Oh, I know exactly what you mean. I like to keep some forums on my app as well that I just want to scan from time to time. Seeing all those “Connect” buttons is annoying.
But, as you say, the problem is: what if one day you decide to want to finally click “Connect”?
I have an idea for a solution though. We can add a system where “Connect” is not shown in the list if a site was added to the home screen more than 1 week ago. We can show a “Connect” button in the swip left state, next to the trash icon, for the users that one day would like to finally “Connect”. We can also improve the connect story from the login button in the site.
I’ll do some work on this shortly, thanks for the idea and the nudge!
