Pocket Card changes: date, saves

[tspurway]

Let's add the link date, the number of saves and add the Pocket chevron button to save to your pocket account.

Friendly reminder, I think in the past w/ Pocket, we'd see some items without a date. I was trying to browse the returned data from https://getpocket.com/v3/firefox/global-recs?consumer_key=xyz and I only saw one suspicious looking result:

{
  id: 569,
  url: "https://pocket.co/sMTKmt",
  dedupe_url: "http://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/19/business/washington-post-digital-news.html",
  title: "Cookies are Not Accepted",
  excerpt: "We're sorry, we are not able to log you in Terms of Service | Privacy Policy",
  domain: "nytimes.com",
  image_src: false,
  published_timestamp: "0",
  sort_id: 11
},

So we may want to try checking for non-zero published_timestamp values before converting them to timestamps and displaying them.

Took a bit of scrolling, but managed to find one example on https://getpocket.com/explore/technology?src=ff_new_tab where the entry doesn't have a displayed date:

Working on a couple more revisions here based on our meeting with Pocket this morning. We discussed running the date label as an experiment, and need the "Trending" label needs to come back. Adding the "Save to Pocket" button is a nice-to-have based on the amount of work needed.

@emtwo @ncloudioj We want to launch an experiment with the date in the pocket story card.

@aaronrbenson Hi, there seems to be a new feature in the tiles to differentiate between "New" and "Trending". Can you share some background on this? We're wondering how we'd know what's "New"? Thanks.

[aaronrbenson]

@csadilek Yeah, the "new" context label would show trending items that are dated within the last 24 hours. This might help to clue people into more "breaking" stories vs. trending topics.

[csadilek]

Based on the discussion on Monday, the only planned task is adding the differentiation between "new" (< 24hrs) and "trending" tiles. Given we can get the "new" icon from @aaronrbenson, I think we can schedule this for the next release (Bridge of the River Kwai).

Note that some tiles don't have a publication date set when retrieved from Pocket's backend. Therefore these tiles will show up as "trending" and never as "new".

[csadilek]

If this feature is still desired and when the icon is ready the functionality is ready in this branch: https://github.com/csadilek/activity-stream/tree/2620

We're not doing this in the foreseeable future. Closing.
