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.
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.
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.
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.
This commit fixes two bugs within the Podcast player.
It could happen that the play time and remaining time was not shown
correctly in the player. This mainly occured in Safari and is now fixed
by not using a regular expression to show the time, but instead we have
added a new "_printDuration" function which handles the formatting of
the durations.
Not only, but mainly on Safari it could also happen, that once a Podcast
was started and then paused, the loading spinner was displayed and a
user could not continue with the Podcast. This is now fixed, by removing
the spinner and only show the play, pause or replay button. As loading
indication we are now only using the seek bar.
Last but not least this commit also improves the readability of the
code, for parsing the icon of a Podcast feed.
- Adjust "Release" section in contributing guide.
- Disable "X" datasource, since it is not working after the latest API
adjustments.
- Update "version" key and "msix_config.msix_version" key in
"pubspec.yaml" file.
- Change user in "AddSourceReddit" widget help text.
- Enable macOS App Sandbox.
- Adjust logo for Windows version.
Improve the media handling within the app. We do not save the media
files for items to the Supabase storage anymore. The source icons are
now only saved in the Supabase storage, the usage of an url as source
icon is not possible anymore.
The media files for items are directly retrieved from the corresponding
url or for the web version from the "image-proxy-v1" Supabase function.
If the image is retireved from the Supabase function we cache the image
in the browser via the cache control headers. If the image is directly
retrieved from it's url it's cached by the "CachedNetworkImage" widget.
Instead of rendering the images for a Nitter item within the description
in the details view, we are now rendering the images via the
"ItemMediaGallery" widget. To not render the images twice, we also added
the "disableImages" paramter to the "ItemDescription" widget, to not
render the images in the widget.
