Sounds pretty game changing given the biggest and most common complaints about indie projects, but just to be sure:

Is exclusion tags (and/or exclusion filters) a real possibility for Mitch? 

Right now I use the quick fix the OP shared that was given by the dev here: *https://itch.io/t/160014/can-i-use-exclusion-filters 

And sadly you can't exclude multiple tags using that.

Is something like excluding multiple tags being considered/worked on for Mitch?


EDIT: link fixed

It can't be done gracefully with a client. Since there is no way to apply multiple tags at the API level, in order to get the job done, you need to resort to throwing away the data you don't want after the query response comes back. Instead of, well, just not pulling it down in the first place.
Not worth it in my opinion, especially considering the itch developers may decide to implement the API level filter in the future.
But of course it's gardenapples application.

I think removing tags from search results is a reasonable work around (I have zero programming knowledge btw so not sure if that's what you mean). 

Anyway if the feature is too awkward or difficult to add I understand. I'm not sure about the dev's given how many years it's been requested. I think I'll keep my expectations low and/or think of something by myself.
