How this item is evaluated

RepoRadar assigned Christian-Katzmann/app-it a composite score of 7.7 out of 10, placing it in the Silver tier. This score combines weighted sub-signals: usefulness (35%), novelty (18%), momentum (14%), maturity (10%), open-source/build quality (7%), evidence quality (6%), workflow potential (6%), and setup ease (4%). Popularity is tracked separately at 1.0 and never affects the composite score or tier. The risk label of 'none' reflects inherent user-impacting hazards, not generic novelty. Items with no risk flag may still require normal code review before production use.

Risk explanation

It builds an ad-hoc-signed .app, not a notarized distribution, so recipients must trust the bundle and sign in with their own account on any hosted-web-app path; Windows support is in beta and the author runs only macOS, so if you are on a Windows-first team, plan for extra review before relying on the Windows contract.
