Feature description

Please add an option to hide (like in what's new tab) or gray out (or collapse or something more distinct than the thin red bar) watched videos in the channel view.

Why do you want this feature?

Current indication of thin red bar is often hard to notice especially when most videos on the list already have this bar. Also flashy youtube thumbnails make it harder to see.

Additional information

Since current solution is probably fine for the majority of users this option could be added to accessibility options.

Hi, I'm interested in working on this issue. Could I be assigned to it?

Hey @yy-385! Thanks for showing an interest in contributing. Unfortunately, the app is undergoing a major refactor right now, and devs are discouraged from sending in feature PRs. You can still do so, but there's a very low probability of them being reviewed any time soon. If you're still okay with that, please go ahead!

[yy-385]

Thanks for the timely response. I'm still interested in working on this issue, even if it won't be reviewed right away. Could you go ahead and assign me to the issue? Looking forward to getting started!

I see that yy-385 implementation was rejected but I hope this feature will be implemented one day. This thin red bar is hardly visible. It leads to poor user experience.
