Synthesia is somewhat outdated, but still available to install, afaics.

On the site, I'd make it possible to open pages for individual apps in new tabs — i.e. make the app titles in the list into proper links, so the user could open the context menu on them or do ctrl/cmd-click.

It seems also that scrolling is overridden in the popup for app details, at least in Firefox Android. This adds nothing, except irritation from nonstandard behavior.

    Scrolling on the app details works on mine (also tested in vanadium, same outcome) but the buttons on the app details have different sizes to match the text so some buttons get cropped and the "side by side" scroll looks bad. I'm sure it was vibe coded and tested poorly.
    I also find it hard to believe Duolingo Music is free. I'm not a musician and don't know any of these apps so I can't attest for that.

    Side question: Do you need emojis and text to tag something?

    It works, yes, but for me the scrolling speed seems to not match my thumb, and there's some inertia added — which are both signs that scrolling is hijacked by JS that does its own scrolling instead.

    I also find it hard to believe Duolingo Music is free.

    The site seems to not have a clear marking for freemium apps. AlternativeTo does that well, they're just marked as 'freemium/proprietary' (or, in rare cases, 'freemium/open-source').
