New feature -- Load New Posts button in rivers #206

Open scripting opened 1 year ago

scripting commented 1 year ago

When viewing a river, when new items come in, rather than display them at the top of the timeline, we hold on to them in a queue and a button appears in the river that says "Load new posts." Click the button and the posts are loaded.

It doesn't matter if you have updates suspended (command in the Tools menu).

I did it this way because imho there was no good way to use the setting. This is the functionality social media apps have settled on (Twitter and Bluesky), and it's the right way to do it.

Changed the version to 0.5.3.

Screen shot.

BTW, if you've used the feature and it works, feel free to say so, or just Like the announcement. :smile:

I've spotted it a couple of times while editing my personal feed but I haven't caught it in action elsewhere yet.

@akaKenSmith -- that's interesting. it probably should not apply to your personal feed. hadn't thought of that.

A way to get it to show up -- when you're about to go away from your computer for a bit, leave it open to your news page. when you come back it's pretty likely it'll be there.

That worked. I stepped away from the news page for a minute and when i came back the popup was there.

Yes, clicking the popup loaded new content.

Just added code to make the Load New Posts button not show up on the Edit My Feed page.
