Client config revamp #69

Closed mwild1 closed 5 months ago

mwild1 commented 5 months ago

This branch adds a new config mechanism to control the client listings.

Notable changes:

All the clients are now maintained in a single JSON file
The site owner can now, via config.js:
- Add additional custom entries (or override existing ones)
- Hide apps certain they don't want to display
- Only show a list of specific apps
- Configure certain apps as "starred" - which displays a visible star and moves them to the front of the list
The apps are now sorted:
- Starred apps are shown first, then...
- Apps native to the user's platform are preferred
- Web apps are shown for all platforms, behind native apps (if any)
- After that, the clients are sorted lexically by name

The plan is to have clients.json open to any clients that pass the basic compliance suites. The default starred apps are those that have "advanced" in both the core and IM compliance suites.

Looks good.

You could replace the Windows link for Gajim with the Microsoft store link:

I haven't been a Windows user for a long time, but I'm curious what percentage of Windows users are happy to only get it from the store, as opposed to downloading from the original developer.

I see Gajim feature the store link prominently on https://gajim.org/download/ which suggests they recommend it, but they also have a couple of other download options for Windows. How likely is it that people might want those options?

Not sure either, but I hear that on newer versions of Windows you have to click through multiple scary warnings to install anything that is not from the store, so I guess for the lowest entry barrier it might be the best.

Ah, then, yes, it would make sense. I've asked in the Gajim MUC to see what they think.

I'm partial to the gajim site as well, never used their store, although the force it upon the users.

mwild1 commented 5 months ago

Confirmed with Gajim devs that the store URL is probably best, so I've updated clients.json.
