Reorganize reader application/service selection #62

Open einkoro opened 3 years ago

The list of applications and services is getting a bit long plus telling the difference between an app and a web service with the same name is confusing.

Ideally this could be changed into a two step selection. First the user is presented with a drop down choice between: desktop applications, web services, custom/self hosted or copy to clipboard. Secondly for applications or web services present a list of the available ones to choose from much like we already do. For custom / self hosted present the current text input for the URL. We should probably validate it for the placeholder string and present some guidance here as well.

Alternatively instead of the drop down menus we could do something iOS settings menus with the list of options split into groups with the checkmark. Sorta like the VPN list from iOS under general but with a selection rather than toggle above it for app/web/etc?

We should also update the custom URL option’s input field to validate for the feed URI placeholder, a otherwise valid URL, and show some help information such as the placeholder being required.
