iOS apps have a minimum iOS version and old devices can not update past specific iOS versions. This makes finding apps cumbersome. vintage currates apps using data from https://apps.apple.com and provides a simple UI for browsing the apps.

If you'd like to modify criteria that considers an app valid, you can modify index.js and run the data collector:
npm run getData
When the script is finished, results are saved to tmp-data.json. If this data looks good, you can move the data to data.json as the new source of truth.
