[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEEDSINFO |REPORTED Resolution|WAITINGFORINFO |--- --- Comment #2 from [email protected] --- (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > Discover has categories on the left side which provide more stuff, same as > Flathub and the Snap store. Is there a reason why that's not good enough? The home page has a different purpose than the sidebar. On most home pages, like Flathub, Snapcraft, App Store and Google Play, apps are usually laid out in a way to encourage exploration. It's the first thing the user sees, and they can immediately find apps they wouldn't otherwise find, without needing to interact or click on anything. There's an expectation that what shows up in the home page is a curated list of recommended apps, which in the case of Discover, even without privacy-invading algorithms, is done by showing the highest rated or most downloaded options. On the other hand, the sidebar has a different use case: it's usually used with intent, when the user is actively searching for something in a specific category, without relying on recommendations. To me, the best approach would be to show the highest rated apps of more categories, but, at the very least, if devs don't want categories in the home page, it would make more sense to remove the dev tools and games. It's odd to have those two random categories show up and nothing else. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
