Configure reddit stream

[saro]

Hello,

Thanks for this integration App. I would like to know if there is a way to configure the Dashboard element to display different type of streams like hot. It would also be nice to be able to restrict the sub displayed.

If not, I wonder if this could be considered for future versions of the app.

Thanks for the feature suggestion.

I would like to know if there is a way to configure the Dashboard element to display different type of streams like hot.

This could be implemented if the Reddit API allows getting such stream. I'll check this out one day :grin:.

It would also be nice to be able to restrict the sub displayed.

This could be done too.

If all those settings have an effect on the one existing widget, it's relatively easy and quick to implement. It would be much harder to let users configure as many widgets as they want.

I might dive into that when I find some time. In the meantime, I'm very open to pull requests on this topic.

Hi @eneiluj

Thanks for your reply.

This could be implemented if the Reddit API allows getting such stream. I'll check this out one day 😁.

I expect this to be somehow possible as my not-official reddit client is able to get the streams selectively.

If all those settings have an effect on the one existing widget, it's relatively easy and quick to implement.

I was thinking that this could just like setting for a single widget, at least that is what I would already be very happy with.

I would be more than happy to help but unfortunately my JS knowledge is just not there :/ If you can give me an hint on how this application is actually reaching to reddit I may start to look at the API usage and do some experiments myself.

Also, what's the best way to test my changes? Do I risk to bring down the whole NC dashboard if something goes wrong?

Filtering would indeed be VERY useful! I'm member in a few communities but I only ever see items from /r/blender in the newsfeed because that's a high-volume/high-frequency subreddit while my other memberships are rather low-freq.
