Review Feedback & Suggestion

[AniManuSCh]

I don´t know where to comment, so I will do it here

• The feed is coming with the posted message duplicated for some reason, so I get the same youtube video posted twice
• On Twitch it came without any thumbnail

Suggestions:

• I think you are already working on give a more user friendly way to see the tracked channels, that is great, I would suggest they also came numbered and with a link to them in order to easily go to them and check if they are really up to date so we can check there is no missing feed
  (may be a table like YAGPDB have and being able to directly edit/modify right from the cell:
  Columns examples:

• Number#
• YouTube Channel
• URLink
• Discord Channel for Videos
• On/Off
• Discord Channel for Shorts
• On/Off
• Discord Channel for Premieres
• On/Off
• Discord Channel for Lives
• On/Off
• Discord Channel for the YouTube Community Tab
• On/Off
• Last Feed (Posted) Date & Time
• Missed? (how many missed posts may be, this can be set according to just all content since added or ignoring the times (if any) when user paused a channel)
• Logs
• Posted posts (since channel added)
• Last channel contents since (to check/compare side by side if missing any / when you hit [see them] it loads the content of the channel since the date the channel was added and also at its side shows its matching posted posts in detail like kind of content, destination, time,etc, or if missing it will track the reason like it was paused at that time or if it was an error and it will give a button to then post it manually)
• Date & time channel was Added
• Time since added (to compare it with how youtube shows the published time)
• Run a Test
• Commit to edited changes
• Delete

(If the discord channel is none, then it is the same as having it turned off (Paused/Running) / References to check and get some ideas or inspiration on what to include that I might have missed:
https://monitorss.xyz/
https://mirror.bot/
https://notifyme.bot/
https://yagpdb.xyz/)

(Logs | Posts | Channel Updates | Missed? could be actually a single column where you can click on and it will take the date since the channel was added to load its contents since and compare it side by side with evey post message sent by the app, and if finds some that were not sent it will say the reason, like at this time/date you have the channel paused for and it will say the kind of content it was like videos or shorts, etc or that the discord channel was not set at the time or an error, etc, it also can give you a button to post that one manually, also the content could show some details like the kind of content it was and you can filter it using the diferent details that can came in handy like also se a range of time, etc)

• A way to edit a particular column and also test one or a bulk of channels at once (It might be from the same table, each channel would have the button Test, but also a check-box to apply to the ones marked with a check / might consider have a count of how many checked do you have so it will be helpful to notice or suspect at least that you might be having one checked that you don't really want or I do not know / this might also be usefull if it behaves or work the same as an excel or google spreadsheet with filtering, sorting and all)

This is a great job you're doing here. I really appreciate it, I got a little inspired with some ideas. Keep up the awesomeness, man!

Hi! Thanks for using Feedr and providing me with your feedback and suggestions (and waiting patiently for this, I know it's been a while)

Bugs

1.

The feed is coming with the posted message duplicated for some reason, so I get the same YouTube video posted twice

Known bug, has been fixed in the dev branch

2.

On Twitch it came without any thumbnail

Intentional design choice because the embed sucks and becomes very messy very quickly. I have an idea on how to improve the Twitch delivery experience, however it's not something that will be released in 2.0 (which is the next update)

Suggestions

This was interesting, but im just gonna split it down into what I understand and you can feel free to correct me where I'm wrong etc.

Community Posts ❌

Whilst not a direct suggestion/request, it is something that was included in the table. Community posts cannot come to Feedr as it's not officially supported in the YouTube API. It is possible using Innertube, however this is likely to get me IP banned from YouTube so it's not something I can officially support in the meantime

Improved /tracked command ✅

In V2, you will get the ability to track certain content types for YouTube (videos, shorts, live*) across your guild and this will be reflected in the command, like your table shows, all the channels etc.

(* = Mechanism to be improved alongside Twitch at a later update)

Splitting content types across discord channels 🤔

This was something discussed with other users of the bot and another contributor. This isn't something that is likely to be added as it adds another layer of complexity and fault points. Something to revisit in the future, but for now, won't be added to the pipeline

Seeing missed videos ❓

Our interaction with the YouTube API is designed specifically to reduce API quota usage. Adding in the ability to check missed videos goes against this design and will just mean that we have to process 50 times more requests. Furthermore, Feedr doesn't store video ID history to reduce processing speed, so it cannot just detect missed videos.

Proposal: /latest command

I have another project which is why the API for Feedr is written in Rust, so that it can be implemented easier when I bring that project into this one. This command will allow you to see the latest videos of any channel, which can let you see missed videos manually easier.

Audit logs ✅

In one of the screenshots, you have what looks to be a design of a audit log? Something that is being worked on, however it won't be that detailed

Modifying data ✅

Not worked on right now, but there will be ability to switch channels via a command (I'm not very experienced with components, so it's going to take a while)

Delete? ✅

/untrack exists, but this flow is being redesigned

Pausing notifications ✅

Not in the pipelines right now, will look into that for a future update

The other stuff

I know I didn't address everything, but what I talked about is what I made sense of and could understand. Hopefully my response is sufficient

Emoji Legend

❌ = Not Implementable
✅ = Will be implemented/addressed soon
🤔 = To consider
❓ = Read proposal

Awesome! Your project inspired me and how committed you seem to be with it that I was just throwing ideas there out of exitment.
Actually I think the second column I suggested is not necesary since it would have been just to compare whether if the item can be found in the channel or channels where the app is running and only from when it was set, so it does not have to scan the entire channel history,

and yeah your suggestion of the last 5 videos sound pretty good.
I'm pretty exited to see v2.
Amazing!!!
