- Redesigned the Add Feed and Feeds Found sheets with a cleaner Liquid Glass look, clearer primary and cancel actions, and a stable in-progress search state.
- Improved feed discovery so generic XML documents and sitemaps are no longer treated as feeds, and full searches stop after a bounded set of candidates.

- Added additional stability and maintenance improvements for the 1.8 release.

- Improved iCloud reliability so failed startup sync fallback no longer leaves the app stuck showing an indefinite in-progress state.
- Improved CloudKit recovery by detecting stale mirroring sessions and clearing sync states that stop progressing.
- Improved reconnect timing so automatic iCloud recovery respects the correct retry backoff window and resumes sooner when recovery is allowed.
- Kept the current article list visible while feeds refresh in the background, so you can continue reading without the list disappearing mid-sync.

- Improved feed organization with feed renaming from sidebar context menus, better drag-and-drop handling, and faster recovery when moving or deleting subscriptions.
- Improved startup behavior so cached feeds stay visible while iCloud sync finishes, and the app can show clearer guidance when sync is healthy but no downloads are needed yet.
- Improved OPML importing on iPhone and iPad by routing imports through a document-picker bridge, and fixed document handling for App Store submission.
- Improved article reading by removing obvious ads from reader mode, fixing markdown link parsing, and keeping article IDs stable so updates do not duplicate content.
- Fixed iCloud recovery flows so disabling or reconnecting sync does not leave the app stuck, and unsubscribe and delete actions persist immediately.
- Fixed the Add Feed sheet so it does not reopen after sync completes unless you actually need to add another feed.
- Improved performance for feed snapshots, article lists, and read-state updates so large libraries stay more responsive.

- Added article thumbnails with an Appearance toggle so you can browse feeds with richer previews when you want them.

- Added native OPML export on iPhone and iPad so you can save your subscriptions through the system export sheet.
- Improved feed and folder management with multi-select actions, folder deletion, duplicate-folder cleanup, and more reliable folder icon handling.
- Improved startup behavior so feed downloads begin more reliably after iCloud sync settles, and fixed cases where switching folders could show the wrong article list.
- Fixed notification badge behavior so disabling notifications clears the app icon badge immediately and re-enabling keeps it in sync again.
- Fixed the Add Feed sheet so it only auto-opens once for a fresh empty library instead of appearing again on later launches.

Features

- Added full imported font support on iOS, including Files-based font import, runtime font registration, persistence across launches, and availability inside the article and code font pickers.

- Added improved image handling for supported Blogger feeds so more embedded feed images render correctly while reading.
- Improved feed refresh performance by pushing more long-running refresh and unread-count work into background processing, reducing the chance of UI hangs during larger updates.

Bug Fixes

- Fixed duplicate article cards by deduplicating repeated feed entries before they are shown in the article list.
- Fixed the iOS Latest Updates card so it now displays the real latest feed-refresh and iCloud-sync completion timestamps, along with better empty-state messaging before the first sync.
