Brief support and feedback #83

It's been some months I started using Winstall.App, but I hadn't submitted feedback for you.

I have some stuff to share and thoughts on this in order to make it a better product.

  1. (suggestion) Sort by Popularity filter (most/less popular);
  2. (suggestion) Add # of installs to the packages and main pages;
  3. (suggestion) Add "View source" link to the project (if it's open-source);
  4. (suggestion) Scroll back to previous position after browsing back from the package's page (remember scrolling position);

  1. (issue) Prompt for unsaved changes on custom pack page (warn before leaving, changes will be lost, see video above);
  2. (issue) Sometimes the packages pages take too long to load (see video above);
  3. (suggestion) Add email and more OAuth login options: GitHub, Google, Facebook;
  4. (suggestion) Add full dump plain page with a list of all available packages, # of downloads and latest versions (if possible);
  5. (suggestion) Add "Missing a package? Ask to be added here." link for people that want to include new packages to the repositories;
  6. (suggestion) Add support for reactions on pages (likes/dislikes/hearts/similar to GitHub's posts) and comments on each packages pages (Discourse would be my suggestion here);
  7. (issue) Make software/package favicon/logo fetching better (many software are missing their icons).

That's all I can remember for now. Thanks for maintaining this useful tool.

Maybe I can help in the future with some other stuff, who knows... 🤷‍♂️

Take care.
