In general, development is in the support mode at the moment.
I’m fixing bugs and making little improvements:
- proxying almost everything since many sites started blocking requests from Hetzner (perhaps there are to many bots at Hetzner thanks to cheap traffic)
- improved layout on iPhone X (with rounded corners)
- improved performance of editing of the filters (people with 500 filters, 2-3k feeds each, produced considerable load when they edited filters)
- started work on open-sourcing but not yet finished it.
- implementing payments in rubles for people from Russia (Russian credit cards don’t work abroad now).
But no major new features are currently under the development.
Last year, I realized (perhaps a bit late) that there’s no future in Russia for my kids (and now there’s no present too) and started looking for ways to move abroad. I found a pretty good job in the UK and now I’m in the process of getting the visa.
Since I hope to get a full-time job soon, I’m afraid there will be no major new features in the reader. I might add something small and will keep reader running for sure. But I don’t think that something big will be added soon.
And right now I’m just too busy reading news and analytic articles, reacting to sanctions, saving business, money, and life, preparing everything needed for visa and for the move, and in general being shocked and trying to comprehend what has happened.
Who knows, maybe in future I will continue to work on the reader. Hard to give forecasts in the current situation.
