Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'd love to be able to hide Psst from the Dock. I like apps which run in the background for long periods of time (like playing music throughout the day) to not take up space in the Dock.
Describe the solution you'd like
A Show Psst in the Dock checkbox in the Settings > General window, which is checked by default, but can be unchecked and the icon will not be shown in the Dock. Then I can simply hide the main app window with ⌘ + H and come back to it when I want with ⌘ + tab. Or just use the controls in the built-in macOS icon in the menu bar.
Describe alternatives you've considered
A more complete solution would be to have a Psst macOS menu bar icon which can be used to select playlist, next song, etc. But this is of course a lot more involved and not what I need. I'm good with just hiding the Dock icon like I described above.
Additional context
Take Hammerspoon as an example:
You might be able to get away with setting a boolean key called LSUIElement -- it's been available for a while, in theory it works with all Mac OS X apps going back to the OG 10.0 release.
Not 100% sure if this is exactly what you're after, but either this or this has steps that might help.
NB: I haven't tried this with Psst specifically
