Reddit and Nitter are heavlily rate limited from time to time, to not
effect our premium users, by these limits, we decided to increase the
interval in which the Reddit and Nitter sources are updated for users
which are on the free tier.
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.
Until now we always displayed the same feature images on the landing
page and it didn't matter if the user was on a desktop or mobile device.
This is now changed so that we display different images on mobile
devices (depending on the screen resolution).
Besides that we also moved the deprecated `themeColor` from the
`Metadata` to the `Viewport` and added it to all pages.
Last but not least we added some missing Android icons, which were
referenced in the `manifest.json` file, but where the icon didn't exist.
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.
Until now we had to manually build the app for Linux arm64 when we
created a new release. Now we are using ubicloud and the
`ubicloud-standard-2-arm` GitHub Action runner to build the app for
Linux arm64.
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.
We do not remove HTML tags from the description of a RSS feed item
anymore, because:
- This didn't worked for all feeds, because we first removed the tags
and then unescape the data, which didn't make sense
- We render the HTML to Makrdown in the frontend so that the description
can contain HTML tags and is still properly rendered and in some case
better rendered then before
The log level is now configurable, via the `FEEDDECK_LOG_LEVEL`
environment variable. The environment variable can have the following
values: `debug`, `info`, `warning` or `error`.
With this change we also only log the response when getting and parsing
the feed fails when the log level is set to `debug`, also when the
actual message is still an error. This should reduce the noice in the
logs a lot and allows us to specially turn this on while debugging.
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.
Add an icon for Lemmy to the landing page. The new `lemmy` source type
was added in #94 and is now also added to the landing page for the next
release which should happen very soon.
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.
This commit refactors the existing tools, by moving the tools logic to a
new `tools.ts` file, so that the main `cmd.ts` file remains clear.
Besides that we also add a new tool `get-feed` which can be used to run
the `getFeed` function from the command line. The function is called
with a source and returns the generated source and items, as they are
saved in the database by the `add-source-v1` Supabase edge function.
This commit improve the error handling for the edge function to add a
new source and the worker, so that we get more insights why a request
fails. A user will now also get a more detailed error why a source could
not be added.
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 updates all used Deno modules to their latest version.
Since some of the used modules / functions were deprecated we had to
adjust our encrypt / descrypt functions and the generation of the source
and item ids, where we have to use a new md5 function.
Until now we only checked if a website contained a RSS feed which can be
used for FeedDeck. Now we are also checking if the website contains a
Atom or RDF feed when no RSS feed was found.
For this we are checking `link` tag with the `type="application/atom+xml"`
attribute or a link tag with the `type="application/rdf+xml"` attribute.
This commit adds tests for all available sources.
This commit also fixes the parsing of Atom feeds for the RSS source,
where the `dc:date` field must be used for the `publishedAt` field.
This commit uses the "Continuous Integration" GitHub Action, to run
tests for the Deno code, which is used by the Supabase functions and our
Docker containers.
This commit also adds a first test so that the `deno test` command does
not fail.
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.
