If you've created an application, script, or library for use on the Stack Exchange network, that's fantastic! Now **publicize it by creating a question** with the correct tag: > [tag:app] http://stackapps.com/questions/ask?tags=app > [tag:library] http://stackapps.com/questions/ask?tags=library > [tag:script] http://stackapps.com/questions/ask?tags=script Generally, you should **only publicize your app if it can actually be used**, but to develop a write-access app, you will need to [set up a placeholder post first.][1] These questions provide a default template for you to work with. Please follow this rough template; it's presented below for reference. <pre> <!-- thumbnail: http://example.com/some-image.png --> <!-- version: 1.0 --> <!-- tag: a-tag-on-the-post --> <!-- excerpt: Up to 200 characters of excerpt --> ###About: (required) Tell us about your app/library/wrapper/script. Why did you create it? Who is it for? How does it work? What problem does it solve? ###Screenshot / Code Snippet: (highly recommended) Insert a reasonably sized screenshot (or code snippet) of your app/wrapper/library/script here, so we can get a quick look at it and an idea of how it works and what it might do for us. ###Download / Install: (required) Provide links for us to obtain your app/library/wrapper/script. For websites or service, provide link to the main or home page. A user should be able to jump to this section and dive right into your app. ###Platform: (recommended) What platform or browser is your app/library/wrapper/script for? Android? PC? Mac? Apple Newton? Firefox? Opera? Lynx? ###Contact: (optional) Who created this app? Who are the key contributors? How do we get in touch with them or find them? ###License: (optional) What license is your app/library/wrapper/script released under, if any? Or if it is paid, how much does it cost and how do we buy it? ###Code: (recommended) What language, frameworks, and tools were used to write this? Where can we get the code? How can we contribute to the code? </pre> ###Metadata Thumbnails should be <b>144 pixels wide, and 119 pixels tall</b> and a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Network_Graphics">PNG file</a> (with extension). If no thumbnail is provided, one will be generated from the first image in the question if possible; a default will be used if nothing is provided. The designated tag will be the "+1 tag" that is shown **in addition to** the [tag:app],[tag:library], or [tag:script] tags. If it is not specified explicitly, the most popular tag on the post will be used instead. If a tag is explicitly designated, it must exist on the post to take effect. The version number will **not** be displayed if omitted. The excerpt **cannot** contain any HTML or markup. If it is omitted, the first ~200 characters of the About section will be included. If there is no About section, the first ~200 characters of the post itself will be used. You can see our example of this template in action at [The World’s Worst Stack Overflow Clone][2] ---- **Note by George Edison:** I have written [a script](http://stackapps.com/questions/3118/stack-apps-listing-wizard-making-it-easier-to-list-your-application-right-here) that will automatically generate markdown in the format above for your application by guiding you through a wizard. You can install the script by clicking [here](http://files.quickmediasolutions.com/userscripts/stackapps_listing.user.js). Then simply click the new icon that appears on the editing toolbar when you ask a new question.
