[Feature] Allow user to perform initial synchronization #143

Open roukydesbois opened 2 years ago

roukydesbois commented 2 years ago

This is a workaround for the feature to have a "perfect" synchronization with FreshRSS (today Readrops only retrieves new articles, and not the read state).

It would be useful to have a way to perform the initial synchronization at will: it would drop the locally saved content of Readrops and retrieve only the unread articles.

It solves the case when:

It is at the expense of losing all locally saved content, but this content is still available online, and a warning message asking confirmation to lose all locally saved articles could mitigate this.

Amd I guess it's easier and faster to implement than the read state sync, with equivalent value for the user :)
