[FEATURE REQUEST] Skip a specific update

[asamofal]

Hi! Thanks for the app!
It would be very convenient to have the option to skip a specific update for a module. The use case would be like this: the user receives a notification about an available update, checks the changelog for the update, and decides whether to update or skip it. If the user chooses to skip the update, the app should not bother them with notifications about this version.

E.g. Youtube ReVanced publishes new releases every few days but their changes really minor usually, so I don't want to install the update because of the required phone reboot, instead I want to just skip the update.

In terms of the UI, an additional option could be added to the update details dialog - "Skip this update" (or something similar, maybe even just an icon).

That UI option would not work for all repos, but we will evaluate the practicality of such an option.

However, currently, you can exclude modules from update checks individually in settings.

I am not familiar with the app's current implementation details, but I believe it's possible to have a local database of installed modules where information about skipped versions can be stored. This means that before sending a push notification, you can check if a new version of the target module is not a part of the list of skipped/ignored versions, even if it's published on multiple repositories (of course if a new version called the same as in skipped list).

Yeah, I know it. But my idea is to give additional flexibility in control of updates. I don't want to skip all the updates for specific modules, some of them can be really interesting...

@androidacy-user this could work for all repos if we store the last update skipped in app.

The issue is not the behind the scene impl but the UI for such an option. Currently, we have a static blocklist managed via settings screen that uses shared prefs to remember user choice. Adding a button to ignore a specific update automatically just isn't feasible for all repos currently.

The impl under consideration would require the user to specify the version to skip manually via settings.

I have a lot of respect for your work, so I hope I don't come across as someone who is telling you what to do. However, I think this idea is very simple to implement. We just need to create a store where skipped or ignored versions can be stored (in general it can be a store even for everything related to installed modules), add a button to the update dialog that allows the user to add a version to that store, and then check that store before sending a push notification about updates.
As I understand now you have a different workflow, but you know, it's never late for changes :) That local store of installed modules can be really handy for some other functions as well. It's even not required to change just everything now, that store can be used additionally to existing architecture, and, maybe, with time some of the settings will be moved to/based on that store too.

Anyway, my goal was just to share an idea that can be handy for users.

WebView isn't in an update dialogue, however
