Mockup of new icons
When using Linux on less common form factors (tablets, touch screens, Home
Theater setups), usually there is no way to know if an app is going to be
usable until you install and run it. For example, you have no idea if an app
will respond to touch inputs properly, or if a game will work well with a
gamepad.
However, it has come to my attention that the Appstream specification allows
apps to list what <control/>s they support. see here:
https://freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Metadata.html
When viewing an app in Discover, would it be possible to add icons to indicate
what forms of input this app supports?
Screenshot attached as a rough mockup of what I'm thinking.
If this is an acceptable idea, I am willing to take an honest stab at
implementing this myself in a pull request. However, I am a web developer, with
barely any c++ experience. I would likely need guidance.
