Web app re-design wishlist

[lemon24]

As reader got new features, the web app has accreted a lot of UI clutter compared to when I first planned it; as mentioned in the roadmap, a re-design is inevitable.

This issue is to collect issues / features, in the hope that they may be easier to address in the re-design.

If you have any suggestions, please add them in a comment.

Here are some from me (a lot of them can be handled via plugins):

• Suggest to add tags (from the existing ones) after adding a feed.
• Allow using preview_feed_list to find a new feed URL (and switch to it) when the old one goes 404.
• Notify about broken feeds in some way and suggest a resolution.
• Share links (Reddit, HN, etc.).
• Better plugin integration; at the very least, it should be possible to add plugin tags with example values by clicking something.
  • E.g. single-click dedupe entries by title.
• Dark mode.
• Also show summary on the entry page #130
• ?limit= should persist when navigating away from the entries page #151
• Web app mobile usability improvements #304
  • By default, only show commonly used filters: has enclosures (unread), important (all, unread), read (unread), random (unread). For these views, show (cached) counts.
• Web app: search entry #313
• (maybe) Broken titles #121
• Alternate default view (e.g. to only include entries from feeds tagged with main, or only up to the previous midnight – so entries appear to update once a day, as with Get entries added before #314).
• Metadata edit page for .mark-as-read shows a list of matching titles.
  • Better still, suggest rules based on n-grams of don't care entries.
• Hovering feed title (anywhere) should show either (non-user) title, or subtitle, or both.
• Offline articles (using service workers or some such).
