      In the Cloudron dashboard, apps are listed alphabetically based on the install URL. There are same ways to manage the group of apps but each has its limitations and the way Cloudron groups apps is by "hiding" the rest.

      What I'm proposing is a different approach and it's by grouping apps into sections/categories on the dashboard instead of the "hiding" concept.

      Ideally, we'll be able to group apps based on their purpose and frequency of use and be able to rearrange entire categories while keeping all apps visible on the dashboard.

      There's an app request (Dashy) that might do all of what I'm proposing but I feel that this should be a native Cloudron enhancement instead. Your thoughts, anyone?

        @humptydumpty I agree some grouping would be nice.
        In my scenario, I would like to group by :

        • domain (all apps for domain1.tld, then all for domain2.tld etc.)

        • app (all instances of e.g. Nextcloud, regardless of the app/domain name, so that a.domain2.tld is shown 'alongside' z.domain2.tld : currently they would be top and bottom of cloudron although they are both Nextcloud)

        Yes we can use Dashy or Heimdall or Flame or whatever, but having it in Cloudron would be more native solution, and may avoid the need for (yet another) app to do some basic organisation.

          Yeah, I like the idea of adding 'categories'. We can keep the existing tags for filtering. But categories can simply organize the dashboard with "groups".

              I would very much like this feature as well. I just installed some more things and it is somehow getting out of hands.
