Abstract
An online application store may include an interface that provides collections to users of the application store. In one implementation, a webpage may be provided that presents, to a user of the online application store, a number of applications that are available, to the client, as applications for installation. The webpage may provide a visual interface that includes a first section that includes graphical representations of at least some of the applications; and a second section that provides an identification of one or more collections that each correspond to a subset of the applications. The one or more collections may include: a first collection that was created or edited by the user; and a second collection that was created or edited by one or more other users, the second collection being selected for the webpage, from a number of collections that were created or edited by the one or more other users, based on a ranking score that is determined at least based on a number of times that the subset of the applications, corresponding to the second collection, were installed.
