Apps (and file manager) should be listed separately from content tiles

[Popolechien]

I am currently looking at https://premium-preppers.demo.hotspot.kiwix.org/ and it feels counterintuitive that the android app (and even the file manager) should be displayed along regular zim content, particularly considering that these may not be accessible / usable for a Hotspot OS user that connects via an Apple device.

These should better (currently listed among Apps on the imager) should be presented in the download tab only.

Although it's been originally discussed and decided this way, I also think this can surely be improved a lot.

I see no reason, in term of usability, to handle the filemanager differently than a ZIM in Kiwix Server. That been said, we might have problem with the solution itself.

The problem with providing software packages is different: indeed this can not directly be consumed by part of the audience. Still here I would like to understand better the problem. Do we kind of suggest in this issue the user might have difficulties to understand that this is not for him?

The file manager is not content - accurate display would be to list the content uploaded via the file manager are individual tiles.

Do we kind of suggest in this issue the user might have difficulties to understand that this is not for him?

For anyone accessing this content via macOS/iOS or even Windows, any real estate pertaining to android APKs is clutter. Generally speaking, this is also downloadable content, not browsable, so the behaviour is markedly different from the rest (we do have a download tab already where this rightfully belongs).

This issue needs to be refined.
