Allow to exclude categories #2741

Closed semper-idem closed 2 years ago

semper-idem commented 2 years ago

It would be nice if we could hide all those no-gameplay-value libs. They are irrelevant for most of the users, and even if you are looking for lib to do certain thing you'll probably have to ask someone with know-how rather then scroll thru all those libs with such poorly written descriptions like : "API that facilitates the creation of features" or "A library for my mods"(no hate).

Other solution could be to instead of concatenating filters (magic AND utility) we could just do OR, but It's little bit different now.

As to how it could look like, if you clicked filter 2rd time to make it exclude and turn red.

I would love to open pr but my web-dev skills are not up to the task. 😞

OR filtering is already possible through the backend. As for being possible in the frontend, this is being tracked in modrinth/knossos#363

I think you should still be allowed to exclude categories with the basic search. Probably still a frontend issue though
