Hi, I'm an addon developer and I have a two feature requests.
Most websites are divided into multiple pages - that makes listing the contend a bit difficult. There are only six entries per page sometimes. This takes a long time for the user to go through all pages. For Example: if the user want to see content from page five, he have to click five times at a "next page" button. If he want back to the root of the addon, he have to press back five times.
My proposal: add a function that allows the addon to extend the current list. If the user reaches the end of the current list, the addon could load more entries in the background. I think this is way more user friendly.
My second request is related to the first. Some websites/addons take a lot of time to list the content, sometimes over a minute.
Is it possible to implement a function which lists already found entries, while the scraper of the addon is working in the background? Unfinished items could be displayed as dummy entries ("Loading...").
Unfortunately, I don't have the skills to implement this on my own. If it isn't clear what I'm trying to describe, I could make a mockup.
