Agenda
- UX
- go through backend
- performance
- flatpak backend parallelism
- update schedule per backend
UX
Improved startup performance. Appstream threading is blocked on changes to appstream. Nate made improvements to the applicationpage.
Update Schedule per backend
Featured apps list
Aleix to implement it and shut up. Featured apps can be used to offer apps that aren't in the default application.
Better homepage
Difficult to come up with a design. Marco wants a carousel but Aleix isn't sure about it.
Efficency
Sorting and filtering always needs to load everything. Aleix thinks we can load N items with some restructuring. Maybe turn discover into an always running service (kded or something)
Generic Name over Fancy Name
Would need discussion with VDG and is a broader issue anyway.
Curated Lists
Difficult. A system where users can create curated lists maybe. Or up/downvote apps for certain use cases. e.g. on plasma mobile you should discover plasma mobile apps not vim or libreoffice.
Example of such a list for mobile apps that already exists: https://linuxphoneapps.org/apps/
Action Item: Improve the mobile experience. Curated lists or something.
Feedback loop for reviews
Somehow get users to file bugs as bugs not reviews. Maybe only show relevant versions or distros. Weight the reviews differently? (recent versus not)
Backends
Flatpak
Amazing
KNS
Shared ptr for Category.
AI: have a bof on KNS
Packagekit
Hope everyone is happy
rpm ostree
Amazing work happening
fwupd
Works.
