Fuoten is the successor of ocNews, and as ocNews, it is a client for the ownCloud/Nextcloud News App. There is currently no optimized UI for tablets, so the current version only supports phones. This is now also available at the Jolla Store as the same version.

  • Folder list and folder management (add, delete, mark as read)
  • Feed list and feed management (add, delete, move, mark as read)
  • Article list and article management (mark as read/unread, star/unstar)
  • Article content view (internal, webview or external browser)

  • Url sharing
  • Pseudo background updates

I maybe found the issue. I had a similar issue today in my dev version with one entry from Planet KDE that has a NULL url. The url was empty but was handled by SQLite as NULL value and that is currently not allowed in my implementation. I think I will release new version tomorrow. If that does not fix your issue I will come back to your offer of a test account. :)

Sounds great, thank you for your efforts. Planet KDE is also in my subscriptions. Maybe that's it, or another feed did similar.

I have the same Problem with Fuoten 0.7.0 on Nextcloud 20.0.1 (and 20.0.0) wich News 15.0.6 (and previous 15.0.x versions). Some other Newsreader apps seem to have similar problems with the News 15 Version as can be seen on the issue tracker.

Please try Fuoten 0.7.1. That should fix the issue. Problem was, that News App API changed returned data types in the JSON response but did not document the change, see also nextcloud/news/issues/900.

On 3.4 (and with Nc 20), Fuoten fails to get new news items. I don't see any logs that would indicate something is wrong. The news API works and returns new items.

I now tested it with SFOS 3.4 but NC 19 and there it works like expected. I will setup a NC test server with 20 to check if there are issues. But having a look at the last commits of th NC News app, there seem to be no changes regarding API stuff etc.

Hi Buschtrommel. Your app looks very promising, but I get a server error when trying to update an RSS feed. It doesn't really sprint anything in cli except:

[C] 07:01:33:277: ServerError: Internal server error — An unexpected condition was encountered on the server.

Hey tanghus, what do you mean by „update an RSS feed“? Requesting new articles or changing name/folder? The error messag is for HTTP response status code 500. There are no more inforamtion available in the API. Only the HTTP status codes. So it is not possible for Fuoten to give more information.

I just noticed that Fuoten doesn't sort the articles according to the creation time of the article, but according to the synchronization time. This is useless if you only synchronize manually and then have a lot of articles per feed.

Sorry for this late answer. Fuoten only stores the publication dates returned by the new app API. Sync times are not stored. It might be that the feed has no valid publication dates and that the news app fills them with the time when it updates the feed.

Great app!!!

I suggest an option:  when I select "mark as read /unread" from pull-down menu, I'd like fuoten goes back to the previous page (pagestack.navigateBack). Thanks a lot.

Hello Buschtrommel,

what do you think of the following feature:

Mark a feed as "Very Important". Contents of this feeds are always displayed at the top until they are read or scrolled away.

This would prevent particularly interesting feeds from getting lost in the mass of news. If you view/read chronologically.

Do you mean in the all articles/complete folder views? There is currently the sticky bit for feeds, but it is only changeable via web interface because there is no API route for it. But it only show the feed itself in front of other feeds. I could use this to also show the items in front of the rest. But it would not be setable from the app. Otherwise I could only implent it in the app but that would not be reflected on the server. At least it doesn't matter which approach I use, it would not be synchronizable. :) So, what do you think would be the better approach?

I read exclusively in the app and would be happy about this function in the app.
Many thanks in advance

+1 for "mark as read once you scroll past them"

I am migrating away from Google and have installed NextCloud News for my current 161 feed subscriptions. Since the Google Reader was switched off in 2013, I've been using Feedly with Google Log-in.
Actually I wanted to install Tiny Tiny RSS Server, but your client looks better than the "Tiny Tiny RSS Reader for Jolla" ;-)

Danke & Weiter so!

Great application! Thank you very much for it! Works very well on my Xperia X Compact with Sailfish 3.0.0.8 in conjunction with Nextcloud 14.
Three things: First, dates aren't all properly displayed for me "libfuoten-yesterday". Second, would it be possible to add scroll tracking, so articles get marked as read once you scroll past them? Third, on the X Compact text in portrait mode in the "All Articles" view is displayed wider than the display.

Thank you that you like it. :)

To the first: What language are you using? What language has been set in the Fuoten settings? Not all languages are completely translated. But normally than the English string should be shown.

To the second: Nice idea. Will implement something like this.

To the third: Can you upload a screenshot somewhere? On my Jolla and on my Xperia X, all looks as it should.

I'm using "English (UK)" as my OS language. Fuoten has set the language to "Default". The date issue can also be seen on the screenshots I've taken of the third issue from my two X Compacts running Sailfish 3.0.0.8 (the third one happens in all views, e. g. All articles, Starred articles, and with different RSS feeds, but only in portrait mode: https://imgur.com/a/mLECRBb

I hope they illustrate the issue well ... ;)

I am also happy to hear that you like the idea of scroll tracking! This will make reading news on Sailfish even more enjoyable than it already is!
