[Request] More compact layout #114

Open GLLM opened 3 years ago

GLLM commented 3 years ago

Hi !

Readrops is great but I'd love to have a little more compact layout :

Is it something that could be done ? Or at least bits by bits, to help the user customize his UI to his liking ?

Thanks GLLM

why display the folder name when you are reading a folder .... it loses some screen estate while the folder name is already displayed atop the screen

Well, the folder name displayed in the top bar was added in 1.3 and I didn't tweak the layout to be more consistent (it wasn´t my priority).

more compact articles in article list

Apart from the folder name, I think the current item layout is pretty small, especially for FreshRSS and Nextcloud News accounts.

For the reading screen?

have a little more compact list of folders/feeds (as seen when swiping from the left border of the screen).

If you talk about the folders/feeds management screen, I don't think I could make it more compact apart from removing margins.

Overall, I'm not satisfied with the current design of Readrops, which could be really better. I would like it to fully follow Material Design guidelines, but I'm not a UI/UX designer, so it will be hard to do better.

Please, right now it's too small, I like to read with a bigger font.

Also do prefer a more compact layout. For said reasons, and another one:
I don't want (non-rss-server) external http requests to be done while just browsing the list of articles. Currently if you browse through the lists it makes loads of requests to fetch header images. I actually don't want/need such image.

Favicon is something different (and is totally fine) - it is usually from the rss-server, or is at least cached.

Example from tt-rss app, which compact layout I have been happy with for ~ 10 years now:
