Kit features

In the next version:

  • HTML in items is "tidied" to (mostly) prevent items from hampering the display of following items.
  • You may have already noticed, but because of how it's implemented, Radio's new comments link feature works with Kit's news page.

Possible Kit enhancements:

  • A "read news" cursor. By default the News page would show all unread news. A button would mark all news as read, and a radio button can select the last read item.
  • A web preferences page for toggling the options currently in the Tool's menu as "Toggle this-that" options.
  • View a particular feed's items.
  • Some features from Brian St. Pierre. These are more sure to be put in Kit eventually than the others, but may not be in the next version, depending on when I release it.
    • A "Hide items containing words" option on the news page, like the opposite of the "Show only items containing words".
    • A field on the News Preferences page for per-field stop words, that hide items if present.
    • A "Reinstall pages" menu option.

Brian wanted to have Kit actually delete the items with certain stop words when the News page found them, but the News page shouldn't delete anything unless you click "Delete checked". It would be easy to do it as a storyArrived callback, if it weren't for the problems I complained about last time. If any Radio hackers reading this have insight to share, please comment. Thanks!
