@Geniusak Good request. To put it politely, sharing the same tab is amateurish AND slows the workflow.

I guess this feature request is done then, but I'm not sure how to mark it as such

@barbudo2005

This looks amazing, I'll check it out!

Thanks!

@mib2berlin makes sense to me if the unique selling point is a search database which is synced between devices. So regardless of which client has seen the full email body, every synced client finds / filters the email appropriately without necessarily having downloaded the message body.

I think this would be a great feature for cars in particular.

@Yaminoyuurei while Vivaldi does not have a mail app for Android/iOS, consider FairEmail. https://email.faircode.eu/

@Ayespy Thank you for your quick answer with the good prospect of rapid completion.

I just want to add to screenshots of

the actual font size of 12px (is it really 12 😕 ) in mail the actual font size of notes:

Quite a visible difference, right?

I'd like to also add that if the Mail and RSS messages are grouped together in "All Messages", there should be some sort of icon or text to indicate whether a message is Mail or RSS next to each message in the list.

There should be an "all mail" option that doesn't include RSS feeds.

The "why" is difficult to answer, quite philosophical. Maybe because nobody asked for it, or it was an oversight to implement it, or it should work but it doesn't. In any case, it's certainly worth noting that in the email panel, it's not easily possible.

Checking this out I realize that you can use the search field above the message list to filter the entire list of all your newsfeeds just as you can filter the messages within a specific newsfeed - but you can only save the search as a permanent filter in the specific feed, not when you search all feeds. The same is true for labels, mailing lists, etc. I have filed bug "VB-101645 [Mail] Can't save filter when searching in a full category (Feeds, Mailing Lists, Labels)" about this.

@mikeyb2001 please read the request again, I think you 've missed it entirely (or you don't use RSS at all) 🙂

@frisket
Hi, there were several similar requests over the years but this will not happen.
If you don't need feeds/calendar don't use it, it takes no resources.
You can remove the icons from the UI if you like.

Cheers, mib

@fatimatavery94 said in Needed features for Notes/Tasks/Reminders:

I know it's frustrating when the tools we need don't quite deliver.

I've been exploring online notes recently, and one feature that caught my eye is the ability to set notes to vanish after reading, which helps keep things private.
Regarding your needs, it sounds like having a seamless sync between desktop and mobile, along with robust task and reminder capabilities, is crucial. It's tough when apps like Vivaldi fall short on mobile functionality. Hopefully, developers catch onto these needs soon. In the meantime, experimenting with different tools might uncover a solution that fits your workflow.

Can I give two thumbs up?

@VulpesInculta
Hi, simply disable Feeds in the mail view:

@Pesala I think we just use RSS feeds in different ways. I use RSS feeds to notify me of new posts, upon which I expect to be able to open that post in a new browser tab as easily as possible. You seem to use RSS feeds such that you want the feed reader itself to present you with a digest of the post's contents and only in certain cases will you follow the feed to its original article.

So to me, what Vivaldi does with my RSS feeds is all essentially only navigation to the feed's webpage. Third-party extensions handle this navigation in a little popup from your toolbar, Vivaldi handles this navigation in an entire browser tab. That's what I meant by the little popup taking up less screen real estate.

See this quote from my OP for what I want: "Clicking on the RSS feed should expand the latest x articles below it while staying in the sidebar, and then I should be able to just click on one and open it."

A normal RSS Feed extension will provide this behavior, and I thought the goal of Vivaldi's integrated RSS feed feature would be to provide this same behavior but as a native browser feature.

@frisket said in Missing features (even in Premium) compared with Tbird:

Mail, Calendar, and Feeds are split so that I can use RSS Feeds without having to configure Mail

If you enable the productivity features, you do not have to set up the email client. You can just use RSS (and the Calendar if you wish). Right-click on the toolbar to remove the unwanted icon for mail (and calendar).

@mossman said in Link-based filtering of repeated feed items:

repopulate the feed index with the same news story every time the feed address is polled

i second [or third, fourth, whatevs] this irritating long-term bug, but would slightly finesse its symptom description in my case. i cannot say that it is every site & every poll, instead it just seems utterly random. sometimes i can go days or longer with it behaving, yet other times it just won't stop happening. also, i deliberately use the pejorative "necro-fetching" coz numerous times it's actually ancient items it goes & re-fetches, not only recent items. in my use-case anyway, it's nice when it behaves, but much of the time is just a damn PITA.

True - I shouldn't have implied that 100% of available articles are fetched 100% of the time.

For devs' reference, the Guardian news pages seem to repeat the most often in my experience.

I get the impression not many people use newsfeeds to browse more than a handful of articles a day, and even less like to use keyboard shortcuts for efficiency...

I've been making these points since the mail+feeds module was first released.

Oh - there's a new bug now as well... in the last few releases the number of unread feed articles is not displayed in the mail panel while you read articles unless you:

click the "feeds" category then click on a blank space in the mail panel only then click on an article in the list

Would be better to make feed reader compatible with major APIs like Inoreader and Feedly. Will solve even the no sync issue on Feed Reader.

@edwardp Thank you, I do appreciate it!

I think I do see @Pesala viewpoint that it risks adding too much complexity, too fast. Perhaps then we would want to focus on making it so that those users who do follow Tip suggesting that they add Vivaldi Tips to their RSS feed.

Ultimately, it would be nice just to have an easily navigable experience for the web page. There is no way to use the keyboard to jump to the next tip...
