StreamFolio v1.0 Release Notes 🚀

I am incredibly excited to announce the very first release of StreamFolio! I built this app from the ground up to create a premium Android reading experience. StreamFolio is your new hub for global and personalized news, featuring a modern Material 3 interface and powerful customization tools.

✨ What's New in v1.0

• Curated & Custom RSS Feeds: Get started immediately with reliable default feeds I've curated for 8 distinct regions (US, GB, SG, IN, CA, AU, FR, DE), or seamlessly add your own custom RSS/Atom sources.
• Cross-Regional Discovery: Don't limit your news. Enable cross-regional provider toggles to read sources from any supported country alongside your primary region, plus check out the dedicated "World" category for global events.
• Drag-and-Drop Organization: Your news, your rules. Reorder your category tabs instantly via long-press gestures or the arrow buttons in Settings.
• Premium Material 3 UI: Enjoy a distraction-free reading experience that I crafted with a signature blue-cream palette, custom gradients, high-contrast typography, and smooth micro-animations.
• Hybrid Search: Find the stories you care about fast with a case-insensitive hybrid search, combining local database matching with concurrent online feed queries.
• Modern Navigation: Browse fluidly with predictive edge-swipe back gestures and custom slide transitions.
• Strict Chronological Ordering: Never miss a beat. All articles are normalized to UTC and strictly sorted by publication date so your feed is always up to the minute.

🛠️ Under the Hood

• I engineered this app with a lightweight MVVM architecture utilizing Jetpack Compose and StateFlow.
• Fast, offline-friendly caching is powered by a local Room database.
• Your personalized settings (tab orders, custom feeds, active regions) are securely saved and applied instantly via PreferencesHelper.
