Hub's Store - new apps to the marketplace (BTCpay, LNbits, Coracle, Nostter)

[itstomekk]

I've wrote this guide for contributors on how to add new apps: https://github.com/getAlby/hub/wiki/How-to:-submit-new-app-to-Hub's-Store

But I'll lead with example, some big apps are still missing there, there wasn't many updates since Hub was launched.

I'm planning to add there before the next release:

• BTCPay Server
  

• LNbits
  

• Coracle social
  

• Nostter
  

---

It would be nice if next apps could be added by community :)
