Feedback / Feature Ideas (Notifications, article overview etc.)

[DatAres37]

First of all thanks for this app and your work in your free time. Really appreciate it 👍

I just wanted to share my ideas for other features with you guys after switching to the Nextcloud news app. I check the open issues and they don't seem to be proposed yet.

• It looks like the notifications were already improved in the past (More useful notifications #754). I'd take this one step further and actually show the headlines of the articles in the notification, just like other news apps do. The "You have unread items" message is just forcing you to expand the notification to get some meaningful information and even then it's just the bare minimum (headlines). When the notification is expanded, you could show each article one by one and the source feed or the first words of the article for example.
• It would be great to have the possibility to see all articles and not just the unread ones, to get a good overview over all feeds just like on the web interface. At the moment there doesn't seem to be a way to do this if you have multiple subfolders.
• The possibility to mark an article as unread would be neat if you accidentally opened an article and want to read it later.
• Last but not least it would be a good feature to have separate notification settings for each feed or subfolder, for example for feeds that you want to read every once in a while, but are not important enough to receive a notification for.

I hope that I have not overlooked any features that may already exist and that you find these suggestions as practical as I do :)
Thanks in advance.

@DatAres37 thank you for your input!

It would be great to have the possibility to see all articles and not just the unread ones, to get a good overview over all feeds just like on the web interface. At the moment there doesn't seem to be a way to do this if you have multiple subfolders.

Hmm, maybe as a workaround put all your folders into one root folder? 🤔

The possibility to mark an article as unread would be neat if you accidentally opened an article and want to read it later.

At least this one is easy: This is possible for years of course.
Just press the read/ubread checkbox

After all it would be great if you could split up your feature requests into separate issues, so one can discuss and work on them independently 🙂

I don't think it's possible to move a folder inside another folder. At least I couldn't do it.

Will do.
