Config management #4

Open rhysd opened 7 years ago

rhysd commented 7 years ago

Currently we need to write up configuration directly in JSON file. However, in some cases, it's hard.

So it's better to add config window rather than writing JSON file directly. I'll try json-editor to add UI with maintaining current JSON format.

+1 this would be really cool as for example for me my account array look like this :+1: "accounts": [ { "name": "rmdes", "host": "mastodon.indie.host", "default_page": "/web/timelines/home" }, { "name": "rmdes", "host": "mastodon.brussels", "default_page": "/web/timelines/home" } ], And i'm really not sure if this is correct or not, it doesnt seem to be since I don't see any dropdown with multi account anywhere...

For now, I think it would be good to indicate how to fill in the account data, for example, if the name requires the @ and if the host requires https: // or not. Just happened to me when I filled the host field with the prefix https: //, then when I started the app window was left blank.

Thank you for comments! Yes, you're right. I think I should describe how to add accounts to usage section.

I can confirm it works by doing it like this , just add a ',' after the first block copy it entirely, add new mastodon instance, make sure that block does not finish with a ','

done !

"accounts": [ { "name": "rmdes", "host": "mastodon.indie.host", "default_page": "/web/timelines/home" },

{ "name": "rmdes", "host": "mastodon.brussels", "default_page": "/web/timelines/home" } ],
