Option to hide the duplicate title present in description #186

Open P0bo opened 3 months ago

Some websites provide article titles twice, once in the title and once in the description with some extra info, which, while browsing, is quite annoying to see the same title. Some RSS clients, for example, Feedly, remove the duplicate title from the description. Below is the visual representation of how Feedly handles it and how FeedFlow handles it.

The white text is the title, and the greyed text is the description. Screenshot_2024-04-10-02-42-22-74_14f923dba7aa743f2820ba9cc8abb3d9

Another problem that happens because of that is I get so many feed updates a day (and so many titles are the same). I have to distinguish most of them from the description, which becomes quite tiring and distracting when there are the same names in the description and title.

I have 4 work feeds which do the same (I can't share the feed link), but this above example is from this site https://nyaa.land/?page=rss.

If the app introduces the option to hide the duplicate titles, that would be really helpful. My work involves a lot of moving, so I only have access to my tablet (and phone) while working, and I don't really have the option of having a browser tab of Feedly open all the time. One of the only truly minimal apps that support tablet UI is FeedFlow. I tried other apps too, but none have the option to hide duplicate titles, including FeedFlow, but this had the best UI.

I greatly thank you for making this great app. This has been my main RSS reader for the last 4 months, and has saved me a lot of time.

Please look at the issue. This will really help me do my work more efficiently and possibly save so much time for those who also have subscribed to similar feeds.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the nice words! I didn't know about such cases, thanks for reporting it! I will definitely look into it for the future releases
