Feature request: GUI for add a feed

[Martin-Fox]

I want to have a GUI for podsync, so I do not have to add each feed manually in toml file, but I can just paste a link into GUI page, and this will generate another entry in toml file.

Creating a GUI for Podsync to streamline the process of adding feeds could involve the following steps:

• Designing a user-friendly interface that allows users to paste links directly into the GUI.
• Implementing a backend system that takes the input URL and generates a new entry in the TOML configuration file.
• Ensuring the GUI has the capability to validate the input URLs and provide feedback to the user.
• Developing a feature within the GUI to display the current list of feeds and allow users to edit or remove existing entries.
• Integrating the GUI with the existing Podsync system to ensure seamless updates and synchronization with the TOML file.
• Testing the GUI thoroughly to ensure it is intuitive and error-free for end-users.
• Providing documentation and support for users to understand how to use the new GUI effectively.

This enhancement would significantly simplify the process of managing podcast feeds in Podsync, making it more accessible to users who prefer a graphical interface over manual file editing.

I am currently working on a python addon for a UI. However, so far I understand, podsync does not automatically reload the config. As far as I can see, that would be a more complicated change, to implement a config update , because the cron has to be rescheduled. It might be easier to restart podsync and so force a complete resync of all podcasts.

@staeff777 I know I may be pain in the 🍑, but what’s the progress with that? 😇

@Martin-Fox I experimented a bit with streamlit and wrote an editor that could edit existing feeds within the config toml. (adding new feeds and restarting podsync to load was still open).

This year I switched to pinchflat: https://github.com/kieraneglin/pinchflat/wiki/Podcast-RSS-Feeds . This fills my needs.

There is a proposal to add a simple web ui: #713
Personally I don't have any experience in UI development, so won't be able to support this.
Unless someone else is willing to maintain UI parts.
