fox-rss's Issues

Attempt to invoke virtual method 'int java.lang.String.length()' on a null object reference

After adding a RSS https://medium.com/feed/androiddevelopers and going back to the articles tab, the app crashes with the following trace:

2021-04-14 16:45:07.436 15274-15274/com.pigeoff.rss E/RecyclerView: No adapter attached; skipping layout

Release on fdroid

Thanks for this awesome material design rss feed app. If possible, then I request developer to please release this app of fdroid store also (it's where many opensource android apps are)

Adding Nextcloud RSS support

Basically, Nextcloud has a RSS reader service. It would be amazing if the app would he able to support it in order to expand its usage base.There is an existing API that can be leveraged.

Extra information can be found here:

Either way, thank you for the app!

Add outstanding-number-of-articles counter

Love the app!
Small feature request: it would be great to have a small counter somewhere on the article screen which displays the number of articles you still have to swipe on.
If you have 5 outstanding articles and you swipe on the current one then the counter should decrease from 5 -> 4.

[Feature] add support for theoldreader.com RSS service

https://theoldreader.com/ is a nice RSS service. Would be great to have support for it in Fox-RSS.

Material Design 3 / You

Hi, just found the app on F-Droid, it's really awesome, I had 2 wishes for the app, dark mode and material design 3 / you, but I saw you already thought of the most important one.
I think material design 3 / you would be a nice upgrade so would be really cool if you could implement that :)

Is Fox RSS still maintained?

I just found this wonderful RSS Reader that makes reading RSS fun and addictive, but it lacks some features, and it hasn't been updated for a few months, is it still maintained?

[Feature Request]Add night/dark mode

Really liked this app, but it seem to have no night/dark mode, would be perfect to add it.
Edit:
It seem to be already implemented? But my phone doesn't have global night mode.

Support Atom Feeds

It would be nice to support Atom feeds. Currently, they are accepted but no data is read from them. I'm guessing that we check that the link is XML and assume it is RSS? That's probably bad behaviour. If it is, it deserves its own issue.

For a sample feed, you might use The Monero Standard.

Project Translation

I've seen OSS projects use these sites for translation purpose

• Crowdin
• Transifex
• Weblate

I think Weblate is better as it's opensource.

Add opt-in tracking

Izzydroid currently displays a warning because the app is sending logs without explicit permission or even notice, would be nice if you could add a prompt asking the user if they want to send the information to you / a notice

Support JSON Feed

It would be nice to support JSON Feed.

For a sample feed, you might use The Monero Standard.

Question!

Does the app have a future to-do list? The most extraordinary rss reader I've ever seen, but it's missing a lot of features..

opml import

Hi,

Amazing app to read in another way rss feed. My question is : is it possible to consider opml import in the next versions of Fox-RSS ? I have around a hundred of rss feed and i cannot import them one by one.

Once again great work
Thanks
Antoine
