- Implemented the feature, showing or hiding hidden stories, only offering it if there are some.
- I used the “all” icon in the menu as a placeholder; please provide one you’d prefer.
- Since the crusty old menu mechanism doesn’t handle dynamic items well, I took this opportunity to migrate the feed detail menu to the block-based MenuViewController mechanism, resulting in significant code reduction.
- Enhanced MenuViewController to support the theme controls etc, so other menus can be more easily migrated next time they need to be updated.
When there are changes, the “Show Changes” button appears before the date, like on the web. Tapping loads and displays the changes, and the button changes to “Hide Changes”, which works without loading. The insertion and deletion highlights support style-appropriate colors.
- Now doesn’t use estimated row heights, since that seemed to cause the jitter.
- Increased efficiency by caching row heights.
- The cached row heights are reset when reloading the table etc.
- Fixed offset short stories.
- Moved autoscroll controls closer to bottom on iPhone or compact.
- Moved autoscroll controls between traversal buttons on regular iPad.
Improved it so interactive back gesture works when the navigation bar is shown, or when scrolling between stories vertically. As you originally pointed out, scrolling between stories horizontally conflicts with the back gesture.
It is using the system gesture, so I can’t change the gesture behavior.
The autoscroll controls will now hide with the traversal when scrolling. They still appear on tap, or when going to a new story, to make it easy to re-enable scrolling. Of course, they never appear if set to manual scrolling.

- Added a "Restore position" preference in the "Reading Stories" group, with options to restore the previous state on launch always, within a specified interval, or never.
- When within the indicated interval, the app restores the feeds, feed detail, and story selections and scrolling positions.
- The active story is marked unread to ensure it remains available for restoring, and re-marked read when resumed.
- NOTE: only supported on iPhone for now. I’ll add iPad support later.

- Pinch in gesture in a story to force the nav bar to show when hidden for full screen or autoscroll.
- Pinch out gesture to hide it if appropriate.
- Form sheet Safari presentation now only on iPad.
- Responsive swipe is covered by another issue.
I really like this feature!
- Added a segmented control to the story detail menu (in the previous commit).
- When autoscroll is on, the story scrolls automatically.
- Tapping the story when autoscroll is on now shows a small overlay with buttons to turn off autoscroll, pause/resume scrolling, go slower, or go faster.
- The overlay auto-hides after a moment.
- Uses full-screen, even if not separately enabled.
- The user can still manually scroll, and it keeps autoscrolling from there.
- It stops autoscrolling when reaches the bottom.
- When going to another story, the autoscroll overlay briefly appears (if enabled), so the user can resume autoscroling, but it doesn’t resume automatically.
