Newsboat missing features

[timsofteng]

Hello. I want to switch to miniflux but I've seen some limitations using it with newsboat like starring and so on.

Is it miniflux's api newsboat's limitation?

It seems to be a miniflux API limitation. This should be available in the API, I will submit a PR to support starring. For the enclosures things, enclosures are supported in Miniflux and exposed via the API but only when you fetch the single entry.

In fact, this is already possible with this endpoint https://miniflux.app/docs/api.html#endpoint-toggle-bookmark

@Minoru May you please take a look at this?

Starring hasn't been implemented in Newsboat, but PRs are welcome. Just edit this method; see other *api.cpp files for inspiration. This docker-compose file may help with testing.

@rdelaage May I ask why enclosures are only listed when fetching a single entry? It creates the N+1 query problem for Newsboat, because it fetches the feed and would then have to fetch all of its entries to check if they have enclosures.

For the enclosure thing, this is related to #1059
