Categories are confusing about awesome-remarkable

[CTXz]

@Ameb I don't see it necessary to become part of the official awesome list. Given the already established amount of attention this repository gets, I'll gladly prefer practicality over similarity.

[CTXz]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is there even a project in the device tools section that runs on the tablet itself?

Edit: Never mind, just saw PR #22 and #23

Either ways, I still agree since this could lead to confusion if client sided tools are to be added. How exactly would you propose categorizing projects that are host & client sided or that use ssh as well as the web UI (ex. our scripts repo)?

[bruot]

I think categorizing by way of communication is more important than by where things are running. Where things run is more about how the program works internally, while the communication path (Wifi with SSH, USB, or cloud) changes how the user uses the program. Some people prefer to access and play with their files using the cloud; others will want an offline system, etc.

[CTXz]

Would you think that a general tool section, along with a set of subsections for each communication path (usb, cloud etc.) would suffice?

I'm still conflicted about tools that use multiple ways to communicate with the device. For instance, repush from our scripts repo offers USB and Wifi to communicate with the device.

Perhaps tags would be better than categories? They could appear as little icons for USB, Wifi, etc in front of each tool, and one tool could have several tags.

[CTXz]

That's a good suggestion! @Ameb your opinion?

[Ameb]

I would love tags, but those aren't used on other awesome lists.

Be the change you wish to see in the world.
Seriously though, tags would be greatly appreciated, and would make for better UX.

just created a PR and also found the categories a bit confusing.
adding tags seems like a nice idea!
one of the tags i am interested is the programming language used. especially if applications are written for the tablet itself.
