Gregarius - Devlog

That’s great ! :)

another useful info to gain some space :P
If you could offer the possibility to hide [www|xml] (rss.output.feedinfohide) true/false :)
because in any case we have the two info :)

for xml i can’t see any use for it while browsing :P we just used it to fill up our feeds :)
for www i think it should be better on the top of the “main page” (actually it’s only a title but without any a href link)

I will try tonight the cvs version !

Continue the awesome work :) (trac is great for project management, have a look here http://dev.dotclear.net/trac/ but need a subversion repository trac-cvs isn’t as smart :P)

go go go :)

You’re quite right: those bits of meta-information must be hideable as not everyone is interested in them. Thanks for pointing this out: sometimes we have had something right under our nose for so long we completely forget about it, and don’t see when it stops making sense.

Will look into this ASAP.

Looks cool Marco. I was wondering if a tagging feature would be labor intensive. Even a feature to star certain posts as notable would be cool. Is there a basic plugin-architecture or at least place to start that you recommend?

Indi, tagging should be implemented before version 0.4, and an API support should come in 1.0.

Tagging shouldn’t be too hard to implement: the only thing I have to figure out is how to keep the performance overhead on par (read: how to model the db schema in a smart enough way) and how to perform automatic look-ups on tagging-enabled websites (e.g. technorati and del.icio.us) in an asynchronous way: we don’t want to hit them too hard with a look-up for every new item we insert.

Asynchronous delayed lookups would be cool, with a cron-job maybe, but that wouldn’t be portable.

Maybe I could do user-only driven tagging in the meantime.

Anyway, I’m thinking about it.

cool, thank you very much for developing this.

I’ve been using FoF for about a year now, and am checking out gregarius. I like the look better the FoF, but am having issues with rendering. I’ve got about 150 feeds in my list (imported nicely via opml) and even showing two recent articles per feed is a lot of data, and takes a while to render on firefox.

A couple suggestions:
When a folder is collapsed, don’t show it’s feeds in the recent list.
Add a config option to hide recents unless you click to see just that feed.
Add next and previous feed links then looking at one feed.

I’m willing to code these if you’re accepting patches. I’m running the current CVS version, and have already made a few tweaks.

Thanks!

Thats a good point. Probably a config option to toggle read items on and off would be a good idea. My only concern with this is: what should happen when no unread feeds are available? Would the main div simply remain empty?

Add next and previous feed links then looking at one feed.

That is also a good point. I’ll definitely look into this.

Contributions are more than welcome, please go ahead: I’d love to see
your patches!
