Add number of feeds in subscription view

@math-GH Maybe you will want to fine tune a bit the style

[math-GH]

I’m not a fan of implementing a solution in the core, nor am I fond of this particular style.

I would propose to create an extension for it. It would be a simple JavaScript that counts the items of each category.

That is the current global view The counter has a complete different meaning here

Why I do not like the style: The numbers are used in the other cases for the "unread" counter.

And a question left: What is the information behind "501" feeds in this category vs. "299" feeds vs. "8" feeds?

[Alkarex]

Fair point for the style being used in other contexts. But in a view, which purpose is to manage feeds in categories, showing their number seems like a reasonable basic expectation.

So other style suggestions welcome.

When categories are used to organise larger amounts of feeds, showing their numbers is interesting. I have for instance a case of organising many companies. Furthermore, some categories may have a dynamic number of feeds, and seeing changes can be useful.

P.S. I can for instance remember in the past having exported to OPML to get this information

[math-GH]

What if it gives more information than just the number of feeds?

• number of feeds
• number of scrapped websites (feed type that uses XPath)
• number of "error" feeds
• number of muted feeds

=> 4 numbers + icon for each => give numbers in 1 rows below the headline, above the feed list (or have a fixed footer in each box, that includes the "add feeds" link too)

And the "Display position" of the category (if given) could be useful too.

Let me link #4672 that wants to improve the subscription page too

[Alkarex]

@math-GH Sounds nice 👍🏻

The simple solution is to show the count in parentheses after the title, rather than right-aligned in a badge

[Alkarex]

Something like that? Help to polish the styling welcome + maybe i18n.

🗞️ feeds · 🔇 muted · ⚠️ errors · 🕸️ scraping · 🎣 full content retrieval

[math-GH]

I like this solution. Great! What would I expect as a user: each icon should be a simple filter button. Click on it and show only this entries. Please use here <button> incl. a title

Currently I am not so super happy while using UTF8 icons instead of . But I know that the triangle symbol and muted symbol are used already as UTF8. So let's keep it for the first shot. The feed count icon: I would purpose to use the RSS icon (I know it is not 100% accurate but self explaining). Or what about this: 🧾 or 📰 Icon propose for web scrapping: ⛏️ (a pick) Icon for full content retrieval: I cannot see what kind of icon it is. This icon could be used too: ♨️(it has no real meaning but it is striking) 😆 Or the scissors could represent it as well? ✂️

[math-GH]

What does this number mean?

[Alkarex]

Number of unread articles, like in the main view

[math-GH]

Number of unread articles, like in the main view

Is it interesting in this view?

[Alkarex]

Is it interesting in this view?

I would say a bit interesting, yes, and also for consistency with the main view, but I do not really mind

[Alkarex]

Would you feel like pushing some of your suggestions, @math-GH ?

I like it

I would not expect that number here. Would it increase the used resource to calculate the number?

In my opinion another number is more interesting if used: The display position number. It would explain the order of the categories.

[Alkarex]

Would it increase the used resource to calculate the number?

No, this information comes for free in this view.

I do not really mind, so if you have energy for polishing this PR, please go ahead as you believe is best

I think making a list of display position numbers is a good idea. Would it be better to merge #7341 into this view or separate it into a another view? In my opinion, the latter is more simple. If the latter, it is not required in this view, because a list of display position numbers is provided in #7341 view (of course, both views could provide it).

As stated here, I think it would be better to have a list of feeds and categories in a table where we can apply some filters (ex: show muted feeds, show feeds with an overriding configuration, ...).

This list could have mode information than what is given in the current form.

Sounds like an promising idea
