Added

  • Google Drive share links to PDFs save the PDF itself (through Drive's
    download link, including the large-file confirmation). The article keeps the
    share link as its URL.
  • YouTube and Vimeo players in RSS articles: feed bodies now turn embedded
    players into the reader's video figure, as saved pages already did.
  • Scanned PDFs with no selectable text are saved and open in PDF view.

Changed

  • The in-reader PDF view caps portrait pages at a readable width; landscape
    pages still fill the reader.
  • Embedded posts from X/Twitter show as X's own embed in the reader (avatar,
    media, quoted post, in the reader's light or dark theme, sized to the post;
    links open in the default browser). Without a connection the post shows as
    a quoted card: author, text, and a dated "View on X" link.
  • WhatsApp: the link no longer shows you as online, so your phone keeps its
    notifications.
  • The repository is now rakshithxaloori/reader-macOS. Check for Updates
    follows GitHub's redirect when the repository is renamed, so later renames
    do not break it.

Fixed

  • The open-in-browser toolbar button and Open original now open the article
    in the default browser.
  • Opening a saved PDF no longer shows "The image format could not be
    determined".
  • YouTube and Vimeo players respond to clicks: play, pause and the player's
    controls work (the text view's own click handling no longer intercepts
    them), and links out of a player, such as "Watch on YouTube", open in the
    default browser. The empty gap below a video is gone.
  • Embedded X posts on saved Substack pages are recognized too, including a
    quoted post.
