Chrome Web Store gets a trending view and other enhancements

Google has rolled out a trending feature on their Chrome Web Store.

Trending section in the store would now highlight the apps that gained traction in the last couple of hours/days.

Google also highlighted other improvements that were released in the recent weeks:

1. Chrome Web Store now has sub-categories to further improve app discovery.
2. Searching is improved with auto-suggestions.
3. Apps with special capabilities have badges. Currently there are two types of badges: apps that can work offline, apps that are available on Google Plus.

Google added:

All of these improvements will especially come in handy as more apps and extensions launch every day. In the last few weeks, almost all the Google+ games have become available in the store, like the new exclusive Kingdom Age. These add to a slate of new Native Client games like MiniNinjas and new productivity and entertainment apps and extensions like Share on Meebo, Hotmail, and Google’s My Chrome Theme and Google Play Movies.
