Description

Hi there,

when navigating to https://api.altstore.io/source/dl.bixilon.de/altstore/classic.json?app=de.bixilon.UniThen, there is the background image, delivered as PNG file with about 2.3M (https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/642450547c773b7a7415eef9/64512f7f04f88597a9b77a08_Rectangle%20732.png). That is really wasteful. Can you please replace it with a css background gradient?

And another question: How do I create altstore classic links?

Thanks
