[Feature]: prefix freshrss category
It should prefix the category of a feed from freshrss similar to how you can
feeds:
# name will be prefixed to all entries in the list
name: dropbox
- url: https://snyk.io/blog/feed
Thanks for the suggestion @ilovethensa. Are you looking to add prefixes for feeds managed by freshrss?

Yea
Hey @guyfedwards. I second this. However, not just for freshrss, but for all entries.
First, thanks for this great tool.
So, say I add some config with urls and its names. I'm trying to understand the purpose of the name item in the config, if one can know what all different RSSes are added just by looking at the url. If it is to give some name to the url, I think that may not matter, since, in the main view of nom, (where all the feeds are shown), it's difficult to distinguish which item/feed comes from which RSS.
Suggestion: What can be done here is, the name field in the config can be used to prefix the category over the feed names. For e.g. say I have this config:
feeds:
- url: https://www.investing.com/rss/news.rss
name: Investing
- url: http://feeds.feedburner.com/ndtvnews-world-news
name: NDTV World News
Then, if possible, the feeds can be displayed in the main view of nom as, for e.g.:
nom
> 1. NDTV World News: Bird builds nest using Fibre Optics found in Drones
2. Investing: The Stoic Path to Wealth, with Robert Rosenkrantz
....
What do you think?
That is what the name is designed to be doing, is it not showing as a prefix in the UI when setting a name in config?
Ok now it's showing. I'm not sure what happened. it wasn't doing that when I checked just after the installation. I added a few more rss-feeds with 'name' and I can see the prefix now. Thank you for the quick response.
Added freshrss.prefixCats: bool in https://github.com/guyfedwards/nom/releases/tag/v2.10.0
