Fix web build be initializing `JustAudioMediaKit` only on Linux and
Windows where it is really used. The corresponding issue for the broken
web build can be found here
https://github.com/Pato05/just_audio_media_kit/issues/15.
To test the web build on every PR to avoid such issues, the CI/CD
pipeline for the web build is now also run on every PR. On PRs we skip
the upload to Cloudflare for the web build.
This commit disables the adding of new Nitter sources, because Nitter is
deprecated 😞 and adding new sources is not working anymore. Nitter
sources are also not updated anymore, because the update for Nitter
sources isn't working as well. To ensure that the Nitter sources are not
updated anymore the sources with type `nitter` are skipped in the
scheduler.
The Nitter source isn't removed completly, because we would also have to
cleanup the database and their might be items, which are bookmarked by
users.
See https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/1155#issuecomment-1913361757
X (Twitter) was never supported and the code was never used to add a
source. We kept it in the hope that it will be possible again to use X
within the app. Since this isn't the case it is time to remove the code.
This commit fixes the style of blockquotes when we render the item
description as Markdown. Until now blockquotes had a weird blue
background, so that the text wasn't readable.
Now we are using the secondary color as background and we add a border on
the left site with the primary color.
We would also like to use italic as font family, but there is currently
a bug, so that the defined blockquote style is not applied. See
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/81720
This commit adds support for 4chan. This means that 4chan can be
selected as a new source type. When the 4chan source is selected a user
can select a board from which he wants to get the RSS feed.
The Nitter source now supports playing Piped Videos directly within the
app. For this we are checking if the Nitter post contains a piped.video
url and if this is the case we are using the newly added
`ItemPipedVideo` widget to render the video player, to allow users to
directly play the video within the app.
To support Piped videos we had to create a new `ItemPipedVideo` widget,
which is very similar to the `ItemYoutubeVideo` widget. This means on
the web version of FeedDeck we show the Video via an iframe and on the
other platforms via our `ItemVideoPlayer` widget. The main difference
between Piped and YouTube widget is the different client we use to fetch
the video urls. Besides the Piped API returns two different stream one
for the video and one for the audio, so that we had to add an additional
`audio` paramter to the `ItemVideoPlayer` widget, which allows us to
specify an additional audio source for a video.
NOTE: We had to add support for Piped, because Nitter automatically
converts the YouTube urls to the corresponding Piped urls.
The Mastodon source supports YouTube Videos now. This means that if a
Mastodon post contains a link to a YouTube video as user can now
directly watch the video within the app.
If the post contains a video we render the YouTube video and the
description instead of the description, images and videos.
The Reddit source supports YouTube videos now. This means if a Reddit
post contains a link to a YouTube video, we render the video in the item
details, so that a user can directly watch the video.
This commit fixes the password validations. In #130 we introduced some
stronger password policies to forbid weak passwords, but forgot to
change it in all places. Now the same rules are also applying when a
user changes his password or resets his password.
During the sign in we do not use the same rules, to not block users
which have already signed up, with a password which doesn't match the
rules.
This commit improves our password policy, so that every user which signs
up must have a password with a minimum length of 8 characters, one upper
and lower case letter and one number.
This commit adds a new action to the menu shown when a user clicks
longer on the item in a column. The new "Open Link" action allows a user
to directly open the link of the item, so that the details modal must
not be opened anymore to open the link.
Several widgets which where rendered within a modal bottom sheet didn't
used a `SafeArea` widget in the body of the `Scaffold` widget, so that
the action buttons on the bottom of the widget where not rendered in the
correct position.
Fix the naming of some files: Instead of login we are always using the
term sign in and already renamed the `DesktopLoginManager` to
`DesktopSignInManager` in #106. During the renaming we forgot to rename
the file which is now done.
We also renamed the `sign_in_with_apple.dart` file to
`signin_with_apple.dart`, because the other files also do not contain an
underscore between sign and in.
It is now possible to add and update sources via client side scraping.
For that a new edge function `add-or-update-source-v1` was added and the
old `add-source-v1` function was deprecated.
The new function accepts a new `feedData` field, which can contain the
feed for a source. If the field is provided we will not try to get the
feed for a source within our edge function and instead use the provided
data.
Currently this function is only used to add a Reddit source. Later we
plan to extend it for other sources and want to use it to update source
via the app, when the source provider makes heavy use of rate limiting.
Update the used Flutter version to 3.16.5 and the used packages to their
latest version.
The Supabase package contained some breaking changes:
- `functionUrl` is not exported anymore, so that it must be generated by
ourselfs
- `Provider` was renamed to `OAuthProvider`
- The `signInWithApple` method was removed and is now implemented by us
via the `sign_in_with_apple` package.
We also renamed the `DesktopLoginManager` to `DesktopSignInManager` to
use the same naming as in other places of the app, where we are always
using sign in and not login.
On the web the right click on an item to show the actions, doesn't work
properly, because the browsers right click menu will be shown first. So
it doesn't make sense to show also our right click menu.
If an RSS feed contains a video within the `attachments` field, the video
will now be added to the `options` field of the item. In the Flutter
code we then check if the video field is present in the options and show
the video instead of an image in the details view of the item.
This commit fixes the conversion of HTML to plain text in the
description for an item. Until now it could happen, that the there was
no whitespace between some words after the conversion. This is now fixed
so that there is always a whitespace between words in the plain text.
This commit adds two improvements to the `ItemVideoPlayer` widget. These
improvements are:
1. The padding for the widget is now defined within the widget, so that
is must not be defined in the parent widget. With this change the
widget follows the styling of our other widgets like `ItemMedia`.
2. On iOS the quality selection had a large bottom padding, this is now
fixed, by using a `Wrap` widget instead of a `ListView` like we are
using in the other modal bottom sheets which are showing some
actions.
This commit adds support to add Lemmy RSS feeds to FeedDeck. A user can
provide the url of an Lemmy instance, the url of a community or of an
user.
The special thing of the Lemmy source in opposite to the normal RSS
source is, that we parse the provided link form a feed item, to check if
it contains a image, video or YouTube url, to apply some special
formatting.
The index was not reset in the `DeckLayoutSmall` widget, when the user
selected a new deck in the settings widget. This was caused because the
`DefaultTabController` was not rebuild after a new deck was selected, so
that the `initialIndex` value was not used.
This is now fixed by adding a `key` to the `DefaultTabController`, which
corresponds to the selected deck. This means if the user selects a new
deck in the settings the widget will be rebuild and the initial selected
tab will be the first one. If a user selects the same deck or switches
between the small and large layout the tab will be the formerly selected
one.
This commit removes all blank lines in the item preview description, so
that we do not render a blank line as the last line. This was done to
improve the style of the item previews, which looked ugly when the last
line was a blank line.
Until now it was only possible to show the actions for an item by
pressing longer on the item. Now a user can also right click on the item
to display the actions which feels a bit more natural on desktop
devices.
On Windows and Linux it could happen that the audio playback for a
podcast wasn't stopped when the item details view for a podcast item was
closed.
This commit "fixes" the problem, by pausing the audio player, before the
widget is disposed.
This commit also fixes the condition when the background audio services
should be initialized in the `main.dart` file. Instead of the macOS
check, we checked for iOS twice.
This commit improves the displayed subtitle in the details view of an
item. For that we have adjusted the `ItemSubtitle` widget to diplay next
to the source title, author and publishing time an corresponding icon.
We also increased the space between the items and we are using a `|`
instead of a `/` as seperator.
Instead of defining the icons for a source only within the `SourceIcon`
widget, the icons are now defined as extension for the `FDSourceType`
enum. The background and foreground colors are also defined within the
enum now. This allows us to access the icon of a source outside of the
`SourceIcon` widget and we only have to touch the `source.dart` file
when adding a new source type.
This commit adds a new source type "pinterest", which can be used to
follow the post of an user or a board on Pinterest. To use the new
source type a user can select the "Pinterest" item in the add source
modal. In the form a user can provide the username or board he wants to
follow via FeedDeck.
In the corresponding Supabase function we then convert the input
provided by the user to an valid RSS feed url for Pinterest. This means
that we have to add `/feed.rss` for users and `.rss` for boards to the
Pinterest url.
Then we generate the source and items as for the other sources and reuse
the existing components to render the preview and details item. We had
to adjust the rendering logic for these items, to ignore empty values,
from which also other sources will benefit.
Users can now provide the URL of a website instead of the url of a RSS
feed via the input field for the RSS source.
This is possible because we are now trying to get and parse the RSS feed
for the provided url as usual, but if this operation fails, we try to
parse the text as html, so that we can check if it contains a
"<link type="application/rss+xml" href="RSS_FEED_URL">" tag. If this is
the case we are using this value to try to get and parse the RSS feed
again. If it fails again we are returning an error as before.
Update the used Flutter version to 3.16.0 and all Flutter packages to
their latest version.
This commit also fixes all of the newly added analysis options and the
layout changes introduced with the new Flutter version (e.g. we have to
set the "tabAlignment" property in the "TabBar" widget).
All our forms were submitable via enter except the forms used to add a
new source to a column. This is now changed so that also these forms can
be submitted by pressing enter in a text field.
