Site Feeds
Site feeds are auto-generated (AI) feeds, taken directly from the site. Each article gets a summary, and the original is just a tap away! It means that you can follow every website who has a feed-like structure even if they don't support regular feeds. Especially useful for your news and magazine subscriptions, where you quickly get updates about your most important news. Just login first and the app will store the cookies needed to authenticate with the website.
Take note: since these feeds are generated by an artificial intelligence, that actually don't know how to read - the result can be quite strange at times. It makes, on occasion, the following errors:
- Treats links to non-articles, as if they were articles - e.g. advertising, help-pages or other information.
- Misses publish-dates, and tells you that old articles are published today.
- Misses e.g. name of author and such information usually found in the end of an article (but just tap it to read the full original article)

Smaller features
Auto-purge: The app detects news feeds and automatically deletes articles older than today, so your reading list will never grow too large. Articles from non-news will be untouched. You can toggle this feature in settings > View all subscriptions (and then tapping a feed).
Mute: You can mute phrases you don't like, then a post containing that phrase will be shrunk to minimal size. One tap brings it back to normal. You may mute using plain text or "regular expressions" for all you coders out there.
Share text: You can share just the text of an article, just select share from the menu or swipe, and on the second row - scroll until "Copy text".
- Sorting: Don't forget that you can sort articles any way you like. Tap the cog to access settings.
- Shortcuts to settings. If you are reading a post and selecting "Feed Settings" in the menu, that feed is selected automatically. The same applies to delete.
