Hey Pawel,
it’s great to see the progress. A few comments to the menus:
Putting an ‘!’ as prefix in the feed’s name looks uncommon to me. Usually, readers indicate new elements using bold or italic fonts and / or an asterisk at the end - maybe in braces: Some Content or Some Content or Some Content * or Some Content (*)
In the menu I’d use the same “this is new" indication: I’d put an asterisk at the end or mark new entries with an asterisk. This looks much more consistent.
I think using an icon in front may be an interesting alternative - but only if every element gets one. I don’t like the tick to indicate that an article was already read that much because it visually makes them stand out - but actually those that were *not yet read* should stand out :-)
Is there a reason why the menus only show 3 elements? I think they should show all available elements (maybe with a max of 20). Three is too limiting IMHO.
Questions: Can you use bold fonts or colors in the menus? If so, I’d use this instead (but this may not work) Think about it whether asterisks are better than using an exclamation mark or ticks.
Best, Marcel
Hello,
here's another weekly report of the GSoC project 'News Feed'. Basiclly, most of the core of the project is done. It looks like this:
Preference page: <11273437_980150598683029_1555155299_n.jpg>
Notification popup: <11418198_980150635349692_1023393611_n.jpg>
It's displayed only if there has been polled new messages and user set it in preference page.
Menu:
<capture3.png>
It's displayed instead of Notification popup. It's displayed whenever user clicks on the orange RSS icon and it displays all feeds and its last 3 messages. There's an exclamation mark as a prefix for a feed that contains unread messages. Any message that has been read is marked is ticked.
What has been done last week:
Application logic has been reworked, there're a lot of changes. Now there's one simple job that schedules the right, PollFeedJob which
polls all feeds at once. The simple job is for control purposes and
testability. As you can see feeds are displayed in a menu instead of a popup. Popup shows only when there're new feeds polled and user has accepted it in preference page (you can't see in the image above, because change hasn't been merged yet). The RSS icon will be orange as long as there is any unread message. It turns grey when all messages has been marked as read.
What will be done next week:
As you can see there're a lot of changes, most of them still needs some small fixes and every need to be merged. Once it's achieved I'll work on next feature - let user manually add/remove feeds via preference page.
If somebody's interested in testing News Feed, please take a look at the update site http://download.eclipse.org/recommenders/updates/head/However remember, that not every change has been merged, so what you see here may be different from the version at the update site. Regards, Paweł
