Add pagination #9

Open bpas247 opened 5 years ago

bpas247 commented 5 years ago

The homepage is currently getting quite long.

We should consider dividing the feed into multiple pages, each page with 50 entries.

Bootstrap supports a pagination component, so we should consider using that in the template.

IIRC, we are only pulling the 50 most recent posts in the database in the sqlite3 query, but the page does have a tendency to get pretty long. would it be better to:

give the option to browse the entire post history and paginate them
limit the display to only 25 posts
or just paginate the 50 posts we are currently retrieving

bpas247 commented 5 years ago

give the option to browse the entire post history and paginate them

This seems the more appropriate way of handling it. We could also add an option to the upcoming settings page that will allow the user to customize how many posts her page they would like to see (or just add functionality somewhere on the homepage)
