[FR] Option to load lower quality thumbnails and limit cache size. #336

Open PRinceBhai opened 2 weeks ago

PRinceBhai commented 2 weeks ago

This app has been great so far, only caveat that I'd like to be fixed for the time being is adding an option to reduce the quality/resolution of the thumbnails loaded for articles/items. Because right on my mobile plan scrolling for a while eats up a lot of data and this app ends up accumulating 300-500MB cache in a day or two.

Adding a option to reduce it (especially on mobile data) would be really beneficial for me.

Thank you for making such a great app!

Hi,

One of the great advantages of this Application is that it displays photos in excellent quality! And I hope it stays that way.

I work a lot with photos, and their quality is very important.

On the other hand, for the cache problem you raised, it's easy to solve by going directly to Android settings, go to “Apps and Notifications”, select “FeedFlow”, go to “Storage”, click on “Clear Cache”.

Hello David. Could you please elaborate on how having an simple toggle on/off option to reduce thumbnails resolution/size would affect 'you'? As you can just leave it set to "off" since you need high quality thumbnails.

On the other hand, for the cache problem you raised, it's easy to solve by going directly to Android settings, go to “Apps and Notifications”, select “FeedFlow”, go to “Storage”, click on “Clear Cache”.

Also thank you so much for explaining me how to clear cache of an app in Android. I somehow didn't know even after using android for almost 13 years.
