Open SlimRG opened 3 years ago

SlimRG commented 3 years ago

Today we can only download list of all apps or list of installed apps. But, we can't navigate in it. Can you add categories or tags; For example:

For Children
Cars and Navigation
Video & Audio
Readers
VR
IoT
IDEs and Development
Art and Design
For business
Libraries
Other

@SlimRG we're discussing categories and sub-categories. Tags are already supported.

How can I use tags?

denelon commented 3 years ago

Tags are part of the schema. A description is available on the defaultLocale information. Essentially it's an array of "short" phrases one might use when searching for a package. Several manifests already use them. You can search for examples in existing manifests.

We're looking to have an enumerated list of values for categories and subcategories. There are concerns about having an open ended list of categories and subcategories.
