Previously, the Connect IQ developer website's Core Topics > Application and System Modules page had detailed information about super apps, such as:
- the fact that they're available as of CIQ 4.0
- the fact that existing widgets still work on CIQ 4.0 devices
- the fact that device apps can be launched from two places (the app list and glance list)

The current site only provides some of this information, and some of it is inconsistent.
> AppBase.getGlanceView(): If your are implementing a widget that has a glance, this will be called when the user goes to browse your glance in the glance list. See the Glances section for more information.
This sort of implies that only widgets can have glances, which isn't the case. Most of the other documentation around device apps and widgets is similarly written as though super apps don't exist.

I understand that "super apps" have been around for a long time, but given that other documentation such as Connect IQ Basics > App Types and Core Topics > Glances doesn't seem to address them at all, it would be nice if the dedicated super app documentation would be restored.
