How did you do this organizing? Sounds like something I might find useful.

For months, I'd been organizing my apps into different categories and putting each one in a different page. This kind of worked, but I found that I was doing a ton of swiping whenever I needed to get to an app that was a few pages away. I finally added a new page as my first one that has my 20 or so most used apps. I use the Reset to First Page app so that I'm almost always going back to it. This seems to work pretty well. Mainly I wish WebOS would make going to other pages easier/faster. Having a folder system might work, or a virtual desktop like system that Android has. The other thing that would be useful would be to allow for duplicates, or "shortcuts" to a given app. This way I could put something in its category page AND on the first page (and even on the quick launch bar. The quick Launch Bar also could use some work - mainly the ability to have a second row, or heck a third row of icons. I'm surprised no one has done this as a patch except that maybe it's just not possible given the current UI... I really hope that some of these things get improved upon in the next 6 months. WebOS's UI has been pretty static over the last year (and I guess even before that), and while patches are nice, they can't do everything it seems...
