Allow to hide individual rooms

With music, assemblies and self organized session there are meanwhile quite a bunch of columns in the app. Therefore, it would be nice to hide individual rooms/columns via the settings.

Being a couch participant this year for 35c3 it would be very convenient to have a "no stream/recording" filter feature to hide any entry that won't be transmitted (hoping this is an existing attribute).

With this filter in effect all columns that are empty could then be automatically hidden.

Wow, the no-stream addition is a splendid idea! 👍

It could of course work as a highlight as well for people at the conference "Go watch it because it won't be recorded!" :)

And/or rearrange the order of the columns. When I was searching for interesting sessions at FOSDEM2021 I found myself always swiping through a few tracks in the middle of the schedule. Having these columns at the end but not necessarily hidden would be nice too.

I like the idea. I would just like to see everything and quickly scroll through the whole day without changing rooms all the time, this way it just takes much longer.

I'd look just having a button like the "favourites" button that opens a list of all talk, so I can add those that I find interesting.

Thank you for your input @erebion. My impression from listening to the usage patterns of different people is that the app has the following usage scenarios which must be addressed differently:

1. Before the congress / before sessions take place: Browse the schedule to compose a list of favorites
2. At the congress / sessions are upcoming: Have a good overview, see what is upcoming
3. After the congress / sessions took place: Revisit the schedule and favorites to find missed stuff or consume again

To address these usage patterns a well thought of design / UX flow has to be prepared.

Yup, but I think just seeing "Oh, that's next" without switching rooms a dozen times is the most common. I also think just being able to see everything in one column would help many users.

Also, @johnjohndoe, I think this would help with all thre use-cases you stated. :)
