Suggestion: Ability to filter library by platform

Title. Many of us use itch.io to purchase bundles, such as the Racial Justice and Equality bundle last summer. This makes one's library clogged with games we aren't entirely informed about. The ability to sort one's library to only show games playable on Android would be a great help in cases like that.

Thanks for the app; it's great!

Edit: Also, I don't know if these are already implemented, but the ability to see/edit the address bar, and have multiple tabs open, would also be of benefit for similar reasons, as well as making it easier to browse for games.

I also bought the famous Bundle and I’m considering adding special features for that, but it’s not a huge priority (especially now that months have passed since the bundle was released)

Unfortunately because Mitch is an unofficial app, it’s quite difficult to get certain kinds of information, like the platforms supported by a game. Right now I’m relying on parsing HTML and getting info through the games’ store pages. This works well for individual games, but for an entire library this kind of scanning just does not work. I might have to some more research on that.

I won’t add tabbing support for the same reason: it’s too complicated for me. At that point, I’d basically be creating a custom web browser.
