<title>Launched today: Totally New Web Reader for Feeder</title>
<description>
&lt;p&gt;&lt;figure data-orig-width=&quot;1080&quot; data-orig-height=&quot;720&quot; class=&quot;tmblr-full&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://78.media.tumblr.com/62233b54c2f1ed3db139e30bd7aa31d6/tumblr_inline_p8dlwwYw0u1qleij7_540.gif&quot; alt=&quot;image&quot; data-orig-width=&quot;1080&quot; data-orig-height=&quot;720&quot;/&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today we’re proud to announce the next exciting step in Feeder’s journey: The Web Reader 2.0.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since the announcement that AOL Reader and Digg Reader were shutting down we’ve been working our butts off to make Feeder a warm welcoming place for all these users.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;What is new?&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have added more ways for you to consume your feeds. There are now three different modes of feed consumption, and that’s not counting the additional options within.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First let us introduce a new button:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Display switcher&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-orig-width=&quot;1418&quot; data-orig-height=&quot;786&quot; class=&quot;tmblr-full&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://78.media.tumblr.com/866aa76a3a79c51123cb16580cd4f588/tumblr_inline_p8dkkrKi3z1qleij7_540.png&quot; alt=&quot;image&quot; data-orig-width=&quot;1418&quot; data-orig-height=&quot;786&quot;/&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;This little button is the portal to the new reader modes. Try them out and stay with the one you enjoyed most. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Reader mode:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-orig-width=&quot;2880&quot; data-orig-height=&quot;1596&quot; class=&quot;tmblr-full&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://78.media.tumblr.com/9bb9dfbfc4691b8276482878bc3ac06c/tumblr_inline_p8dkl0Stuo1qleij7_540.png&quot; alt=&quot;image&quot; data-orig-width=&quot;2880&quot; data-orig-height=&quot;1596&quot;/&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;An infinite scroll of your posts. You can choose to see only the headlines, or the entire summary of the posts inline.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;3-pane mode:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-orig-width=&quot;2880&quot; data-orig-height=&quot;1596&quot; class=&quot;tmblr-full&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://78.media.tumblr.com/ed0b0b7c8777b2399203be2786509d60/tumblr_inline_p8dklbOfnP1qleij7_540.png&quot; alt=&quot;image&quot; data-orig-width=&quot;2880&quot; data-orig-height=&quot;1596&quot;/&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;View your feeds, their posts and your selected post in the 3 pane mode. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Minimal mode:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-orig-width=&quot;2880&quot; data-orig-height=&quot;1596&quot; class=&quot;tmblr-full&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://78.media.tumblr.com/71e0619d262ee453dee8013326b68ce6/tumblr_inline_p8dklw4P9X1qleij7_540.png&quot; alt=&quot;image&quot; data-orig-width=&quot;2880&quot; data-orig-height=&quot;1596&quot;/&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Minimal is the classic display mode, no bigger changes have been made.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;All &amp;amp; Starred lists&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the new 2- and 3-pane modes it made more sense to ditch the 3 tabs at the top in favor of 2 new list items: All posts and All starred. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Faster loading of post contents&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With this release we have also made the browsing of posts significantly faster in all modes. Previously a network request had to be made to fetch the summary of the post each click, now we load the summaries together when fetching the posts. This means a blazing fast reading experience and less waiting for your news.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;It’s still very fresh&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is huge release, a lot has changed and a lot of new code has been written. We have continually been doing user testing, the feedback has helped us find issues and find new ways of thinking. (Thanks Damien! ❤️)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We’re looking forward to hearing your thoughts and reactions to the new display modes. There are probably many things we overlooked, so we believe in the near term a lot of great improvements will be added to this release.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://feeder.co/reader?utm_campaign=new_reader&amp;amp;utm_medium=blog&quot; class=&quot;btn btn-purple&quot;&gt;Try it now&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Tell your friends&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;This release would not be possible without the great support from our users and insightful feedback from our friends. It would be immensely helpful if you shared Feeder to your friends, or told an ex-Digg Reader user about the 2-pane mode.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please let us know what you think! We’re always listening on &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:support@feeder.co&quot;&gt;support@feeder.co&lt;/a&gt; or the chat in the bottom right corner of your window.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

These last couple of months have however been marked by some unplanned events like illnesses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also with &lt;a href=&quot;https://feeder.co/blog/171892371839-digg-reader-is-shutting-down-feeder-still-going&quot;&gt;Digg Reader shutting down&lt;/a&gt;, we have refocused some efforts to make Feeder a warm and comfortable home for those looking for a new stable RSS feed reader. We’re excited to announce some major releases for that soon. Stay tuned!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our trusty tech team (me, Erik) has also spent some time migrating and upgrading our servers. For the first time ever Feeder’s main MySQL server has a read replica. It means that an outage of one the main database can quickly be resolved by promoting the read replica to primary. Also improved performance. In summary: Good stuff!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Below you’ll a non-exhaustive list of closed issues.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;(Android) Release 2.2.6 fixing a couple of common crashes&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;(Web/extension) Added some more keyboard shortcuts, F to toggle simple/full mode, S to star, R to toggle Read&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;(Extension) Fix a couple of bugs with the 7.3-release in Safari&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;(Settings) Improve how feeds and folders are dragged and dropped. This should eliminate a couple of bugs people have been seeing while organizing their feeds&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;(Settings) Fix a bug where moving folders above/below other folders would not work&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;(Settings) Add an option to move many feeds/folders to folder at once&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;(Settings) Add a setting to enable HTTPS on the /reader page. The reason we have yet to add this because it can break the reading experience for sites that have not yet enabled HTTPS. We&amp;rsquo;re looking into ways to fix this, since naturally we want to enable HTTPS everywhere. Please note that all API, passwords, payment information, etc, is always sent over HTTPS.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;(Settings) Fixed some caching issues using service workers, that could make it look like you were logged into two accounts at the same time&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;(Behind-the-scenes) Rewrite post and feed list in web and extensions to use React. This will pave the way for faster and more bug free development&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;(Behind-the-scenes) A server was was leaking HTTP connections due to some bad timeout values, debugged and fixed that&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;(Behind-the-scenes) Found that loading one’s feeds was really slow with many feeds, found a series of simple fixed that reduced the time from 10 seconds to 1 second&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;(Behind-the-scenes) Upgrade to Rails 5.2 and make pull requests to a couple of repositories not yet prepared for 5.2&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;(Behind-the-scenes) Fix an extremely obscure bug where our crawler couldn&amp;rsquo;t access servers with improperly setup IPv6 support&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;(Behind-the-scenes) Spent some time looking into moving away from Phusion Passenger’s Docker images, and instead use Puma with Nginx ingress containers. Was a bit harder than I thought so paused that project&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;(Behind-the-scenes) Reduced the size of our main Docker image by 100 MB by removing assets and rubygems cache files&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;(Web) Speed up initial page load on the /reader and /dashboard views&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you ever run into any bugs, have any ideas for improvements, we’re always listening at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:support@feeder.co&quot;&gt;support@feeder.co&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
