Kbin Subscriptions Panel 2.9

greasyfork.org Kbin Subscriptions Panel

Adds a side panel with all magazine subscriptions.

I saw right when I was going to post this that someone else had already posted something similar, but I thought I'll go ahead and post it anyway as an alternative.

I threw together a simple side panel last night that lists all magazine subscriptions sorted alphabetically. I've also added a simple search box to quickly filter the list.

Edit: Listening to the feedback, I've added some (hopefully) improvements:

Version 0.6

  • Improved panel resizing such that the main content column is prioritised.
  • Added a settings modal where you can choose to increase the width of the page to fit the panel better.

Version 0.7

  • Fixed misaligned panel when sidebar was set to left position.

Version 0.8

  • Added toggle to collapse the panel.
  • Added option to hide the magazines when panel is collapsed.

Version 0.9

  • Fixed collapsing panel when sidebar is on the left side

Version 1.0

First major release!

  • Added onboarding step.
  • Added optional cache of subscriptions to make the panel load quicker.
  • Added basic support for mobile devices.
  • Added accessibility labels to buttons.
  • Removed Tampermonkey specific functions to (hopefully) increase compatibility.

Version 1.1

  • Added option to always show mobile menu for those who prefers a modal instead of a side panel
  • Fixed not handling rounded edges setting.

Version 1.2

  • Fixed layout issue when sticky navigation was off

Version 1.3

  • Fixed only loading the first 48 subscriptions.
  • Changed cache settings to use cache by default.

Version 1.4

  • Fixed slight flickering when loading with cache enabled.

Version 1.5

  • Added magazine grouping. Magazines that share the same name are grouped together. Can be disabled in settings.
  • Improved search UX.

Version 1.6

  • Fixed page scrolling to top when opening the mobile modal.

Version 2.0

The project had grown much larger than I had initially anticipated, to the point that it had started to become very difficult to maintain.

This release features a completely overhauled codebase, making it significantly easier to develop. It has also enabled me to move away from relying purely on DOM manipulation and instead move towards a more object oriented approach where each magazine handles its own state and presentation.

There is still a lot of cleanup left to do, but with this restructure, it enabled me to introduce a few hopefully interesting new features:

  • Added a Recently Viewed section that lists the last 5 visited magazines. Can be disabled in settings.
  • Added staring where one can select magazines to be sorted at the top of the list.
  • Added ignore option, where one can choose to hide individual magazines from the panel.
  • Improved mobile UX. The main menu and the subscriptions panel will now respect each other's states, meaning if one opens the other one will close.

A few words about the recently viewed sections. If this is enabled, any time one navigates to a certain magazine (in any way), a time stamp is stored in local storage of when the magazine was last visited. While the data is of course only stored on the local device, some people might still not want to record such data at all for privacy reasons.

If the recently viewed section is disabled in settings, this data is not recorded and any existing data is removed. I've also added a reset button in settings, which removes all settings, cache and magazine data from the device.

Version 2.1

  • Added sticky panel option in settings to make the panel stick to the top and scroll independently.

Version 2.2

  • Improved sticky panel UX.

Version 2.3

  • Improved sorting
  • Improved mobile menu when viewport resizes between desktop and mobile sizes (e.g. typically when rotating a tablet)

Version 2.4

  • Fixed panel displaying while closed in force mobile mode.

Version 2.5

  • Fixed compatibility with future Kbin release
  • Added integration with KUP settings panel.

Version 2.6

  • Fixed issue with Firefox

Version 2.7

  • Fixed layouting issue with Kbin.
  • Added compatibility with KUP bookmarks modal.

Version 2.8

  • Added alternative mobile menu placement (behind the hamburger menu) to increase compatibility with other scripts.

Version 2.9

  • Fixed placement of alternative mobile menu.

Note that if "always mobile menu" is turned on, both the alternative menu and the original menu will be visible. May require reload to fully apply.

  • The 2.0 release was quite a hefty project compared to the previous versions. While I did squash a few old bugs, it wouldn't surprise me if a few new ones might still be lurking around in there.

    If you guys happen to find anything, just give me a shout and I'll look into it as soon as I can.

    • Damn cool update Perry. One question for you: I added css scroll to the subscription panel, however now with the new edit section the star and ignore tool ignore the scroll function. Are they in a container or is there a way i can get it to scroll with the rest of the elements? I attached an image of what I mean

      • I've released an update that adds an option in the settings to enable sticky panel. There are quite a lot of edge cases and I'm not entirely sure that I'm completely happy with how the panel scrolling behaves.

        I will need to tinker a bit more with it, but at least it should work in the most basic sense.
