Notes on rebuilding my feed reader (again)

Third rewrite. Same UI, different engine. I keep arriving at the same shape: a list, a column, a single quiet keystroke for 'next'.

Third rewrite. Same UI, different engine.

What I kept

The keyboard model. j and k for next/prev. Space to mark read. That is the whole app.

What I threw away

Categories. Folders. Search. None of it survived contact with how I actually use the thing.

The single keystroke

Everything else is a list, a column, and one quiet keystroke for ‘next’.
