## Features
- **River of news**: all unread articles in one flat list, auto-marked as read as you flip through them one by one
- **Offline reading**: article content and images are cached locally so you can read without a connection
- **Image caching**: images are pre-fetched after each reload; skipped on metered connections unless enabled in preferences
- **Offline sync**: read/unread state changes made offline are queued and pushed to the server next time you're online
- **Persistent state**: the article list, selected article, and scroll position are restored when you reopen the app
- **Dark mode**: follows the system color scheme automatically
- **Keyboard navigation**: vi-style shortcuts for hands-free reading
- **Zoom**: adjustable content zoom, persisted across restarts
- **Fullscreen** and toggleable sidebar
