UX: make featured extensions look more special than the all extensions section on catalog page about podman-desktop

That looks nice! But it hasn't removed those duplicate items.

What about this:

(And here I'm learning the tool, so this is a quick draft I made in Inkscape — the colors are horrible on purpose, all I want to communicate is the layout. You can make things way nicer than I can anyway! 😄)

Here I merged both the Featured Extensions and the Available Extensions together to get rid of the duplicities. And then I somehow highlighted the featured ones. That would need to be done in a better way than this of course!

What do you think about this direction?

I really like that idea!! I'll mock it up on penpot :p

Had a look at this, maybe the way to go could be using the cards like in the learning centre? This gives the user the option to hide them then also.

Diff states for these cards can be defined / documented in the design system. I saw some already created in the penpot file:

WDYT @asamalik?

I can imagine the "Featured" designator could be many different things, like a badge, or an icon, or even slightly different background and border... anything to make it nice, distinct, and clear that it's featured.

Maybe you can even reuse what you've done, and use the bigger cards in there.

on my side I like the proposal to display featured first using almost the same layout

something like this?
