Fetch more articles for current feed or category

[Alkarex]

In the GReader API, it is possible to fetch articles for a given feed or for a given category.
This is especially useful when there are many articles on the server (more than what the app is fetching) and the user wants to fetch older articles for a given feed or category.

So in the CapyReader app, it would be nice if the "pull to refresh" feature, when done from within a feed or a category, would fetch articles from that feed or category.

I can give more details if this is not clear enough, and do not hesitate to ask for help on back-end side (FreshRSS).

@Alkarex I've added functionality for this in the latest dev release, https://github.com/jocmp/capyreader/releases/tag/2024.12.1080-dev. Let me know if this is working as expected!

Hello,
I am glad to see that you are progressing :-)
Are you sure it is the "Fetch more articles for current feed or category" feature, you have added?
Maybe confused with:

• Fetch read articles #564

Quick test on a feed that has plenty of entries on the server, but not so many recently, in view all articles modes.
I initially have two articles on that view, scroll to refresh, many (big) requests are made (could be improved), but no request that I can see is filtered on that feed. No new articles appear, unfortunately. Here is a log below, and let me know if you like more feedback.

hey @Alkarex - I posted to the wrong thread, thanks for following up in the other one. I haven't started work on this "Fetch more" but I'll track it via #574.

In both this case and the "read" case the "Pull to Refresh" currently refreshes all feeds as you've noted. Initially I did this to avoid the complexity of passing conditional logic to the refresh task, but as you note that comes with a performance hit. I'll track that via #575.
