Background
Originally this came out of a curiosity I had about the IAB app-ads.txt standard in 2022. In order to scrape app-ads.txt files I had to first get 4,000,000+ iOS and Android apps + their respective publisher URLs. While that project, like app-ads.txt itself, went unused, I remained interested in letting the database of apps keep growing. Then in the fall of 2023 while on haitus from real work, I started working on an API and UI.
Now, App Goblin is the combination of several open source projects I built. Yes, there are a large number of similar companies like data.ai and sensortower.com which have many more features. But it was a great project for me to learn more frontend and javascript.
If you have questions or suggestions please feel free to reach out.
