Hello Thomas

As part of the current boosters sprint[1] which aims at integrating
the appstream[2] project into our distribution we would like to enhance
the web view on our packages at software.o.o/search.

With the final target of an web-based appstore we began thinking of
how to display a package (app) to the user.
The challenge is to make available the matrix of different OS versions,
repositories and package versions in a clear way while making it easy for
the standard user to get the latest stable version for his OS without
getting confused.

We already have a mockup available:

Feedback appreciated :-)


"The openSUSE instance currently has over 30.000 users that are building almost 160.000 packages for 22 base distributions on 6 architectures."

As an user I would appreciate an additional functionality to search for applications via schemes. For examble: If I would look for an app for project management and don't know the name. So I would like to search for office applications and look if there is an app available.

Is this idea discussed already?


Best regards

Wolfgang
