 > [!TIP]  
-> For an open source project to be approved for submission, the repo MUST have over 1k stars, and preferably over 5k stars - but this is flexible. If the app is extraordinary or does a task nothing else does, it will most likely be accepted. The app should also have relatively recent commits or something that signifies active development.
