Official software repo for AstroBox

## Overview
AstroBox has recently implemented new guidelines for content creators within its official software repository. Starting July 26, 2025, the platform requires that the number of free resources uploaded by any author must exceed the number of paid resources by at least two times. This change aims to enhance the availability of free content while maintaining a clear distinction between free and paid offerings. For content creators, this means a shift in how they approach resource submissions, ensuring compliance with these new requirements.

Additionally, AstroBox has established a mechanism for reporting resources that do not meet submission standards, fostering a community-driven approach to quality control. They provide a structured process for addressing concerns and maintaining an up-to-date list of unavailable resources along with their reasons for removal. The platform also encourages creators to use specific "Get it on AstroBox" badges on their resource pages to facilitate easy access for users to download content directly from the application.

## Features
