Maybe "Store" isn't the right word since money isn't exchanged, but I suggest rethinking the Add-on experience more like Apple's App Store or Google's Marketplace.
The main strength of Apple / Google are the different apps they can run that customize their experience to fit their individual needs and the program as a whole becomes much more.
Right now it's not very intuitive for a new user to know how to navigate the Add-on section. Once you've done it a few times you figure it out, but most people give up by then. It's mainly us techies that persist.
Current Cons:
- Too many confusing categories to finally find the addon you want
- Having to find & download 3rd party repos. (Provide list of available 3rd party repos to download ?)
I'll post some mockups later to better help visualize.
Just throwing out ideas, thx.
