Suggestions: Sync time reduction, Themes & custom settings for each webpage #16

I really like the the design and layout of the app. Here are a few suggestions I think will make the app even better!

  1. Add an option to reduce the interval between syncs from 15 minutes to 5 minutes. (5 - 10 - 15 - 30 - 60 and so on)

  1. Add a black/OLED friendly theme (i.e. pure black background) with an option to set solid colors for headers of the link

  2. Customizable background sync settings for each app. Letting the user choose which webpages teed to be synced less often or in what circumstances..

    Thank you for your awesome app (:+1: )

Hi, Zack. Thanks for your feedback!

As for your questions:

  1. Android's official minimum interval is 15 minutes. There is a way to reduce even more, but since WoekManager is still on alpha and Android P is going to be released in two weeks (which is going to change how a lot of background things work), I am going to wait a bit more until this is implemented.

  2. This is/was one of the app issues on github. I currently have no time to do it, but contributions are welcome.

  3. This is also a bit hard, since currently there is only one work task that refreshes everything. There are some limitations on doing what you suggested, like a maximum of 100 tasks. It is, however, improbable most users will ever monitor more than 100 pages. Contributions are welcome; this is not a simple task, but eventually I might fix it.

Is there an update on minimum interval? I'd like to even go down to 10 seconds or less if possible. Thanks

Not yet. I have a prototype kind of working, but still need some touches before it's released.

Hi @bernaferrari, I would need an interval for 5 minutes instead of 15 minutes. Is this possible somehow? It's been 4 years. I'd be nice to hear back from you. :)
