My Apps-App Gallery sounds like a good compromise to me. If you don't
know about apps and want to discover some, that's where you will look
for them since it will be the only item there, won't it?

internal concern about this feature, since a Flickr search for an artist

If it's giving weird results, seems worth leaving it out for now. From

option would be the ability to enter a tag (or even multiple) and pull
images based on those. That seems to be in line with the ethos of
