time instead of authors?

[mircealungu]

we are not extracting the authors correctly from some articles. happens at least in Politiken (e..g https://www.zeeguu.org/read/article?id=2455030) and DR (e.g. https://www.zeeguu.org/read/article?id=2445554).

as a result, the reader can be confusing at times:

Also, we're not showing the article date in the reader.

I propose the following solution:

replace the authors list in the reader with the date

what do you think @igawaclawska and @tfnribeiro ?

[tfnribeiro]

I agree, maybe it would be good to include the source icon as well:

I think it's more likely that people associate the articles with sources than specific authors.

@mircealungu, I like the idea! Also, I have observed that (so far) it only happens in the reader from the app, the reader in the extension can extract the authors. I will check more articles to confirm if though. If so, maybe comparing parsing solutions in both cases could help fix it 🤔

[tfnribeiro]

That's a good point Iga, we parse the documents slightly differently from the Extension VS the Browser, so maybe this would be a problem that would fix itself once we unify the two readers.

[igawaclawska]

I think it's very likely. But I also like the solution of showing the source logo and a date (before we figure out why the author is not extracted correctly). If unifying two readers fixes the parsing issue, I would still leave the source logo present.
