This plugin adds a <code>/my-apps/</code> route to your WordPress so that it can act as your personal apps launcher.
You can use your own WordPress as the place where you host apps in form of plugins. It can be hard to launch them since you have to navigate wp-admin. This adds a dashboard like an mobile phone launcher to your WordPress.
Plugin “Apps” can register their own icons but you can add your own links.
<h3>Code Example</h3>
<pre><code>`php
</code></pre>
add_filter( ‘my_apps_plugins’, function ( $apps ) { 
 // Add your app to the array. These three keys are mandatory: 
 $apps[‘friends’] = array( 
 // Name: The name that will be displayed. 
 ‘name’ => __( ‘Friends’, ‘friends’ ), 
 // The icon as a URL. You can also use a local URL inside a plugin, using <code>plugins_url()</code>. 
 ‘icon_url’ => ‘https://ps.w.org/friends/assets/icon-256×256.png’, 
 // The URL this should link to. 
 ‘url’ => home_url( ‘/friends/’ ), 
 ); 
 return $apps; 
} );

<a href="https://edshelf.com" rel="nofollow ugc">edshelf</a> helps you find the most effective educational tools for your specific needs. You can also create shelves of tools you like, or browse shelves created by others.
This plugin provides a shortcode so you can easily embed an edshelf widget onto your site.
The shortcode is: <code>[edshelf-shelf-widget id="NNNN" height="YYY" format="FFFF"]</code>
The template tag is: <code>edshelf_shelf_widget( NNNN, YYYY, 'FFFF' );</code>
Where <code>NNNN</code> is the ID of the shelf you want to embed, <code>YYY</code> is the height of the widget in pixels, and <code>FFFF</code> is the format of widget. You can get this ID from the shelf on edshelf, in the Widget module at the bottom of the right column. The choices for the format of widget are “grid” (the default setting), “list”, or “compact”.
