordings.- The header role switcher is demo only and must be removed before launch.
