I like this idea and I know that AntennaPod (podcast app) has this feature and I like it. I guess it would not be too complicated to implement but as you might have noticed we have some annoying bugs. So don't expect it to be implemented soon :) |

I'd love to review a pull request for this feature. |

Now that you mention it I think iTunes has this feature for podcasts as well. Didn't think of that. |

I think the approach is pretty clunky for the actual use case. Also we already get a lot of issues why feeds are not updated, this will add to the complication. IMHO there's nothing inherently bad with articles piling up, you can freely choose to ignore them. What's already working today is that you simply move them to a "high frequency" folder that you keep collapsed until you are interested in checking it. Another useful thing that could be added would be to allow you to mark articles as read based on a date (mark everything as read prior to 24. february 2019). That would allow you to make a quick cut off once you decide to check the high frequency feeds again. |

Then the "All articles" entry doesn't make sense, because you have to skip articles from feeds you don't want to read right now. I have a couple of feeds where the URL has changed, but I had to keep the old ones to keep my starred entries. A while ago these feeds started popping up again with articles from different sites. A "do not disturb" or "do not update" option would be really helpful. |

I don't know about you guys, but the more I think about this I believe this would be a killer feature, as it would not only allow to choose which news items to receive but also when. @BernhardPosselt; I agree complexity should always be kept as low as possible. What about a different approach in which this option would not affect the updating of a feed, but merely its display (unless an item is starred)? |

@basemod why not go for the collapsed folder approach? I don't see how this is different from what you are asking for. |

@BernhardPosselt for the reason v1r0x pointed out.
Of course I can read news feed by feed or even folder by folder, but that implies I would have to click on each seperately just to avoid the high frequency ones. I just thought it would be great to have them out of sight altogether. |

I mean put the high frequency ones that you want to ignore into a folder called like "High Frequency" and collapse that one. Now you're done. |

Hi!
Thanks to all contributors for providing one of my favorite Nextcloud features! 👍
I would like to suggest a checkbox / slider / context menu entry, for a new flag to manually set a single feed as "active" or "inactive" (the default being "active").
Deactivating a feed would result in not updating it unless it gets activated again.
This should not have any effect on the visibility of "starred" news items.
The reason why I suggest this is that some news sources one may be interested in may publish several dozen news per day, which can be quite overwhelming, and while one may generally be interested in those, there may be times when one wants to stay focused on other things and skip one feed in particular. So instead of deleting the feed and later adding it again, a way to just deactivate it would be great.
Right now I know of no other news reader that does this. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.What do you think about this?
