I have a suggestion for developers.

Why do you have implemented  "whitelist" functionality in the first
place?

It's not rational.

Having "Blacklist" funkcionality would be more convient and rational.


Why I am saying this. Think what is easier:

a) browse hours and hours about all posible useful indicators You could
use and then - "Whitelist" them all. After some time repeat the cycle -
browse again, because new useful applications with new indicators keep
coming or the old ones begin using indicators...

or

b) automatically let all indicators to appear, so you automatically
know, that You new application actually has a usefull indicator. If You
dont't want that indicator - You disable it in the settings of
application. If You meet an annoying indicator - You "Blacklist" it.


In my case, after Whitelisting "all", I discovered that "tasque" to do list application actually has an indicator and that makes my life easier (and 2 powr indicators that annoys me).

I'd rather blacklist only one indicator - one of the two power
indicators, than whitelisting every single application with an indicator
(and trying to discover what else could have an usefull indicator).
