Favourites, said in words. The star's state is a favourite everywhere a
person reads it: the filter pair, the post list, the article bar, the viewer,
the theme panel and the account control. Nothing migrated — the server's …/state/com.google/starred, the stream ids and isStarred() keep their
names, because they are identifiers, not sentences.
Messages from the author, in Settings. A bell with a dot when something
arrived, and a section that lists them; one request when the sheet opens, no
timer, no push, and a failure says what failed rather than drawing an empty
inbox. The two reads are security definer functions keyed on auth.uid()
(supabase/app-messages.sql), so targeting and read state are the server's
decision, and a message for one app never appears in the other.
Changed
The filters are two switches, not four words. Unread and Favourites are
independent and combine: pressing one of a pair shows that half, pressing it
again shows everything, and an axis that is showing everything wears a slash.
The buttons are icons — a circle, a circle with a tick, a star filled and
hollow — because the row already speaks that language. A fresh install opens
on unread only; the empty list offers "Show what you have read" in one press.
The article bar's read button is the list's own mark. A hollow ring until
the post is read, a tick inside it after, instead of the two text characters
the bar used to use.
The scroll past the end of a post gets heavier as it fills. The pull is 1 − (1 − u)² on the travel: a 100px notch is worth 72px of pull on the first
one and 8px on the last, the first quarter of the line costs 13% of the travel
and the last quarter half of it. The total is unchanged — 728px at ×1 — so it
is the distribution that moved, not the distance.
The page slides away to reveal the post it is scrolling towards. From 80%
of the pull the open post lifts and the next one's feed and headline show in
the strip underneath. This existed for a thumb only; a wheel had none of it and
swapped the post with nothing moving. "Reveal next" is on by default now —
saved under a new key, so an install that has ever written a preference is not
stuck on the old silent default.
The fit button grows the window by what the card is short of. Height only:
a wider pane draws a card's picture taller, so the pane keeps its width, the
window only grows, and never past the screen. It used to resize the whole
window's width on every press — 299px for a page, 1133px for a banner — which
is what "overly expands the window" was.
A read card dims harder than a read row (0.32 against 0.48, the centred
one 0.6), because a card is mostly picture and a picture at 0.48 still looks
like a picture.
Fixed
A card lands where the pane's middle falls inside it, not at the nearest
centre, which with unequal heights could round backwards; and the card is
re-placed once its picture supplies its real height, standing down the moment
the reader touches the column.
A starred card is identifiable in Cards. Its mat is the star's gold at 44%
instead of the accent's 28%, with a 3px band of that gold along the card's
bottom edge, so a feed of read comics has a way to show which ones are
favourites.
