Reading articles

reader keeps the classic Google Reader layout: a feeds sidebar, an article list, and the reader pane. Each column collapses to a rail ([ and ] toggle the first two; every rail has a click target too) and can be resized by dragging its edge.

  • Articles group by publication day — Today, Yesterday, then dated headers.
  • Opening an article (click, or j/k navigation) marks it read immediately.
  • Infinite scroll loads the next page before you reach the bottom; a Load more button covers keyboard and reduced-motion cases.

Above the list, the feed’s categories appear as toggle chips with unread counts. Selecting a chip filters the list to that subject; All clears the filter. Chips are per-feed — saved lists have their own membership instead.

  • Reader / Embedded page tabs: sanitized article content, or the original page in a sandboxed iframe when the feed only supplied a summary.
  • Previous / next article links at the bottom, plus left/right swipe on touch devices with a directional push transition.
  • The article title links to the original URL in a new tab.

Below 700px the app switches to a single-pane flow: tap an article to open the reader full-screen, ← Back to list returns. Day headers appear in the list and the feeds sidebar becomes a drawer behind the ☰ button.

The web UI is a PWA. On desktop Chrome/Edge use the address-bar install icon (or the ⤓ button in the header); on iOS Safari use Share → Add to Home Screen; on Android use the ⋮ menu → Install app.
