Contributor guide

Research direction
Familiarize yourself with NewPipe's feed architecture: look at how feed items are loaded and displayed (e.g., FeedFragment, StreamItem). Then check the existing filtering options (e.g., by channel). To implement 'hide video', you'll need to add a database table or flag to mark videos as hidden, and modify the feed query to exclude them. Also, add UI actions per video item (maybe a 'Hide' button or long press menu).
