also, does anyone have any thoughts on what a name besides "App Store" would be for this (console app and website)?
While I think the name worked well on the Wii U, with the Switch and more interest going around, it's a bit weird to lay claim to such a generic name like "app store"... Any suggestions?

I think it has the correct name, download, delete and manage the nintendo switch app, to use with hbl, download app, app switch, download app switch, hbl store, app for hbl, english is not my strong sorry hehehe, but Here are some suggestions, greetings!
Maybe something simple like HB Store or Homebrew Store.
Im awful with names so these are pretty bad.
Updated the .nro, new version (0.6) is available through the app! (or here)
If this fixes the download crashing issues for everyone, then I'm going to be ditching the preview interface and work on the new GUI design.

I do. It's a place that stores apps which can be obtained from there. Either for money or - in this case - for free.
(just in case you to go about something like "That's no appstore")

"Apps Shelf"
"NXPM" (NX Package Management)
"1•2•Apps"/"1-2-Apps" (inspired by an awful Switch game)
"HDS" (Homebrew Distribution System)
"HD HD" (Homebrew Distributor in High Definition)
"Sphinx" (Super Perfect Homebrew in NX)
"Phalanx" (Pleasing Homebrews at least at NX)

Great job, I can't test this stuck on 4.1.0, but I can send over some assets (Switch UI animations, sound etc.) if you want a authentic Switch UI for the app.
Thanks for the feedback everyone! I've pushed to Github what I'm now calling the 1.0 release: https://github.com/vgmoose/appstorenx/releases/tag/v1.0
The web version has also been updated to match the app (a long goal of the Wii U verison): https://www.switchbru.com/appstore/
The primary method of input is to use the touch screen + scroll/tap, but I also added some very simple controls if you can only use the gamepad (to support TV-docked mode). The first launch will fetch icons+metadata to cache and take a while, but successive launches should be much faster.
There are still a couple of issues I'd like to iron out (see the release page on Github) but I hope to have the bulk of the coding behind me rather than in front of me. If someone would like to get involved with the coding/designing of this project, their own project, or just wants to leave feedback, please stop by the Switchbru Discord (or #switchbru on Freenode). This GUi was quite a bit of work to design, and I would be more than happy if someone wanted to use the code as a base for their own project!
The OP has also been edited, and you see the readme on Github for info on how to host your own App Store server.
@SylasMc - fixed, now there's a .nro on the download link (and it requires the res folder as well
@jjbredesen - now that the basic UI is done, some animations and sounds would be very appreciated!
As for the renaming... I am still interested in renaming it in a future version!

First off amazing!! Your app on the wii u was the best so knowing that all homebrew will reliably be stored in one place for the switch right from the get go is amazing news!
Sadly I’m not on 3.0 so I can’t test..but for a name change I have a suggestion, instead of calling this an AppStore just call it a downloader so HB Downloader, homebrew downloader or even HB
haha or if you want to go for more of a “Cydia” type name then I suggest looking into code names for switch and it’s chips and figuring something out! NxD for nx downloader or something! I don’t know but those are my suggestions. Hopefully you find something slick that you like

I love the new design!!
Iv'e just tested on my switch, and it seems to be working well. Tried to download Flashback (REminiscene) and it worked just fine!

Woohoo were live.

Would like to also thank @ShadowOne333 and @Masterwin for helping us maintain a current repo . Especially with the ups and downs of retroarch currently.

Thank you so much! But I have to admit that there is a team of testers helping in all this hard work called Team Switchers, THANKS TO ALL OF THEM, Greetings!
