To contribute to open-source-ios-apps, please edit contents.json instead of the README.

If this seems kind of aggravating, you can always open an issue.

Thanks 😄

TLDR

A new entry should update contents.json with this format:

Please no emojis in descriptions.

{
	"title": "Name of the app",
	"category-ids": ["category-id"],
	"tags": ["swift"],
	"description": "What this app does",
	"source": "Link to source, usually GitHub",
	"screenshots": ["http://something.com/image.png"],
	"license": "mit",
	"date_added": "Aug 6 2016",
	"suggested_by": "@github_username"
}

Feel free to cut and paste ✂️
