[Feature Request] Hide selected apps from "discover" app list

[perdittmann]

Before you submit

• I have searched the issue tracker for open and closed issues that are similar to the feature request I want to file, without success.
• I'm not requesting app support for a specific repo — that's up to repo maintainers
• I understand this might not get built (Droid-ify is maintained by a single person)

What's the problem?

Thanks for the great app!
One thing that's missing for me, though, would be the ability to hide apps from the app list.

There are a number of apps that require root or a specific other app, or which are specifically for people of a certain city/walk of life/gender etc. I like that all those apps exist, but they clutter the list for me, ever since I first figured out I would never use them.

What would help?

If, on the app screen, next to the heart icon, there was a "hide" icon (an eye crossed out, for instance), and that would make that app disappear from the "discover" list of apps, that would be really welcome.
There should also be an option to unhide the apps, of course. Maybe from a list of hidden apps, or just "unhide all hidden apps" in the settings.

Alternatives?

Maybe it would also be possible to long-press the app in the list, triggering a confirmation popup to hide the app.

Anything else?

i created a pr similar to this feature, called "blocklist" #1302 but it hasn't been looked at afaik and doesn't have a show button and is placed at the top instead of on the app card. if the dev wants a different approach and will merge it, i can look into modifying it a small bit
