thejayman77 d8d665ee35 Crisp hero (prefer og:image), 7-card Highlights, no-recycle Replace + session History
- Hero blur fix: brief enrichment now prefers a page's og:image even when a
  feed thumbnail exists (feed thumbs are often tiny; the hero is shown large).
  Verified: BBC hero upgrades to the 1024px share image, ScienceDaily to 1920px.
- Today is now 'Highlights from Today' — hero + 6 (brief size 7), which also
  makes the secondary grid a balanced 3+3 instead of an orphaned 3+1.
- Replace now excludes every article seen this session (a client-side seen-set),
  so it never cycles back to something already shown.
- New session History panel (this tab only, no account): lists everything seen,
  including swapped-away stories, so they stay recoverable. Persistent
  history/favorites are tabled for sign-in later.

Tests: og:image upgrade of an existing feed image (86 total).

2.1 KiB

| = tabled for now -l = Yet to do low priority

  • = Yet to do medium priority -h = yet to do high priority
  • = completed item $ = informational

  • Ability to silence some categories temporarily (Maybe a user doesn't even want to see health-related articles, even good ones, so they're not reminded of an ongoing medical issue -- a way to avoid something purposely for a bit) [done: pause topics/flavors in Boundaries]

  • Terms to avoid list (To filter even good news that you'd rather not hear about) [done: avoid words/phrases in Boundaries] | Favorite/save articles [tabled: needs accounts/logins for a larger footprint] | Soothing background colors/gradients per each category as you scroll. Maybe a user preference. [tabled: revisit deliberately; if done, whisper-quiet translucent tints, not neon] $ I really like the coloring for the metadata highlighting in each card (The grading bubbles)

  • Some articles are behind paywalls.. what can we do? [done: domain-level paywall flag, readable hero, paywalled downweighted out of the daily five, and a "paywall-heavy" advisory source-health flag (Nature/New Scientist). Replace handles any that remain in browse.]

  • After an article is read, can we add a refresh button to fetch a replacement for it in the list? [done: "Find one I can read" / Replace swaps in the next readable article]

  • I want the top 5 to be tere, but I want the remaining categories to be hidden behing their selections. So the main screen should show just the current highlights, and then the other articles should only be visible when in that category. [done]

  • Title headings should be a little larger -- if you select Today, Today should look like a proper heading, bold and beautiful. Switching to Wondow should show "Wonder" all nice and whatnot. [done]

-l Shomehow include a daily inspirational/motivational/uplifting quote that would change each day.

  • Allow ability to forward/share articles
  • Session-only history of seen/swapped-away articles, recoverable without an account [done: History panel; Replace no longer recycles seen stories] | Persistent history + favorites with sign-in [tabled: needs accounts]
