Preview: how to handle multiple feeds? #26

Closed sknebel closed 6 years ago

sknebel commented 6 years ago

Pages often advertise multiple feeds (especially with RSS/Atom), and a microsub server might want to give the user a preview/choice of all of them before one is picked to subscribe to.

Examples: category pages offering both a feed for the category and the overall site, or permalinks offering the overall site and the comments on the page.

First idea: The preview call for a URL could either return a list of timelines, or just a list of URLs with titles (if given in e.g. the <link> tags referencing the feeds) and let the client pick which timeline to actually fetch.

This is handled with the search action already, although could probably use some improvement. Here's what it looks like in Together:

Oops, somehow had search filed unter content search, not this. Confusing name IMHO, but I guess the functionality is there. Sorry for the noise.
