PG3 Plugins Store Page Navigation Improvements


Recommended Posts

117 production plugins is a great testament to this community. At the same time, it's daunting for me to navigate. I have suggestions for this page in the table of plugins to make navigation more straightforward for those that are interested in what's available

The basic idea is remove "Language", that doesn't help me decide to get a plugin. With Polyglot, it doesn't affect me. What would help is the developers identifying their plugins function in fixed categories, and the page sorting the list this way when I open it... All Lighting plugins are together, Weather plugins are together, Thermostat plugins, etc

Field                 Suggested Change to the field

Language      Remove Language field, replace it with suggested
                      categories

Categories:   Ask developers to pick their plugins group
                        
Powerline & Lighting, Weather,  AV Remotes,
                        Sensors & IO, Pool, Sprinklers, Cameras, Alarm,
                        Thermostat, Hubs, Appliances & Cars,
                        Integration & notification
                        (MQTT, IFTTT, notification go here),
                         Multi function, Others. Make this the default sort

Description     Too much text at this level is daunting. Limit the
                         view to the first 40- 50 character followed
                        by "...". The developers first 50 characters should
                         "say what it is". When I click on the plugins button, I
                         read all of the important details they wrote in their
                         description on the plugin's page

Installed         Remove. I can use the main navigation to see my
                        plugins, and the plugin's page will tell me

The categories are my suggestions, some kind of tagging and sorting would help me greatly
