Would like to be able to turn off or on what is currently on the Home Screen at a minimum.

Thanks for opening the issue. I understand this is related to https://github.com/iBicha/playlet/issues/51#issuecomment-1666954847, I haven't ignored that. The bookmarks is a stopgap towards that, but I've been making plans towards the UI and decomposition of the screens. Here's the current plan:

Search

As it is in its current form.

Explore

Me

Bookmarks

Whatever bookmarks exists here

Finally, I do intend to make each screen optional and can be toggled from the settings, as we as each row in them.

=======

Now back to the current Bookmarks feature, it's now possible to bookmark Subscriptions and Playlists from the home screen, with whatever other items you want, and you will not need to use the home screen at all.

For me it’s about not wanting to see certain content at all, especially on the Home Screen. Take this attached screenshot for an example of such content . If I can see just the channels and playlists I subscribed to or added , I feel better about having my kids in the room when I open the app. In Invidious, I have my Home Screen set to just show Subscriptions and Playlists. I couldn’t care less about the content that YouTube is pushing.

I am not sure ,but can it be set via whatever the user has already selected for Invidious home page? Is that available to you?

Available, yes. Playlet's presentation is different from Invidious. Invidious shows one feed at a time, while Playlet shows many things at once. Nonetheless, I'm prototyping a kind of "editor" that allows you to disable certain feeds, and change their order as well #250 . That should be about enough to remove anything you don't care about

iBicha commented 6 months ago

250 merged, with the ability to disable feeds and reorder them. That should be enough for now to allow some level of customization.

We will refine the UI layout in later features
