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 Fetching

For some time now I wanted a quick way to manually fetch a feed, for example if there was an error and the feed would have stopped syncing. Now you can do that by clicking on the "Last check" info on the feed page.

For the eagled eyed you can see that it shows you the fetch intervals for the given feed in question — that's just so you get an idea how things work.

In addition to this, there sometimes are intermittent issues with fetching feeds due to errors outside of my control, like rate limiting or if a site is temporarily offline — there is now a retry mechanism that works in the background to try and update it as best as possible. For feeds that keep failing, it'll now let you know on the feed page that an error has occurred.

Hope you enjoy these additions. Until next time.
