I think the store should indicate (maybe with icons in the listing) whether a click package provides an app or a scope. For example, Telegram seems to be a perfectly symbiotic pair, but I really would have appreciated knowing that there was a scope beforehand.

In addition, there are a large number of completely worthless webapps and there are sure to be an equally dubious number of RSS scopes in the near future. It'd be nice to see when an official app came with a scope so that I could look into curating any standalone unofficial scopes that were locally installed.
