Description Allan Day 2014-08-14 11:59:12 UTC
It would be helpful to provide people with a way to see other apps in each section of recommended apps. The latest mockups include a "More..." button, but I think that "View All" might be a better label:

Still valid for 3.19?

It's something I'd still like, yes.

In case of the category of the day it's easy to implement when you realise that the list of recommended apps is exactly (a subset of) the Featured subcategory of that category. For example, today's category of the day is Graphics. When you click Graphics category button and make sure that Featured is your selected subcategory you will see the same apps as in the Recommended Graphics Applications section on the Overview page. Allan, do you want this button to act as a shortcut to Graphics → Featured?

A list of all Editor's Picks could be more complex. Maybe we should create a virtual category which would be accessible only by the button next to the Editor's Pick caption, never by the regular browsing of the categories? It would probably feature only one subcategory. Allan, what do you think?

Doing that for each category sounds good.

That sounds correct.

It would just include editor's picks apps. Should probably look like one of the category pages, without the sidebar.
