Hey Max, you should check out garden20.com its a whole ecosystem around sharing apps via replication, and to have a bit of a unified interface for managing installed apps, and navigating between apps. Its all opensource, and on github via https://github.com/garden20
The sign up process is a bit broken at the moment. It used to setup brand new couch on iriscouch and configure it with a garden for a user, but you can do the same by following these directions: http://kan.so/docs/Setting_Up_A_Garden We have used it at medic mobile to distribute apps to underserved health care regions via a branded marketplace. It also works well with https://github.com/garden20/gardener to run node modules bundled with a couchapp (if you want to powerup your couchapp). I really want to make the initial garden setup into a new couch plugin that Jan has setup. I think it would be a good candidate for that. My time has been a bit limited lately, but any help I for sure can give pointers.
