filter out outdated applications #635

Open kuvaldini opened 8 months ago

kuvaldini commented 8 months ago

in search and on main page there are oudated applications from 2014, 2017. they usually do not work and just stoling user attention and time. i would prefer to keep out from abandoned staff, it usually useless and does not work properly, or even just do not start.

solution

  1. filter out oudated apps
  2. out of date duration should be settable in settings
  3. by default let's take 1 year as a termin to consider app is out of date

i'm at least strongly against a default setting for hiding old apps because old != outdated!

e.g. i and quite some users i know, still use a 10 years old app called MyAppList, which is genius, has no vulnerabilities and still works like a charm as soon as you passed all artificial warnings and restrictions like this bonkers --bypass-low-target-sdk-block. for sure, it could use a little polish/update but until someone shows me a FOSS app which can save a list of chosen apps or automatically of all, every time you (un-)install an app, as XML/JSON, HTML and TXT file. and use this files to install a chosen subset or all of them from whatever store (Google Play, Aurora Store, F-Droid, Droid-ify etc.) you want in one go... i still continue to use this unbelievably old but good app.
