Add option to fetch full articles during sync for offline reading #734

Open andreyorst opened 2 weeks ago

andreyorst commented 2 weeks ago

Hello!

I have a limited amount of cellular traffic on my phone, so I'd like to pre-fetch articles while I'm at home and read them later when I'm on the go without internet access. Currently, it seems that there's no such thing unless I manually open all articles I'm interested in, but then again - the media in the articles doesn't always show up.

Note: This will increase the feed adding and syncing time, as it needs to fetch the entire article along with the feed.

Personally, I'm OK with that. The other feed reader I've been using before fetches the list first, and then downloads each article individually as it seems, or in small batches.

Maybe, have this as an option, toggled off by default?

Oh yeah, this was just a note for me when I pick it up for development.
