If AI is so good, can it categorize all the addons in the Resource Manager ?

Or if I gave it the categories, could it correctly place the addons in the best category ?

What I am referring to is this uncategorized mess:
xenforo.com

Add-ons [2.x]

xenforo.com xenforo.com

could it also categorize all the addons hosted elsewhere ?
 
Yes, with the Resources Section the xenforo 1 add-ons were categorized. The xenforo 2 add-ons all in one 132 page category can be a bit overwhelming to browse. Glad to have this many add-ons, but it would be nice I think if they could be categorized too.
 
I agree it's a mess, there are several categories with 3 or 4 resources, and then one with 3,000+

What categories do you propose?
 
I don't always know exactly what I'm looking for, so I found the 1.x categories helpful:
xenforo.com

Add-ons [1.x]

I'm not sure exactly how the 3k add-ons for XF2 would fit into subcatgories;

I was looking for media gallery add-ons and found it difficult to know if I'm seeing them all with 2.x searching for XFMG, media gallery, gallery, but also getting some non-media gallery add-on results, whereas with 1.x there was a category so it was very easy to see the media gallery add-ons. That one is probably the simplest category that would be nice.

I also was searching for
profile
postbit
attachment icon styling
navigation
anti-bot/spammer add-ons.
 
I think how obsidian does it should be considered.

https://community.obsidian.md/search?type=plugin (9231 plugins).

Along the side they have around 100 categories.
What works is when you search for something, you also get the most relevant categories, as your search starts as plugin and category searching.

Here is where I searched for OCR plugins.
