Feature Request: Ability to import (Favorite) Articles by URL #1376

Closed Saijin-Naib closed 10 months ago

Saijin-Naib commented 10 months ago

Finding a common import/export format for favorite/starred articles, even with OPML, seems to be nigh on impossible, especially when moving between services/apps.

To that end, I would love to be able to manually import articles via URL share (like Handy Reader) so I may move my years-old local-only list of favorite articles into NextCloud News (even if only one-by-one).

Same goes for articles in Liferea on my Linux machines and NewsFlow on my Windows ones.

Only other path I see forward is trying to hack together a working file for the JSON import file for NextCloud News server app manually.

I believe this would be something that would need to be done on the server side since this app only stores a subset of articles and synchronizes the read/unread/starred/unstarred state with the server (without the ability to add new articles). Maybe it's already possible to import single articles through some cli commands there. Maybe you can open an issue in the repo for the server app https://github.com/nextcloud/news/issues

Makes sense! I'll take a look there, thanks.
