Hide the Featured category on the homepage

[marko-srb]

We'd like to use this category only for practical reasons, so that we can manually affect which site goes to the home page. In that light, we'd love if this category is hidden from the home page.

Since we will temporarily add categories on the places of tags, featured shouldn't appear below site screenshots/post thumbnails, or at least not on the home/landing page.

I thought we were only hiding it from within the site grid (which is tracked in #183). If the Featured category is "only for practical reasons", are you suggesting to remove it as a filter option entirely?

I'm not sure it makes sense to remove it just from the homepage filter, IMO those options should be consistent through the site.

@ryelle how hard would it be to hide Featured entirely? So it is just an internal category that is used for site sorting, but not something that the public sort/search by. That would solve this.

Sure, that would be easier than conditionally hiding it on some pages.

@marko-srb @jasmussen are you comfortable with this approach?

Sure. To me, Featured means it's in the homepage. So it's a utility class. I'm fine with hiding it.

Thanks for confirmation. Let's move forward on this @ryelle 🙏
