This looks great and I would love to try it but I have an iPhone 7 plus so can't install the required version of iOS - need to upgrade!
I currently use Octal but would switch and pay the subscription for an app that:
1) Highlights or lowlights comments I've already read. I think this is quite hard to do well though.
2) Allows me to hide stories I'm not interested in with a swipe.
3) Adds read later functionality - maybe an option available in the story screen. Currently, I favourite things I want to read and then unfavourite when I've finished but I realise that's probably not what the feature was intended for!
Bonus points for an offline mode! (as someone else mentioned)
- jrhey 3y agoSorry about the minimum iOS version! I rely on various APIs that iOS 16 brought into SwiftUI. The point you raised about "read later" started spinning some wheels in my mind. I really like that idea. Right now I have bookmarks, but that would only be the same workflow as you have with favourites. I'm now thinking up ways to make that "I'm finished reading this" either dynamic and/or manually initiated. I'd love to take the "hide stories I'm not interested in" approach and pair it with the flip side, "send me a push notification whenever a story is posted that mentions <keyword>". I've tinkered with automatic categorisation (with mixed success) before using OpenAI, which may help users filter out things that are deemed "sensational" or "political". Thank you for this feedback. It really helps!
