Just got it. I like the focus on working though a bunch of links. Currently for a site like hacker news I open a lot of tabs but I always have to switch back on opening the tab and it uses up a lot of memory loading them when I not actually going to read them yet.
iCab solves the first problem as it can auto background tab any links to a different domain. This is a actually smoother than the flow here: tap-hold-selecting is a slow operation I don't want to have to do it for every link on a page.
Instead I'd love a toggle that turns on add to queue as the default operation for the duration of that page. (This would be an improvement on the iCab option as the background loading is easy to forget about and then immediately becomes confusing.) The toggle should be a main button like the plus and would cease to apply if you navigate anywhere else or start going though your queue.
Another option would be certain pages always open in auto add to queue mode (eg set on the the bookmark). And some people might prefer add to instapaper as the default action etc.
EDIT: I actually really like this. Feels very smooth.
- quanganhdo 16y agoGreat idea. iCab Mobile is an amazing web browser, and I've learnt a lot from Alexander's blog (http://icab.de/blog http://icab.de/blog) I'll be sure to tweak the Reading queue feature to speed up the process. Stay tuned.
