Appex

A landing page built to launch and distribute my own desktop apps — starting with ByteContron, a business management system I developed. Includes a password-gated download flow that validates against a live backend API.

🛠️ Tech Stack

APPEX

Frontend

• HTML5, CSS3 (custom properties, backdrop-filter, grid/flexbox)
• Vanilla JavaScript (Fetch API, async/await)
• Font Awesome icons

Backend

• Node.js API hosted on Render, handling password verification and returning the download link

⚙️ Running Locally

```bash git clone https://github.com/Fredson-Sy/Appex.git cd Appex python -m http.server 8080 ```

Then open http://localhost:8080 in your browser.

Note: the download modal requires the backend API to be running/reachable.

🧠 What I Learned

• Connecting a static frontend to a live backend API using fetch and handling async states (loading, success, error)
• Building accessible modal interactions (focus management, click-outside-to-close, keyboard support)
• Designing a password-gated distribution flow for a beta product
