App Store Improvement Proposal
It takes a lot of time and multiple attempts to find the PRO modules. I suggest placing them in a separate category.
What do you think? Is that possible?

@Wise how it will help?
-
Easy way to list all products by UNA, as you requested 😊
-
PRO apps will be modules listed with */year.
They have other yearly products, and hosting, but any module listed with */year is PRO.
-
Use the pagination and flip through all their products.

This is some kind of sophisticated form of masochism :). As a newcomer with a fresh perspective but also someone very attentive and in IT since the mid-80s, I know well how much developers idolize code and programs and tend to be condescending toward users. But a product won’t sell itself, which might explain why there’s turnover among external model developers—they don’t see consistent, exciting monetization for their work (I hope I’m wrong).
I genuinely don’t understand why, while in the App Store, I have to navigate somewhere else, scrolling through pages with a dozen vague services for $120k, hoping to find something reasonable on the x-th search page. A client who’s not a UNA geek won’t navigate these complexities and will simply leave. Wasn’t the App Store created for convenience? The actual number of modules doesn’t match the count, either.
I’m only suggesting adding another search option—for convenience. I fully understand the team is busy but wanted to highlight areas where changes might help retain more customers. I personally gain nothing from this.

I was just pointing out a alternative to searching through the app store, nothing more, nothing less.
Yes, let me date myself.... my first computer was a Vic 20, then a commodore 64 - to a commodore 128. Amiga 500 to Amiga 2000. Then I started into ibm products, etc etc through so many different pcs and devices I've since lost count. I also do IT, mainly running fiber and cat7 lines, installing and configuring cisco switches/routers/firewalls, am a certified debian administrator, and I do pen-testing for a security firm in US. So... I get what you're saying ..... however, people come and go here because of many issues. I sold my dolphin 5.6 site for 10k in 2006, and in 2008 it flopped because mobile took over and 5.6 was not responsive. Glad I ejected. Lol. I regress, and am totally off topic, sorry...
UNA Geek - this is a great term. I like it. I shall add it to my LinkedIn.
Have a fantastic day!

It's interesting experience, dear @Wise ! But suprised that mobile part had such serious influence in 2008...

Indeed. It was when MySpace went mobile. If you remember, it was not smartphone (they weren't out yet) but everybody wanted to use the stripped down mobile versions of these sites. MocoSpace took off, and its simple design back then made it a favorite and was even included on many phones stock options. There was no such thing as responsive, it was actually a different site, hence the original reasons for m.website URLs. -- it failed for many reasons, and something that maybe I could have foreseen had I still been in operations. But I am glad I sold it. It was alive past 2008, just went slowly down, losing userbase until EOL 2010. I still miss AndreyP from Boonex. I don't know what happened to him, and I've tried through any avenue I had to contact him, but no luck. Even his old blogs are online, but not maintained for many years.
This will be my last social experiment. 😊
