What is this website for?
This site is an unofficial listing of apps from the monday.com marketplace from David at David Simpson Apps.
The original idea
The monday.com marketplace is mainly built using client-side technologies, so is not currently optimised for SEO. Additionally, the mobile version is different and does not render vendor pages at all. This site started as a demonstration to show how a responsively designed, static HTML marketplace site can be rapidly developed and deployed.
The key features behind the site:
- Static HTML with almost no client-side JavaScript
- Stupidly quick load times
- Responsive web design
- SEO optimised
- A high Lighthouse score
- A list of all apps on a single page
- A list of all vendors on a single page
- All data for each app rendered in a single page with no data hidden in a tabbed or accordion-based interface
What's it for now? Marketplace intelligence
The easy part was building a marketplace listing website. The more interesting part that has been built since is the historical analytics data.
We now support historical data for
- Installations – graphs for overall marketplace
- Installations – graphs for each app and vendor
- Installations – top ranking lists for "Trending this week" category, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, Last 90 days, All time installs
- Ratings (average rating and number of ratings) – graphs for each app
- Categories (Featured, Editor's choice, Trending this week) – graphs for each app
Where do you get the data from?
All data on the site is public. It is automatically fetched from various public endpoints. The list of all apps on the monday.com marketplace is retrieved from the public REST API of monday.com. If you are interested in the details, please reach out to us.
How often is the data on the site refreshed?
The site is rebuilt at least daily. A GitHub action collects the number of installs for each app and each vendor daily sometime between 00:00 and 03:00 UTC, then the site is rebuilt with the new installation data and data for any new apps.
Technologies used
