Apps Discover New Category

Problem/Justification
(What is the problem you are trying to solve with this feature/improvement or why should it be considered?)

It would be really convenient to have a category in the Apps → Discover page that displays ONLY new apps. Currently it shows both new and updated.

Impact
(How is this feature going to impact all TrueNAS users? What are the benefits and advantages? Are there disadvantages?)

This would impact users browsing the app catalog looking for new things to try out. It can be difficult to find the new things because they get buried under updates to existing apps.

User Story
(Please give a short description on how you envision some user taking advantage of this feature, what are the steps a user will follow to accomplish it)

As a user, I would like to be able to check in on the discover page and briefly see what new apps there are to try, rather than being bogged down by updates to applications. I can already see updates for apps I have installed on the main apps page.

This is a good feature request for the UI, but in the meantime, you can also go to https://apps.truenas.com/, scroll down past the Featured Apps and use the dropdown to change from Top 10 to Newest. That will show new additions to the catalog over the past 30 days or so.

I think its better on the website… we can provide more detail like numbers of users

@randomdude583 what do you think?

I didn’t even realize that dropdown was there on the website! I always clicked on the catalog, and the filters are pretty lacking on that page.
Seems like the data is there would be nice to have the filtering improved on both the website and the apps page.
