Feed name on adding new feed #700

Open specter78 opened 5 years ago

Instead of showing Name (optional), the app should rather fetch the feed name and allow user to edit it.

Adding a vote for this issue. I had this same thought when I was adding several feeds today.

The problem is that it needs to actually find the feed before it can fetch its name — and it doesn’t look for the feed until you click the button.

Makes sense. Is there a way that the Safari extension (which is how I was adding feeds) could send the title of the page when it sends the feed URI to NetNewsWire ?

asked about this in Slack. @danielpunkass explained there wasn't an option at the time to grab the <title> from the URL but might be something that is doable now.

Gruber made good point that the <title> might be the post/page title so should grab from the the feed enclosure.
