Add URL/API to add new Feeds

[jan-battenfeld]

If I want to add a new source i have to
copy address -> open selfoss -> goto Sources -> add new -> select rss-handler -> paste the link -> type in title or go back and copy again -> fill in tags -> save

Would be nice to point new feeds to something like http://your.selfoss.com/?addFeed=%s which would fill in Name and Url of %s into the AddSource Page.

Many Browser/Addons show an customizable Add Feed-icon in the titlebar and simply send the feed-url to an api which would reduce the above to
click rss symbol -> (click abo) -> fill in tags -> save

Possible enhancements/problems:

• autodetect source (like twitter or tumblr), otherwise default to rss-feed
• on the fly mode: add NEW label and save without further interaction for rss handler without redirect.

Love this idea. Kind of like the "easy add" bookmarklet provided by Google Reader. Makes adding new feeds a snap.

I was just looking to see if there was a bookmarklet for adding feeds to Selfoss. Hopefully, once there's an API, someone will make a fancy one that detects feeds on the page, etc.

Any progress on this one? I just bumped up to 2.17 and don't see any mention of it yet.

@niol added client-side URL handling in #869, so it should be easier to implement it now. However, it is not on my to-do list for 2.18, so unless someone sends a pull request it will have to wait.

Awesome. That work looks great on #869. I'll wait until that drops and then take a look at making a PR based on that.
