I was wondering why the development version of the app loader does not have a updated or new tab.
I would use this all the time to quickly see it there are new apps or updates without disconecting and reconnecting the watch.

Hi! Unfortunately the 'updated' tab is created from information that's calculated from the Git commits with a script - it's not something that can be worked out directly from what's in the Github pages hosted project :( If it were easy I'd have put it in...

I guess it might be possible to use the Github APIs to query github for the last few commits to apps.json though? If someone wants to give that a try I'd be happy to merge in any changes :)

GitHubs APIs are a challenge for itself... at least in my experience.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
