Optimize the 'install applications' UI #776

Open niels9001 opened 1 year ago

niels9001 commented 1 year ago

On the 'Install applications' page, only 6 tiles are shown and I need to manually click through to get to the other applications - which is awkward when I have enough screen real-estate to show all applications at once?

Having a continuously scrolling grid of apps would optimize this experience (like the Microsoft Store) - would make new apps more discoverable and might improve overall accessibility?

I just saw a bug here too where the pips pager is skipping the fourth page... though can't reproduce it now... maybe has to do with the initial window side (as I resized later looking at something else). It made it look like you had reached the end when you hadn't.

@AmelBawa-msft I believe a lot has changed since this was first opened, can you take a look and see if this should still be open?

We did remove the FlipView in favor of just displaying the first 6 packages and adding a View all button instead. The pips pager is no longer used here. We still have empty space if no extension is adding their own featured apps. Adding @shakersMSFT to help with this issue.
