## Design decisions
16
+
17
+
- **End-User Apps only.** Dev Tools deserve a separate map with different axes.
18
+
- **No App Store.** No rankings, reviews, stars, or download counts. Every app occupies equal space.
19
+
- **Opt-in listing.** Developers choose to be on the map.
20
+
- **UI layer, not data layer.** This map consumes data that a community app lexicon produces. It complements directories like [atproto.garden](https://atproto.garden) and [BlueskyDirectory](https://blueskydirectory.com), not competes with them.
