## What it is
A curated, self-refreshing directory of real production-grade open-source applications across mobile, desktop, and web stacks, with structured YAML records for each app. It is published as a searchable Astro-based website (openappscout.com) and maintained via weekly GitHub metadata syncs and community submissions.

## Use cases
- find real open-source apps to learn from
- discover production flutter apps to study
- find open source projects worth contributing to
- browse curated react native app codebases
- find self-hosted app alternatives by category
- compare open-source apps by stack and platform
- find actively maintained open-source mobile apps
- locate real app codebases instead of tutorials

## When to choose
- you want to learn architecture patterns from real, production-grade app codebases rather than tutorials or boilerplates
- you need a structured, filterable index (stack, platform, license, activity) of open-source applications
- you are looking for projects to contribute to and want activity and maturity signals first
- you want open, PR-contributable YAML data you can reuse or feed to AI tooling

## When to avoid
- you need a package library or SDK to install rather than a directory of links to other repositories
- you need exhaustive coverage of every open-source app — the list is deliberately hand-curated and selective
- you need guaranteed license compliance — the repo itself has no standard license assertion and linked apps vary
- you need deep technical documentation about each app rather than metadata and short descriptions

## Facets
