Doing mocks for the first version of AppCenter. That means the feature set needs to stay simple. No reviews or anything crazy yet. Just what data we get from a regular debian repository (plus screenshots).

I want to have some nice looking banners to spice things up a bit, but we don't have the resources to go design a ton and we won't have the bandwidth to host them. So, the idea here is to automatically generate a nice color scheme based on the icon's colors and created banners based on a few different layout templates.

Also, in the category grid, it should dynamically resize. So if you have an ultra-wide window, it can go to 3, 4, etc columns. But if you have an ultra small window, it should shrink back to just 1 (a list basically).

Looks great!

It's a bit difficult to tell which ones are local apps and which are web apps, though. Maybe that could be improved.

There shouldn't be any web apps. Only native apps.

Ok, so Facebook, Twitter or Gmail are out of place there?

Or maybe they have native apps like they do on iOS and Android ;)

Or are counting "desktopified" web apps like GWoffice as native apps?

GWoffice is very much a native app; it has a lot of plumbing in there for tabs and Granite stuff and account management. It _does_ use a webview for the editor, but it's actually a native, compiled Vala app.

Interesting update. I specially like the icon/banner idea.

Regarding taxonomy, I do feel that there could be other ways for a person to find the application they want, perhaps through the use of tags (I'm thinking of David Weinberg's book here).

I'd be interested to see how the other screens would pan out, as the navigation is not complete here. Are you thinking akin to Google Play for the categories?

What do you think about a 'featured apps' section on the front page showing GUI applications depending on granite (omitting the packages needed for development)? Otherwise it might be a bit hard to find (3rd party) elementary apps, once they're available in the ubuntu repos.
