-
In-App Updates: Add a convenient feature in the settings menu to check for and install application updates directly.
-
Customizable Card Designs: Provide users with options to switch between different visual themes and layouts for their cards.
-
Persistent Search & Filters: Automatically save the state of search queries and active filters on the list page (
