Abstract: Techniques are described for presenting selectable tiles on a user interface. In an example, the techniques include providing a graphical user interface, including an immediate selection area and a full selection area, for user interface (UI) elements, some being selectable to launch or resume a corresponding computer application. The techniques also include determining a library of computer applications that a user executed or obtained. The techniques also include selecting a first subset of the library of computer applications a number of items in the first subset being limited. The techniques also include rendering UI elements of the first subset on the graphical user interface in the immediate selection area. The techniques also include identifying a second subset of items from the library. The techniques also include displaying UI elements of the library in the full selection area of the graphical user interface.

Abstract: Techniques are described for presenting application variations on a user interface. In an example, the techniques include associating computer applications with an application group, the computer applications being different variations of a same computer program. The techniques further include generating a user interface (UI) element that represents the application group. The techniques further include selecting a first computer application of the computer applications to indicate in association with the UI element. The techniques further include presenting the UI element on a user interface, the UI element indicating the application group and the first computer application, the UI element configured to, upon selection via the user interface, launch the first computer application or launch a page about the application group.

Abstract: Techniques are described for an intuitive and efficient GUI. In an example, a UI elements are presented on a GUI. Each one of the UI elements can corresponds to a set of computer applications or a set of computer files having attributes and each one of the UI elements can be selected to launch, as applicable, a computer application, a computer file, or a page about the computer application or computer file. A request to sort the UI elements can be received and can indicate at least one of the attributes as a sort factor. The UI elements are sorted accordingly and presented in an updated arrangement on the GUI. An attribute used in the sorting is presented within or in proximity to the UI elements, whereas another attribute not used in the sorting is not presented in the updated arrangement.
