 - Use the project's official name, not the repository name. Repository names often use lowercase and place dashes in place of spaces. Fallback to **Title Casing** if capitalization is not clear. 
 - For projects with multiple repositories (EX: one for IOS, Windows, etc) link the repository with the most stars.
 - Do not put in a description unless the repo description is inadequate or non-existent, in which case fall back to the organization, their website, or the repo's README. **Do not write your own description, only use text from official sources of the project, and do not modify (EX: shorten) their description.** If you use a custom description make sure to put in the `custom-description` flag so that the stat updator script doesn't overide it.

 Here's a look at how the "backend" of the list works. 
 
 ## README Generation
-All applications are stored inside [`applications.json`](source/data/dynamic/applications.json). Categories are declared inside [`categories.json`](source/data/static/categories.json). Instead of a nested format with subcategories as on object of it's parent, we've given subcategories a `parent` attribute. There's also a [`tags.json`](source/data/static/tags.json). Instead of putting the emoji inside of the ```tags``` attribute in `applications.json`, the id is used, for example, `commercial` or `disruptive`.. These id's are mapped to their corresponding emoji for when the READMEs are generated and makes``applications.json``` more readable.

Then, depending on the platform being generating, it inserts [`header.md`](source/components/header.md), [`macosheader.md`](source/components/macosheader.md), etc.

The default TOC shows parent categories alphabetically with subcategories underneath, also alphabetically.

 ## Maintenence
-[`applications.json`](source/data/dynamic/applications.json) stores a lot of information that the README does not display such as last commit, language, and license. These are for a future web version of the list that would pull data from the json file. [`stats_updator.py`](source/maintenance/stats_updator.py) runs every midnight and updates all application stats. Each application object in the json file also has a `flags` attribute. For example, the `custom-description` flag tells the stats_updator script to skip updating the description for that app. For more into on flags, consult the [`DOCS.md`](resources/DOCS.md)
