[Feature Request] Support for Android TV/DPAD
Description
On Android TV/"Android Box" the app is unusable using the remote control, requires mouse mode (on supported remotes) or external mouse to use it.
Also the app icon doesn't show on Android TV launcher, requires third party launcher to show all apps installed.
Android TV support is definitely a niche that no other store seem to tackle yet (see also here, here, here, here, here and here).
@alexanderadam you seem to be much interested on this.
I'll consider working on this (on the long term) after v1.0.0. But it would help if couple of technical pointers could be linked here till then.
Although am not sure how working on this could look like, as I don't have an (Android) TV and I prefer working on physical devices.

Sure, here you are:

Nvidia also provides a bit and they also provide images for their Android TV devices. If you prefer physical devices, you could probably get a Chromecast between 20,- to 30,- in Berlin. There are surely cheaper devices but I guess the Chromecast might be a better reference as it comes directly from Google and it follows all Android standards a such.
