From 34b663c6e75a2c360de154418dafb8f616b546a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Stone Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 20:37:41 +0000 Subject: Fix extraction regression on kottke; add Older view, mark-read-from-here - ReaderExtractor: the un-hide-before-extracting fix (for soft paywalls like West Hawaii Today) was unconditional -- it also un-hid normal, legitimately-collapsed chrome (kottke's footer/membership notice), which Readability then folded into the result alongside the real article. Reported live with a screenshot showing the extracted content wrapped in site footer boilerplate. Now tries the normal (hidden-respecting) pass first and only falls back to the un-hide pass if that came back thin (<500 chars), keeping whichever pass actually found more text. Verified live: the same kottke article now stays clean and stable (no delayed switch to the footer version). - New Unread/Older split: the default Unread view is now clamped to the last 72 hours (RECENT_WINDOW_MS); the rest of the unread backlog moved to a new "Older" view (new FeedListScreen row, ArticleDao.observeUnread now takes a cutoff, observeOlderUnread/observeUnreadCount/ observeOlderUnreadCount added). Undated articles are kept in the main Unread view rather than silently dropped from both. Verified live: 150 recent / 1172 older, summing to the prior combined total. - "Mark read from here": long-press an article row to mark it and everything older in that same filtered list as read in one batch (re-added ArticleDao.markReadBatch, this time as an explicit, confirmed action -- not the implicit on-scroll version that was reverted earlier). Verified live: confirmed a 147-article batch: the tapped article and older were marked read, newer ones above it were not. - BACKLOG.md: added a YouTube-embeds note (JS is off in the reader WebView, so embeds currently show broken -- rough shape is a tap-to-play thumbnail rather than turning JS on for third-party content). --- BACKLOG.md | 13 +++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+) (limited to 'BACKLOG.md') diff --git a/BACKLOG.md b/BACKLOG.md index 6e95f7b..49f20d0 100644 --- a/BACKLOG.md +++ b/BACKLOG.md @@ -34,3 +34,16 @@ relying on manual tagging carried over from another tool. - Out of scope for now: any automated "find where the author moved" logic — that's a manual research task when a feed's actually declared dead, not something to build detection for. + +## YouTube embeds + +**Motivation:** the reader's WebView runs with JavaScript off (feed/extracted +content never needs it, and it keeps articles from running arbitrary +scripts) — so a YouTube iframe embedded in an article currently just shows +as a broken/blank box instead of a playable video or thumbnail. + +**Rough shape (not yet built):** detect a YouTube iframe/embed URL in the +extracted or feed-provided HTML and swap it for a tap-to-play thumbnail +(image + play button) that opens the video in the YouTube app/browser on +tap, rather than trying to make the embed actually play inline (which would +mean turning JS back on for untrusted third-party content). -- cgit v1.2.3
