Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I want to use this app to access stack exchange sites currently in beta For example https://langdev.stackexchange.com

Describe the solution you'd like Beta sites should be available from the normal list of sites

Describe alternatives you've considered There is no alternative

Hey @tortoise74, I'm able to search for the beta site you posted above. Does it not show up for you?

tortoise74 commented 1 year ago

That is odd. Its does now. It did not show up when I scrolled through the list or tried other searches.

Looking again I see the problem is "prog" is not a prefix search for "programming". There is however a tab completion option and searching for "programming" does show it. I did not see it when scrolling through the massive list of sites manually. After finding it with the search it is there at the very end but its meta is not so Iguess its possible beta sites are hidden until you first visit them?

So I would say my original issue is not a bug but in its place I have the following suggestions:

  1. allow prefix search (in the site search)
  2. sort the complete list of sites alphabetically (or include a button to do so)
  3. add a (filter?) option to restrict the list of sites to those you are a member of (via your network profile)

@tortoise74 Makes complete sense. I'm seeing that as well. I'll work on this prior to the next release. Thanks for taking the time to report it!
