some small improvements about covid19stats

[WildOrangutan]

Ok, I will start by adding two minor features:

• Add selected country persistence, so previously selected country is saved between app restarts
• Load chars by default

I don't have much time to work on this project right now, but as soon as school and exams are over I'll try to implement some of the proposed features.

In the meantime, feel free to submit pull requests for any of those features. I'll try to be as quick as possible to review and merge them.

no pressure! these are just some suggestions which came into my mind while trying your nice app. - take the time you need to study and pass your exams... best wishes to you! 🤞

besides i'm also really busy the last weeks (hence the late reply - sorry!), i'm unfortunately not really a dev, i'm just a bug hunter and only writing & fiddling around with scripts. 😒 else i'm a FOSS enthusiast, and thankful that skilled devs like you write awesome FOSS... thank you! 👏

I wanted to let you know that in the latest release (2.0) separators have been added and going forward I'll try to implement some of the other features that you suggested.

I may leave you a PR or two, if you don't mind. Are you currently working on any of these features?

[GabrielTavernini]

Pull requests are more than welcome, feel free to do as many as you want. At the moment I'm not working on any of those features. I've added the button for a setting page but I didn't have time to add any of the features.

Months ago I thought about how to implement these features and my idea was to have the default country and view fields in the settings page, and the ability to set favorites in the country selection page (maybe activated by a floating button).
Anyway, feel free to do whatever you think is better and let me know if you have any questions about the code.
