Feature: Google Reader API (mobile reader integration)

The Google Reader API is a specification that is implemented by many products in the feed reader space. With this API many existing products, for example mobile readers like Reeder 5 or Fiery Feeds, can connect to and show content stored in Lighthouse.

You can enable this in Settings -> Integrations.

Improvement: Hide ignored elements in search

Items that are moved to the archive straight from the inbox are marked as ignored. This allows a distinction of articles that were read and the ones that were not.

In search it's not possible to filter out ignored items.

Improvement: Twitter links are now embedded

If the URL is a link to a tweet, then the tweet is embedded in the reading view.

Bugfixes and improvements

• UI fix: The inbox count in the sidebar updated a couple seconds after archiving or bookmarking items, this is now immediate.
• UI fix: In the library, sometimes the list of views and the current item count wouldn't show up. This is now fixed.
• UI fix: Some items showed a dot next to another dot, without any information in between. This doesn't happen anymore.
• UX improvement: The library has now also an Archive all button.
• Feed parsing fix: Some items included HTML special characters (e.g. &). Now these special characters are properly converted to text.
• Feed parsing improvement: Some feeds include a URL with a client-side redirect, these redirects are now followed to get to the actual website (specifically Google Alert feeds).
