Coming next
Here’s what’s coming to Newsairy — plans can shift, but this is where things are headed.
1.08.0 — Reading Flow
Two new time-based Smart Feeds join the existing 24/48/72-hour views: Last 7 days (a rolling week) and This week (from the start of the current week to now). The week’s first day follows your device’s region by default, but a new Settings → Calendar option lets you override it to Saturday, Sunday, or Monday.
Clearing what you’ve read is now more precise. Alongside the existing Mark All as Read, the article list adds Mark All as Read in feed and, when you’re browsing a folder, Mark All as Read in folder — so you can catch up one source at a time. The same actions are available from the folder’s context menu in the sidebar. Read History no longer shows these options, since everything there is already read.
Finally, article sorting comes to the list. Beyond the default Newest first, you can switch to Oldest first or to the Daily timeline, which keeps the most recent day on top but lists each day’s articles from oldest to newest — so you read each day in the order things actually happened.
1.09.0 — Read as You Scroll
A new Mark as Read on Scroll option lets the list clear itself as you read: articles are marked read once they scroll past the top — no tapping, no swiping. It keeps up even with fast flings, so nothing slips past unmarked, and it resets cleanly when you switch filters so it never touches what’s still off-screen. Turn it on in Settings → Behaviour; it’s off by default.
Articles look better across more feeds, too. Some sources didn’t show a cover image before — now Newsairy finds those images and shows them as a thumbnail in the list and a hero image in the preview.
Under the hood, unread counts are noticeably faster and scrolling is smoother, especially on large feeds.
Beyond
What comes after that? I’m thinking about more aggregators and more customisation options — but nothing is set in stone yet. If you have ideas, needs, or use cases you think could be interesting, I’d love to hear them. Send me an email at qebapps@gmail.com.
