HardlyReader v0.6.26 (preview)

Preview build. 0.6.26 is the current working line: all four bundles are cut from the same commit as the app in the tree. The iOS IPA is unsigned and needs sideloading.

Added

• Buzz. A bolt at the top of the sidebar finds the stories several of your
  feeds are telling at once: one engine, ranked coverage-first, over the last 48
  hours. Topics are a name plus the words a reader gives them — the articles pane
  becomes the topic's stories, and the topic rows stay collapsed with their feeds'
  icons until asked.
• A category can wear a picture, guessed from its name when it has none, and
  a wrong guess gets a way to be corrected: the category menu's Icon… opens the
  picker anchored at the press, with the automatic guess as one of the choices.
• A phone can swipe to the next article. Past the end of an article the swipe
  fills the same line the wheel fills, with the same resistance and the same
  "scroll effort" setting, and releasing at a full line loads the next article.

Changed

• An unfolded feed stays put. On a phone, opening a feed now scrolls its row
  to the top of the tree and pins it there: the feed's name and the four views
  under it stay against the top while its posts scroll beneath, instead of
  carrying the view options away with them. Measured on the built stylesheet with
  the tree's real classes — at scrollTop 200 the row sits at 0 and the views bar
  at the row's own height.

• A feed opens at its first post. Tapping a second feed closed the first,
  which removed its posts from above and left the scroll at the end of the feed
  you had just asked for; the row is now pinned (and the scroll set to it) after
  the new posts arrive.

• Feed indent moved into the Aa panel. It was a phone's Settings → Feeds
  row, two doors from the list it moves; it is now the first row of the Aa
  panel, above Text size, on the slider the sidebar already mounts. Same store,
  same write, one slider in three frames rather than a second setting.

• "Pictures" is "Thumbnails" in that panel, and so is everything inside it —
  the group, the position, the size and both stepper labels. "Pictures above
  text" now reads as thumbnails too.

• A grid tile keeps its picture whole. Star and read were a floating pill in
  the tile's top-right corner, drawn over the one part of a square tile the eye
  goes to first. They are now the last line of the tile, under the words, in
  normal flow; a thumb gets a 34px target.

• A phone's title bar names where you are in 15px, not 12.5px. The title is
  the one thing in that bar that changes meaning as you move, and at 12.5 it read
  like a caption on the back arrow.
