Now that Gnome has notification grouping, what is your opinion regarding apps sending separate notifications for different information sources?
In the case of Newsflash this would mean 1 notification per feed and would also make it possible for the user to mute specific feeds from sending notifications.

Finally got around to tagging and releasing my side project of last year to flathub. It's pretty basic at the moment. But hopefully it's already useful to someone.

@nprofile…kx6t @nprofile…uj9a @nprofile…jw3u It still boots into UbiBoot (had Sailfish OS dualboot setup). But won't boot the OS. Maybe it just needs to be re-flashed. The offer is still standing, but I'm not sure if it can be convinced to boot or if something is actually broken.

@nprofile…kx6t @nprofile…uj9a I have one here. It has seen better days. But it was my first smartphone and heavily used. I can check if its still working and if so figure out how to get it into your hands :)

Newsflash 3.3.3 (and .4)
This one is for all the Local RSS enjoyers out there:
- use etags to skip downloading unchanged feeds
- avoid writing unchanged RSS 2.0 feeds to disk (feed-rs fix)
- handle articles that are published by multiple feeds with the exact same GUID (e.g. planet gnome)

I released version 3.3.1 of Newsflash. It brings
- MPRIS support for video playback
- zoom controls in the article menu
- less memory/cpu by caching Gdk Textures instead of the raw encoded data of favicons
- a few fixes here and there
