Description

We should add a list of connected applications in the about dialog (or somewhere else). This enables applications to register themselves to show their version number and a support url. See https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing-inotify/issues/65 for a use case.

Research direction
Investigate the current about dialog implementation in syncthing's web UI. Review the referenced syncthing inotify issue #65 to understand the use case. Look for existing patterns where version numbers and support URLs are displayed. Consider where to add the list of connected applications and how applications can register themselves.
