@vague@social.linux.pizza I’ve done literally hundreds of tutorials on all sorts of topics.
YouTube, for example, does not let you edit a video once it is live. They are immutable. So all YouTube tutorials are arguably out of date and dangerous the moment they are live. So we should all stop watching them right? Right?!
These things have been called add-ons for almost a decade at this point. It’s a totally pointless name change that is going to cause people confusion for no reason whatsoever. Seriously, what’s the upside?
Why isn’t apps returned as a result when searching for add-ons? That might help usability as well.

@ironicbadger@techhub.social names become obsolete with time and there is unavoidably a transition period where there might be some confusion, but that's solved with education. Sure, add-ons was a fine name but like they explain in the release notes, new users are more familiar with the concept of Apps. I don't care one way or the other
