documentation for portable apps launcher code

I want to modify the code for the launcher and contribute my mod back to the community. I can't find any documentation for the code. Am I looking in the wrong place? I looked at github and I looked in the development section of the portable apps website. Yes I can read the code but that would take a while.

I want to add code to create shortcuts to portable apps in the start menu in windows. I already created a batch file to do this by parsing the PortableAppsMenu.ini but the results are incomplete and are not listed in groups. It would be easier to do this from inside the launcher. When the app scans the folders at start up and adds items to the menu I would also add shortcuts and folders to the start menu in windows. The reason is that I want to be able to search for portable apps when I search for installed apps. Doing two searches one in windows, one in the portable apps launcher is annoying.
