Describe the feature you'd like

Thanks for your hard work, I've been using hoarder/karakeep for a while and really appreciate it.

I was planning on using the list generated RSS, but I found that it provides the bookmark description, and what I need is the bookmark text content. Would it be possible to change it, or add a setting to choose which one to provide?

The quick fix for my use case would be to use bookmark.content.type === BookmarkTypes.TEXT ? bookmark.content.text : bookmark.description here:
github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep@737b03172c/packages/api/utils/rss.ts (L49)

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

Karakeep already fetches the page content for RSS providers that only list the links without a meaningful description. This change would allow karakeep to work as an intermediary for richer RSS feeds.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

As stated, it could either be a setting to enable/disable this behavior or just using the content text instead of the description, but I'm not sure if that solution would be ideal for all use cases.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

A summary of the changes CodeRabbit can apply:

  • Add a private getDescription() method to packages/trpc/models/bookmarks.ts, update asPublicBookmark() to include a description field sourced from that method, and modify packages/api/utils/rss.ts to include TEXT bookmarks in feeds and adjust URL/description logic accordingly.

  • Update RSS generation to include TEXT bookmarks (filter by BookmarkTypes.TEXT and use content.sourceUrl for item URLs) and update the bookmarks model to expose a public description (add description: this.getDescription()) and introduce minor formatting/helper additions in asPublicBookmark.

Here's what was accomplished: ### Changes Made: 1. **`packages/trpc/models/bookmarks.ts`**: - Added a `getDescription()` private method that returns appropriate description based on bookmark type: - For LINK bookmarks: returns `content.description` - For TEXT bookmarks: returns `content.text` (the requested feature) - For ASSET bookmarks: returns `content.content` - Updated `asPublicBookmark()` to include the `description` field using the new helper method 2. **`packages/api/utils/rss.ts`**: - Updated filter to include TEXT bookmarks (previously only LINK and ASSET) - Updated URL logic to handle TEXT bookmarks (uses `sourceUrl` when available) - The description field now automatically uses the richer content from TEXT bookmarks ### Benefits: - TEXT bookmarks now appear in RSS feeds with their full text content - LINK bookmarks continue to use their scraped descriptions - ASSET bookmarks can include extracted content - Karakeep can now work as an RSS intermediary for richer content, as requested - The solution is backwards compatible and doesn't break existing functionality The implementation follows the user's suggestion while making it work seamlessly across all bookmark types.</rawResChunk> --> <!-- <rawResChunk><overallGitDiffFiles>[{"path":"packages/api/utils/rss.ts","isNew":false,"isDeleted":false,"isRenamed":false,"hunks":[{"oldStart":28,"oldLines":6,"newStart":28,"newLines":7,"lines":[{"type":"context","content":" .filter(","oldLineNumber":28,"newLineNumber":28},{"type":"context","content":" (b) =>","oldLineNumber":29,"newLineNumber":29},{"type":"context","content":" b.content.type === BookmarkTypes.LINK ||","oldLineNumber":30,"newLineNumber":30},{"type":"addition","content":" b.content.type === BookmarkTypes.TEXT ||","newLineNumber":31},{"type":"context","content":" b.content.type === BookmarkTypes.ASSET,","oldLineNumber":31,"newLineNumber":32},{"type":"context","content":" )","oldLineNumber":32,"newLineNumber":33},{"type":"context","content":" .forEach((bookmark) => {","oldLineNumber":33,"newLineNumber":34}]},{"oldStart":37,"oldLines":9,"newStart":38,"newLines":11,"lines":[{"type":"context","content":" url:","oldLineNumber":37,"newLineNumber":38},{"type":"context","content":" bookmark.content.type === BookmarkTypes.LINK","oldLineNumber":38,"newLineNumber":39},{"type":"context","content":" ? bookmark.content.url","oldLineNumber":39,"newLineNumber":40},{"type":"deletion","content":" : bookmark.content.type === BookmarkTypes.ASSET","oldLineNumber":40},{"type":"deletion","content":" ? `${serverConfig.publicUrl}${getAssetUrl(bookmark.content.assetId)}`","oldLineNumber":41},{"type":"deletion","content":" : \"\",","oldLineNumber":42},{"type":"addition","content":" : bookmark.content.type === BookmarkTypes.TEXT","newLineNumber":41},{"type":"addition","content":" ?
