Implement fast sync upon opening article
It would be nice to have fast sync occur when opening an article, to force a new fast sync, even though the five minutes interval have not passed (as described in the blog post here: https://gist.github.com/nicosomb/1e2c7a05b0b20e131023e6dc7e654fb2).
This would make sure that any changes to an article, like changing the star status, tags etc. to be reflected in the article being opened. When the annotations will be properly synced in the future (as already reported in issue #1048 ), having the forced fast sync upon opening an article will definitely be a logical addition.
I don't know how the fast sync is implemented, but if a fast sync could be forced for just the article being opened, that would of course be preferable and make the sync even quicker.
Maybe adding an option to update one article is not too hard to add, but it would still be a poor workaround.
I now read through your comment in the issue you linked to (https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag/issues/4345#issuecomment-617103098).
I absolutely agree that it would be a poor workaround having to be online all the time. However, if we simply are offline, nothing can of course be fetched. Would be this be any different from the current fast sync?
Either way, if it can be implemented by updating the API etc. that is of course always better than any workaround.
