Description

It is amazing that we can extend features by installing applications into Nextcloud. If I may make some requests based on my observations with the application manager, that would be wonderful.

  1. First thought would be to add a checkbox option on the left side menu to hide / unhide installed applications. It would help in make it easier to find applications more efficiently

  2. Perhaps including a date column beside the version number to determine whether an app is newly submitted or updated. I find it hard to discover newer submissions without having to sift through every entry, or expand the Discover page and add New additions below Best Rated Apps
    -> perhaps using Featured Apps section and creating two sections, Featured Apps and Newest Apps

  3. News is included under the Discover section, maybe that could be separated into a News subcategory under Discovery

  4. a check box to hide old/incompatible/would break installation option

  5. The left hand mind could be re-organized so its alphabetical or simply moving Flow after Files

Thank you for reading my suggestions
