This is absolutely awesome work! Thank you!
+1 for export/import function, if you have the time; multiple lists for different contexts (as well as sharing lists) would be great!
Is hiding modules a one-way trip right now? [ETA: no, it’s not; Ctrl-Space toggles them back in; thanks @stoermelder] I haven’t looked closely at the new code, but I couldn’t see it in the interface–apologies if I missed it. Without it, hiding is still useful but pretty drastic as it requires a trip to the JSON to bring something back.
Assuming unhiding isn’t implemented, it seems like a very quick solution (if you felt like it) would be to add a “Hidden” collection below “Favorites” that showed all of, and only, the Hidden modules (filtered by brand/tag exactly the way that Favorites is). That would allow things like “Which of the NYSTHI modules did I hide, again? I’d like that one back.”
When I implemented a version of module hiding back in V0.6 days, I did a “hide mode” (opened with Ctrl-click) that replaced the Favorites button with a Hidden button, which seemed like a reasonable solution for the text browser (assuming that hiding was something users would want to do in batches, rather than during ordinary workflow). But of course the V1 browser doesn’t have buttons of either kind.
