      My colleagues, friends and users of my Cloudron instances do not know the logos of the installed apps. An (editable) short description for the tiles would be helpful.
      And no: the space in label is not enough 🙂

          I do recognise the app logos, but if I've got eg. chat.url1.coop and chat.url2.coop then it's hard to tell which is which:

          For most users I hide what isn't for them using groups so they are unlikely to see this, but I'd see like a visual cue for myself!

          Once I actually hover over them the full url is displayed above, but it'd still be nice to be able to see which is which before even doing that 🙂

            @jdaviescoates That's already available by setting the display label in Dashboard App config.

              @robi thanks! Guess it hadn't annoyed me enough to see if I could already solve it! But that's much better now, thanks.

                If the space for the label is not enough, then I guess to add this feature we would have to change the layout overall. Not sure how that could be done nicely though without adding too much clutter.

                  This isn't too important to me, but the label could go down in font size and the subtitle could be 11-point size text. I don't know if I would use this, but I like the concept.

                    It's actually already the case that the longer the label is the smaller the font size become until it's so tiny it's unreadable (but I much prefer that to arbitrary length limits)

                      Ahhh, so this would impose a lower title length limit and might get messy. I think it could look good, but doesn't feel like a priority right now.

                          On mouseover, you already have the URI popup at the top, so on a long description you could have that popup on the flip side on the bottom.
