StreamSphere

Thank you but keep in mind that some comments are out of date as the application is constantly evolving

Thank you !

Thanks, I'll look into it

Thanks for the feedback. For whatever you want to do with supabase, I don't know. The application I made doesn't use instances, everything is local, even the parsing.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad to see that ux is appreciated. I agree that adding sources could be simplified, it's my least favorite part to implement and I notice it shows. For the Darkmode there is one, you need to press the 3 dots at the top right, select settings and then press the first parameter "Night Mode". However, I don't think it's a good idea to make it the default, as some people find it harder to read text written in white, and there's a lot of debate on the subject on which is better. For the button, I was inspired by other popular applications that also put a button there, if the button is too distracting, it can be hidden from the settings, it's the setting below "Night Mode" which is "Display Read-All Button" but indeed the Hamburger menu could be better exploited. If there's synchronization, you'll need an account, but you'll still be able to access the application even if you don't have an account. Synchronization also requires servers, so it would have a cost. The application should be profitable enough, so it's hard to envisage this feature at the moment.

Indeed, just maintaining it isn't very complicated, but finding features for which users would be willing to pay $10/month seems complicated to me, as the play store is very competitive.

I agree with you that finding a business model is difficult, but what motivates me at the moment to improve and maintain it is that I myself am a regular user of this application. I'm still thinking about it and that's why I'm still waiting to make the code open-source. Subscription is an idea, but I wonder what kind of features people would be willing to pay extra for? I don't want advertising, I think it degrades the application too much, or else voluntary advertising that users activate and in return receive money (like Brave does).

Yes, because later on, when I have topics in languages other than English, I plan to allow users to have a language filter that will display the topics and countries that correspond to the selected language. But at the moment, as I only have topics in English and news sources by country, I've kept this structure

I understand the problem, I'll think of a solution to facilitate this. I didn't notice as I know my application too well.

This is normal, at the moment only images (jpg, gifs...) are displayed in the feed. I've yet to add the ability to read other formats, like mp3 here in future update

The parser uses enclosures for images only. If you wish you can give me more details so I can see why (url ...)

Thanks for the feedbacks what tags are they missing?

Thanks for the feedback. In fact I hadn't worried about that because I thought that adding sources isn't something frequent even if it's a bit long at first and I thought that adding an "add source" button in the hamburger menu would be annoying since it wouldn't be used often.
