Apps Overview

The Apps Marketplace is Honeycomb’s extension system. Each app is a self-contained mini-application that a business owner can install or uninstall from the marketplace at /business/apps. Apps have their own database schemas, routes, services, and UI components, and are designed so they could be extracted into separate packages in the future.

Extension system architecture

The marketplace page loads two datasets in parallel from Supabase:

• apps — the global registry of all available apps (is_active = true), sourced from the apps table.
• user_apps — the join table that tracks which apps a given user has installed, sourced from the user_apps table.

Installing an app sends a POST to /api/apps with { action: "install", slug }. Uninstalling sends the same endpoint with { action: "uninstall", slug }. On successful install, the user is redirected to the app’s dashboard at /business/apps/<slug>.

App categories

Apps are organized into four categories in the marketplace UI:

Category	Apps
Links & Marketing	Shortlinks, Biolinks, QR Codes, Pixels, Analytics, Domains
Documents & Finance	Invoicing, E-Signatures, Documents, File Requests
Productivity	Reminders, Time Tracking, Workflows, AI Docs
Business Tools	All other apps (courses, blog, store, etc.)

File structure convention

Each app follows this structure:

src/lib/apps/<app-name>/
├── index.ts              # Public barrel
├── manifest.ts           # Slug, name, version, actions, permissions
├── DATABASE.md           # App's database schema documentation
├── modules/              # Internal UI modules
├── services/             # Server-side business logic
├── types/                # TypeScript types
└── utils/                # Pure helper functions

src/routes/(app)/business/apps/<app-name>/
├── +page.svelte          # App dashboard
├── +page.server.ts       # Server loader
└── <sub-routes>/         # Feature-specific pages

Tip

Each app’s +page.server.ts loader calls service functions from $lib/apps/<app>/services/index.js, keeping data-fetching logic out of route files.