This commit adds a custom cache manager "CustomCacheManager" which is
used in the "CachedNetworkImage" widget. The custom cache manager is
required, so that we can adjust the stale periode of cached images. By
default the package used 30 days as stale periode, but for our use case
7 days should be enough and we can reduce the storage used by the app.
Note: We also fixed the "run.sh" script to work with devices where the
name contains a space.
This commit improves / simplifies the media handling within the app.
Until now we always had to provide the type of the media file (item
media / source icon) when we wanted to display it. This is now not
necessary anymore. Instead we always display the image from it's
original path when the url starts with "http://" or "https://".
Additionally we also check the platform to proxy the image request on
the web. If the image doesn't start with "http://" or "https://" we
always try to display the image from the Supabase storage.
For this we also adjusted the corresponding Deno function, so that we
check if the image starts with "http://" or "https://" before we upload
it to the Supabase storage. If this is the case we upload the source
icon to the Supabase storage. If the upload fails, we will use the
original path of the icon.
Last but not least this commit also introduces our own
"CachedNetworkImage" widget, which wraps the original
"CachedNetworkImage" widget. Our own widget will ensure that we use the
correct url for the image request, so that we do not have to use this
function all over the app anymore. Later this widget can also be used to
introduce our own cache manager.
In the modal bottom sheet where a user can select the video quality the
dividers between the different qualities were missing. This commit adds
the missing divider, so that the modal bottom sheet looks similar to the
other modal bottom sheets we are using (e.g. sign out, account
settings).
The size of the modal bottom sheet to display images had always a max
width of 640px on large screens. This wasn't intended an the modal
bottom sheet should fill the whole screen. This is now fixed, so that
when a user clicks on an image in the details view of an item, the whole
screen is used to display the image.
It is now pissible to play YouTube videos on the native desktop clients.
To achieve this we removed the "youtube_player_iframe" package which was
used before to play YouTube video, but which only supported web, iOS and
Android as target platforms.
On the web we are now using our own implementation to render an iframe
with for the YouTube video.
On all other platforms we are now using the "youtube_explode_dart"
package to fetch the video urls for a YouTube video and then we display
them within our own video player (the "ItemVideoPlayer" widget which was
added in #51). We also decided to switch the package for the iOS and
Android implementation which already worked before, because we are now
able to play YouTube videos in fullscreen and we only have to maintain
an exception for the web implementation.
The "ItemVideoPlayer" widget now also supports multiple qualities of an
video via the "qualities" paramter, which allows a user to switch
between the different video qualities which are available for a YouTube
video. Last but not least the widget now uses our primary color for the
seek bar.
Until now a user was always signed out from all devices when he clicked
on the "Sign Out" button in the settings. Now we will display a actions
modal bottom sheet where a user can select if he wants to sign out from
the current device or from all devices.
For this we pass the [SignOutScope] to the "signOut" function of
Supabase. if the scope is "local" the user will be signed out from the
current device. If the scope is "global" the user will be signed out
from all devices.
This commit improves the handling of tabs in the samll deck layout. We
are now saving the selected tabs index in the newly added
"LayoutRepository" so that we can reuse the selected tab when a user
switches between the small and large layout. We can now also set the tab
which should be initially selected in the large layout when a user
selects a column in the navigation rail. Last but not least we can also
reset the initial tab index when a user selects a new deck in the
settings, so that we always display the first column instead of the
column with the same index as it was selected in the previous deck.
The items of an RSS feed are now rendered better, to achieve this we did
the following changes:
- Remove leading and trailing whitespaces from the item description
which should be rendered.
- Check if the media file of an item is an SVG image. If this is the
case we will not add it to the "media" field in the database, because
currently the CachedNetworkImage widget can not render SVGs. If we
want to render them, we run into serious performance issue so we skip
them completly.
- Always assume that the content of an RSS feed contains HTML and render
them as plain text in the preview and as markdown in the details.
Since we also render images from the description now, we check if the
"item.media" image should be rendered. If the description contains an
image we do not render our own image. If the description doesn't
contain a image we render it.
It is now possible to play videos from toots within FeedDeck. For that
we are using the "madia_kit" package, which is already used for the
Podcast player on Windows and Linux.
The videos from a toot are saved within the "options.videos" field of an
item next to the "options.media" field. In the "ItemDetailsMastodon"
widget we are then checking if this field is present and contains a list
of video urls. These urls can then be played via the "ItemVideos"
widget.
The cached items in the "ItemsRepositoryStore" are now cleared when a
user selects an active deck in the settings and when a user signes out
of the app.
This is done to force a reload of the items in a column, when a user
switches between decks. For me this works better because, when I switch
between decks I manually trigger a reload for all columns, which is now
not necessary anymore.
