+- **stable** - Production-ready, tested and stable
+- **beta** - Functional but may have minor issues
+- **alpha** - Early development, experimental
+- **dev** - Under active development
+
+## Adding New Applications
+
+To add a new application to the app store:
+
+1. Create the package in `package/secubox/secubox-app-<name>/`
+2. Add metadata entry in `apps.json`
+3. Ensure proper tagging and categorization
+4. Add dependencies and conflicts if any
+5. Link to LuCI app if available
+
+## Metadata Fields
+
+Each app entry includes:
+
+- **id**: Unique package identifier
+- **name**: Display name
+- **version**: Current version
+- **category**: Primary category
+- **description**: Brief description
+- **icon**: Emoji or icon identifier
+- **author**: Package maintainer
+- **license**: Software license
+- **url**: Upstream project URL
+- **tags**: Searchable tags
+- **requires**: System requirements
+- **status**: Development status
+- **luci_app**: Associated LuCI interface (if any)
+- **dependencies**: Required packages
+- **conflicts**: Conflicting packages
+
+## Integration
+
+The app store metadata is used by:
+
+- **luci-app-secubox** - Main SecuBox interface
+- **Build system** - Package management and dependency resolution
+- **Documentation** - Automated documentation generation
+- **CI/CD** - Automated testing and deployment
+
