• 🐛 Fixed an issue (maybe) that may have broken the reader view when viewing certain types of icons for your subscriptions.

• ✌️ Added a floating next/previous bar for the reader view so you don't have to scroll all the way to the end of the article. Thanks David!

August '25 Updates

Hey there, Vincent here, I thought I'll do something different for once as it's been some time. I've been working on adding more features to Sublime Feed as I find myself using it more and more — I know, that sounds silly. Yet here I am reading more and enjoying life as a user. So let's get started on what I worked on. OPML ImportThe missing link! You can now import your OPML exports straight into the Sublime Feed and it will do the rest for you. It'll work in the background to fetch the feeds, check them, and add them — if there are any errors, it'll let you know about the specific feeds. Simples. Another nice addition to this is, when you export a Sublime Feed OPML file, it will add extra data to the export, so when you come back 😏 it will import everything as it...

• 🚀 In addition to customising your reader view, you can now also page through posts at the bottom of the page for a given feed. Here is a video: • 🚀 Also new is the ability to show a special reader view for your timeline for new items that have come through. Clicking on the reader button will automatically take you to the first new post since the last time you've visited (anything showing above your marker). Page through as you read. Bliss.

Customise reader view & feed fetching

Today I worked on allowing you to customise your reader view a little more beyond just fonts. You see I like to have my computer in dark mode but prefer reading on lighter texture, with a slightly larger font. So now you can do exactly that, including a few more themes that should serve well. Here is a quick video:You can see a nice little paintbrush to the bottom right of the reader view and selecting it will open up your options. The view will update as you change settings. These settings are saved to your account and will apply wherever you are logged in. Here is a screenshot in case you didn't look at the video 😋I hope you enjoy this and that it's useful for some of you. Feed FetchingFor some time now I wanted a quick way to manually fetch a feed, for example if there was...

• 📖 Added 3 "system" based reader fonts for you to choose from. System Serif, System Sans Serif, and System Mono. They'll work across different platforms also as it uses the built in system fonts for various systems. • 💨 Fixed an issue where loading your feed was slow due to processing images on the fly. This functionality has now been removed so that images load async without all the extra background stuff that was causing things to just go so slow. Sorry about that.

• 🚀 You can now choose your own reader font with a new setting in your account page. Just head on over to Reader Font and select the one that works for you. You've got a little preview that updates as you select a font. If one is missing that you'd like, please let me know.

• 🐛👾 Fixed an issue where the subscription page could load slowly because it was trying to re-generate the images for the feeds if you haven't visited in a while.

• 🧹 Tweaked the way the dates look on posts and reader view. Nothing too exciting.

• 🐛👾 Fixed an issue where feeds that report back as a normal "HTML" page, but actually contained an RSS feed, didn't get recognised (which should be the correct behaviour). Well, no more — now even those devious hidden feeds should make their way. • 🐛👾 Fixed an issue where posts on some feeds that didn't have "date_published" data wouldn't show any date and would all show at once at the top of your feed. It'll now fallback to using the date the post was added on the server if it can't find the data.

• 🐛 Fixed an issue with showing a subscribe error when trying to add a feed when you're below the 10 feed threshold. • 🤷‍♂️ Monitoring issues with our payment provider...

Soft launch

I've decided to just get on with it and finally release Sublime Feed. Hopefully for some of you it will stick and you will find a more calmer approach to reading your feeds. I'm calling this a soft launch because there is still much for me to do, however I wanted to get this just out there — it's been over 6 months since I first sat down (6th of May) and started the project (after launching Scribbles). Granted, I took summer off. At the beginning of the project I wrote a little introduction of what it is, and I invite you to have a look and give it a read. I'm sticking to the philosophy and it's really rewired my brain on how I consume my content. There is still much for me to do with Sublime Feed — it's time to let it fly and get it out...

Thinking about pricing

I'm at the point where I need to finally nail in that pricing for launching hopefully next week at some stage, and I'm a little conflicted. So if you're reading, please let me know what you think. During development I had a no limits on the amount of feeds you can have. The initial plan was to allow for 10 for free — however I am conflicted if I even should offer something for free. Sublime Feed is incredibly niche, yet incredibly cool — I think it's a much better way to consume your content without wanting to scratch your eyes out on the amount of "unread" you had — just a moment in time, where you're present, not trying to tick that virtual meaningless, stress inducing, box. As an aside, I was testing OPML exports and imported it into a feed reader app... and all over a sudden I...

• 👾 Added support for exporting your feed subscriptions to OPML. Go to your account page and find the "Export Subscriptions (OPML)" link to download it. • 🐛 Fixed an issue with opening feed URLs that could redirect you to another page. • 🐛 Fixed an issue where a feed would fail to download when first subscribing and where it would throw an application error instead of letting you nicely.

• 👾 Added a "show all posts" link for feeds where you hide posts where no title is present. That means your feed is as normal, but you can always read everything if you so wanted for that particular subscription. Better than toggling the option for when you're interested in reading a little more. • 🧹 Tweaked the sizing of the logo every so slightly, which should also make it nicer if you have it "installed" as a web app on your device. I might further tweak this.
