I think for end users it is easier to look for their device's name.

For a developer it is easier to specify what capabilities are required
(screen sizes, sensors, touch screen, camera, keyboard, ...).

Maybe you could make a device matrix so that the developer can define
the requirements of the application, and your web page converts this
to the devices that this is supported on (and optionally see the
specific requirements).

For many applications there could be the setting "All / Don't care",
e.g. supported screen sizes for list-based applications, or for
applications that don't use sensors.

A separate category would be "supported languages".
