Hi all, I'm new to the forum, but I'm an old Portableapps user.
I didn't find any question like this in the forum, so here I am.
Also, I hope that this is the right section to post this question. If not, please tell me how to move it in the right one.
I always struggle to find alternatives to some portable apps using the “Discovery” tab.
I wish to have the option to click on “Sub-category” inside the Discovery tab or in the contextual menu “Applications/Download applications/By Sub-category”. (I'm not sure if these are the exact English keywords, since I'm using Portableapps in my own mother language.)
I feel that this feature is really missing and that it will improve the usability a lot since there's many similar apps to try.
I hope you'll appreciate my suggestion.
Thanks for your kind attention.

Second this.
Unfortunately this can't be implemented in the current state of the App Directory due to the development environment (NSIS). It will hopefully eventually be rewritten to be able to add things like this: https://portableapps.com/node/28593
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I see.
Is there some ETA?
This post i from 14 years ago... it's a long time.
That post is a work in progress with things added and removed many times over the years - the age of the post is not the age of most of the bugs and features listed.
Also John is basically the only one working on the Platform, while also keeping almost all of the apps updated, and keeping the business running. The current method is not broken, and restarting it with another language and getting it up to where it is now is not so quick and easy.
