I wonder how many people just upvoted this based on the keywords in the title.

Because... the github repo is empty. There's a readme and a license file, it was created 9 hours ago, has a bunch of typos, and contains as many references as possible to "AppSeed".

To confuse matters more, the "cutting edge html parser" link (what???) links back to this seemingly empty repo.

Sorry for the typos. I will update the readme. I was working on the tool for more than 1 year. A short demo here:

Using a GitHub repo as a marketing platform for a paid service asking $159/month. Great work. Not.

Great work! A readme with a link to a landing page linking back to the readme.

All of the app-generator repos are the same, as far as I can tell: https://github.com/app-generator

What gives?

This DEMO shows more:

I'm working on this for more than 1 year

What's the purpose of this submission though?

I mean the work behind, is more than a slim readme. Still testing & improving the tool. When I have something usable, I will commit the sources.

Some empty repos are created to force Google indexing. AppSeed provides some basic tools, full-stack boilerplates, and pre-built apps. 99% are open-source released under the MIT license. Apps are generated, using the HTML parser as first processor int the whole flow:

Flat HTML -> HTML Parser -> extract layouts & components and inject them in apps: - flask - php - ...

Free apps: - https://appseed.us/admin-dashboards - https://appseed.us/apps/bulma-css

Another tool, related to the parser is the CSS conversion tool from Bootstrap to Bulma & Tailwind.

Stay tuned!
