Hi all,
the other day Augustin mentioned in IRC that HaikuDepot should only show
GUI apps by default (based on one of the package's "provides" entries
starting with "app:"), which was immediately met with resistance from
Adrien, who feared that additional steps would be needed to really get
all packages in search results.
A solution for the use-case that Augustin probably had in mind, which is
often used by other software centers, is to show a list of
recommendations as the initial screen. I am thinking in the first
incarnation, the web app could simply allow administrators to flag
packages as "recommended". This way, there is another source for this
information other than a high rating. Later, there could be more flags
like "new" (although that could be derived from the publishing date).
What do you think? Andrew, would this be easy to add?
Best regards,
-Stephan
