Salut tout le monde!!!J’ai une petite sugtosgien pour le site qui sera super pour tout le monde. Le principe est simple:Dans la partie cate9gorie, vous pouvez rajouter des sous-cate9gories. Je m’explique en prenant un exemple:Dans la cate9gorie ab cydia bb, mettez pour une sous-cate9gorie tous les tweaks se rapportant aux mails par exemple, dans une autre sous-cate9gorie, tous les tweaks se rapportant au springboard et ainsi de suite.Re9fle9chissez-bien e0 cela car cela va faciliter les recherches de tout le monde.Le moteur de recherche ne pourra pas trouver tous les tweaks cone7ernant une ide9e pre9cise comme pour l’app ab mail bb; beaucoup de tweaks se re9fe9rant e0 lui n’a pas obligatoirement le mot ab mail bb dans le nom du tweak comme ab hidenbox bb.Donc, e0 vous de voir pour cette sugtosgien.Merci d’avance!!!!!!!!!!!
