Thanks for the bug report @shift18. Just to help me debug, are you using local feeds or a sync service like FreshRSS or Feedbin?

Local feeds only
Oh, and thank you for looking into this issue!

Hey @shift18, I have a fix for this in 2025.02.1101 that should ignore unread articles that have already been notified.

Let me know if you still see odd behavior after that, and thanks again for the bug report!

Thanks alot @jocmp
Those persistent notifications where driving me nuts!

Hmm, unfortunately the issue seems to persist despite your efforts to fix it.

P.S. Received the update through google play today so I'll monitor the issue a while longer just to make sure.

Gotcha. @shift18 do you notice any patterns, for instance, is it just for some feeds and not others? Happy to investigate more if you keep seeing it.

No, can't say that i do.
Unread articles just are just being reannounced multiple times an hour, capy readers is set to refresh the feeds every 30 min and my assumption is that this is when the the articles gets reannounced.
Furthermore This happens even with articles that are hours old (according to the timestamp found in capy) so it's not like articles are being reissued by the feed hosts either.

Would you be willing to send me a feed that this is happening to? It could be feed specific if the article identifier changes for instance.

note to self:

• right join instead of left join
• ensure updated_at isn't reset on refresh

@shift18 I added another fix for this in 2025.02.1103 to avoid reissuing notifications if one was already posted. My hunch right now is that GrapheneOS doesn't broadcast when notifications are dismissed the same way that stock Android 15 does.

I'll leave this issue open just in case you still see any issues. Let me know!

thanks for all your efforts @jocmp
I'd expect GOS to handle notifications the same way as ASOP.

The GOS devs practically never never change stuff unless it enhances the security or privacy of the OS.
The only occasional expectation to this rules is to be found if the community desires a feature found in the stock os (ASOP + Googles very own special sauce)

Yes, if I have any further issues I'll definitely let you know!
