I'd hold on with the 'brilliant' qualifier until we see the interface, but the concept certainly looks fitting to the OS model. Is this the entire JSON though?

- ngokevin 14y agoYou can see the early version at marketplace.firefox.com
- DeepDuh 14y agoLooks quite neat. I'd like someone to bring some fresh approaches into this however, instead of just basically the Appstore interface with a different skin. Especially for web-apps I'm still not that sure how important the appstore starting point for finding apps actually is. How about a unified search built into the OS with priority set like 'installed apps > other available apps > local data > Google Search' ? Of course, for those who want to search by category it's still good to have a curated list somewhere. But isn't the search for webapps basically the same as a Google search with some meta information sugar on top?
- ngokevin 14y agoWell, the store has a search bar that returns web-apps of any category. But these web-apps are meant to be installed. Some web-apps will be the same as navigating to a mobile version of a site, but many web-apps are developed to work offline.
