What to do with non-matched addons? about ajour HOT 2 CLOSED

I think there are two issues at play.

1. How should unrecognized addons be displayed?
2. Should we only try and match addons using their ID from the toc file, if one is present?

Regarding #1 I think your solution of adding "-" to the second column is fine. Though I think the columns could use some titles. Eg. "Your version" and "Latest version" or something similar.

Regarding #2 I noticed that Angry Notes is hosted on Curseforge (https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/angry-notes). Maybe as a fall back, if no ID's are present, do a textual search based on Title (without web colors).

Do the APIs (curse/wowi/tukui) support that?

I'll create a separate issue on this, and make that happen. #20

Yeah, so right now i am using https://addons-ecs.forgesvc.net/api/v2/addon/2382 for curse, where 2382 is an id found in the .toc file. That API, as far as i know, only works with that API. However later I would make sense to have a fallback solution with another API where i can search for a addon by slug/name.
