2026-07-23Fix crash on blank-guid articles; simplify browser back; backlog notesPeter Stone
- FeedParser: a feed with a literal empty <guid>/<id> element (confirmed live: a Mother Jones entry) produced an ArticleEntity with id = "" -- the fallback chain only checked for null, not blank, so an empty-but- present tag passed straight through. An empty-string primary key broke Navigation Compose's route matching and crashed on tap ("tapping this article crashes the app"). Fixed both RSS and Atom paths to treat blank the same as null before falling back to a link-based id. Schema v5 migration deletes any row already on-device with the bad id; it'll come back with a real, hash-based id on the next fetch of that feed. Verified live: zero blank-id rows after the migration and a fresh fetch, no crash. - BrowserScreen: back (both the system gesture and the in-app arrow) now always closes the screen directly, rather than stepping through in-page WebView history first. Reported live as not making sense for multi-page browsing (search results -> article -> another link, etc.) -- you'd have to tap back that many times just to leave. There's no separate in-page-back affordance now, matching how every other screen in this app behaves. - Tried moving swipe-to-next-article detection off Compose's gesture system entirely (a passive native OnTouchListener on the WebView, never consuming) on the theory that Compose's gesture arbitration was the source of reported scroll jerkiness. Reverted after confirming live that swipe stopped working at all with that approach -- a worse regression than unproven jerkiness. Back to the known-working Compose-based detector; the jerkiness complaint itself is still open. - BACKLOG.md: added bug-report-button, smaller-title-text, and bottom-action-strip-with-auto-hide notes.
2026-07-22Fix extraction regression on kottke; add Older view, mark-read-from-herePeter Stone
- ReaderExtractor: the un-hide-before-extracting fix (for soft paywalls like West Hawaii Today) was unconditional -- it also un-hid normal, legitimately-collapsed chrome (kottke's footer/membership notice), which Readability then folded into the result alongside the real article. Reported live with a screenshot showing the extracted content wrapped in site footer boilerplate. Now tries the normal (hidden-respecting) pass first and only falls back to the un-hide pass if that came back thin (<500 chars), keeping whichever pass actually found more text. Verified live: the same kottke article now stays clean and stable (no delayed switch to the footer version). - New Unread/Older split: the default Unread view is now clamped to the last 72 hours (RECENT_WINDOW_MS); the rest of the unread backlog moved to a new "Older" view (new FeedListScreen row, ArticleDao.observeUnread now takes a cutoff, observeOlderUnread/observeUnreadCount/ observeOlderUnreadCount added). Undated articles are kept in the main Unread view rather than silently dropped from both. Verified live: 150 recent / 1172 older, summing to the prior combined total. - "Mark read from here": long-press an article row to mark it and everything older in that same filtered list as read in one batch (re-added ArticleDao.markReadBatch, this time as an explicit, confirmed action -- not the implicit on-scroll version that was reverted earlier). Verified live: confirmed a 147-article batch: the tapped article and older were marked read, newer ones above it were not. - BACKLOG.md: added a YouTube-embeds note (JS is off in the reader WebView, so embeds currently show broken -- rough shape is a tap-to-play thumbnail rather than turning JS on for third-party content).
2026-07-22Add backlog note: feed health (recency/frequency, dead-feed detection)Peter Stone
Captured while migrating 108 feeds from Inoreader, which surfaced ~19 feeds manually flagged dead over there with no equivalent detection in this app yet. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01EZ7ikw2ukGJFTHE3bJS7zL
