Improve 'getting started' experience on Flathub #3

Open ssssam opened 4 years ago

ssssam commented 4 years ago

We can improve the experience for PD newcomers. Currently we show a screenshot of a random PD patch and in the description we say:

this is a fork of Pure Data
it's experimental and may have issues.
Pure Data is portable, and has a complex history
some of the things Pure Data can do

Possible improvements:

show more self-explanatory and perhaps more eye-catching screenshots
summarize what PD can do in the 1st paragraph, not the last
provide links or instructions for finding ready-to-use examples of Pd patches (we should bundle some with the Flatpak, and make them easy to discover)
provide links or instructions for finding getting started tutorials for Pd (these should be included in the Flatpak and easy to discover)

One simple improvement would be to add a bookmark in the Gtk filechooser to the /app/lib/pd-l2ork/doc folder. These examples are very useful but there doesn't seem to be a way to access them from the menus.
