Changelog May 8th — July 9th

A round of speed and navigation polish on the feed and reader, plus a little cleanup on sign-in and the homepage. May 28, 2026• 💅 Various little things — homepage, login and auth pages got some love. July 8, 2026• 🚀 Snappier navigation — timeline, subscriptions, and reader should feel noticeably faster when you're moving between posts and feeds. • 🚀 Faster reader open — clicking into a post from your feed now prefetches the reader and opens quicker. July 9, 2026• 🚀 Instant feed paint — your main and pinned timelines show the shell right away and lazy-load posts,...

• ✨ You can now name your Shared Posts RSS feed — great for when you want people to subscribe to it.

• ✨ Added new timeline settings that allows you to enable/disable grouped time markers next to the post list so it's easier to see when something was written. By default they're on and you can always change this on your account page. • 🚀 For paid subscribers (more on that in a moment) you can now enable a private RSS feed for your shared posts. Use this to import posts to another blog, or cross-post to social, you name it. More I'd like to do here perhaps and also allow for a public page of these. • 🙏 Sublime Feed...

• 🐛 Fixed an issue where an ATOM feed that was returned as HTML would not be correctly parsed.

Registration is open again

Due to popular demand, I have re-opened registration for everyone. Sublime Feed will be in a public beta for a few months and you can use it for free for up to 25 feeds. If you need more, just get in touch. For anyone that has subscribed in the past, you all have been granted a lifetime license — thank you for all your support. I'll be announcing pricing at a later stage. ✌️❤️ — Vincent

• 🐛 Fixed an issue that would prevent you from adding more feeds if you were on a lifetime plan.

Been a while, but I have some bits for you to enjoy! • 💅 Tweaked the main menu to nicely show you your pinned feeds so you can get to them straightaway. • 💅 A new header when viewing a feed that looks cleaner, and not so messy, with easy to read statuses for any options you have set, for example if it's pinned or if you're hiding posts without a title. • 😋 Considering the above, you can now see a visible reload feed icon, which will do exactly that — great if you're trigger happy. • 🚀 Made...

✨ Feeds from Mastodon now include images when available on the feed and reader views. Thanks Nick!

• 🐛 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...

• 🚀 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...

• 📖 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.
