A couple of ideas #34

Hi,

I came across your program on r/commandline and really liked what I saw in the demo, so I decided to install and try it out.

Here's a small list of things I would like to see added, if possible:

  • A system of hints to follow links (similar to qutebrowser), maybe rebind forward to C-f and use f to bring up the hint menu? (mentioned in Open links in browser  #8 )

  • A search option (keybind: /)

  • More powerful ways of organizing feeds: categories, subcategories, tags... (Filtering #4 mentioned categories, although I didn't see they mentioned in the help menu, nor in the documentation/readme)

  • Ability to download the complete article (already mentioned in Unable to read individual articles for Atom and RSS 1.0 feeds #10), maybe take inspiration from other readers that already do this like newsboat? Maybe using something like https://txtify.it/ and its api?

Sadly quite a few feeds only display a really short 1 paragraph description of the content instead of the actual content itself.

  • Expanding on Add macro capability similar to newsboat #9, maybe add the ability to set default programs for certain categories/tags, for example, if I open an article tagged "Video" or "Youtube" it automatically opens up mpv.

  • A way to (bulk)mark articles as (un)read along with the option to hide read articles/empty categories by default.

I'm quite new to github, so if you'd prefer me to comment on the other issues or create individual ones for each idea, feel free to tell me!
