In plain English

This is a ready-made website template for iOS app developers who need a simple landing page without wanting to write any HTML or CSS. It runs on Jekyll, a static site generator, and is designed to be hosted for free on GitHub Pages, the built-in website hosting that comes with every GitHub account. Setup takes about five minutes. You fork the repository (make your own copy on GitHub), drop your iOS App Store ID into a configuration file, upload a screenshot or short video of your app, and the site builds itself automatically. It pulls your app name, icon, price, and App Store link straight from Apple's data using that ID. Almost everything visual can be changed through that same configuration file: background color, text colors, the color of the phone frame shown on the page, your name or company name, social links, and a list of feature descriptions with icons. You never need to touch raw code. If you also sell an Android version, you can add a Google Play Store link in the same file. The template includes placeholder pages for a privacy policy and a changelog, both written in plain Markdown, a simple text format. You edit them like a document, and Jekyll turns them into styled web pages. You can control whether each page appears in the top navigation, and you can add more pages the same way. The project is released under the MIT license, meaning you can use and modify it freely. It was built by developer Emil Baehr and accepts donations via PayPal.
