Emulating labels in 3rd-party client RSS Guard #946

If the labels are for feeds it's a duplicate of #386, otherwise it's related to #732. |

@anoymouserver Yes, and I suggest to emulate the functionality requested in #732 and I am asking if it is worth it, in other if there would be some nice number of users using it. |

Oh, thanks for the mention. To be honest, the missing option for labels/boards/tags/... are pretty much the only thing that currently prevent me from migrating to Nextcloud News. So for me personally, having this feature would mean a lot. :D However, I realize that #732 didn't get much traction. Also, I don't have the technical knowledge to fully gather what you might try to do and whether it might end up in too much (technical or administrative) overhead to be worth the effort. But getting the feature into the News app would be – in general – highly appreciated from my side. |

The overall result would be that if you would use RSS Guard as a client, then it would display labels and you would be able to create/edit/remove labels and assign them to messages, filter messages according to label etc. RSS Guard would "emulate" the functionality via custom file which will be stored on your nextcloud instance and completely managed by RSS Guard via Nextcloud API. Literally the only thing you will notice is that in your Nextcloud "Drive" you will have file there named something like "rssguard_labels_db" which will include information about your labels and their assignments to messages. This file will be probably some kind of database file (either SQLite or perhaps even human readable JSON/XML/whatever). |

Such a feature will probably improve RSS Guard users' experience, and you should probably go ahead with implementing that if you can. But unless Nextcloud News supports that feature natively, I'd have to stay away from using it. Most of the time I read my feeds on phone and I can't take advatage of this feature there. |

My opinion would basically be what @onnyyonn said: It would probably be a good improvement for RSS Guard users. However, I personally prefer reading in browser/apps, as I consume my feeds at work, on the desktop at home and on my phone. But for users already using RSS Guard, having more features is never a bad thing. :D So to me, it feels more natural to realize the feature in the RSS Guard repository. |

If someone wants to implement it I'd happily review it. I don't think it's a really difficult change, it's just not a priority for me. |

Hello guys. I am developer of RSS Guard, some people might know it. RSS Guard has plugin for Nextcloud News and recently add "labels" functionality (which supports synchronizable labels - know working natively for Inoreader and TT-RSS). I was thinking to add similar functionality for News too, but it seems that Nextcloud News does not support labels/tags at all, am I right? I suppose I am.
Therefore I got and idea. I could emulate synchronizable labels on my own. For example I could use Nextcloud API to store needed data (titles, colors of labels, label-message assignments) in custom file and then read and update the file as needed.
Would this kind of functionality be welcomed? I believe RSS Guard would be maybe (?) the first Nextcloud News client to offer such a feature?
