AR\ Instapaper – Google Analytics removed

~ Adi

ver. 2018.9601.4.8

Google Analytics completely removed

AcceleReader used Google Analytics to track which settings and functions were being used – to help focus developer attention on what was being used.

I have now completely removed all analytics tracking from the extension. The only network requests the extension now makes are to the Instapaper servers. Other than that, the extension does not use any network requests, ensuring any user data stays on the computer.

This also means that I shall have no insight into features that are popular, or broken. So, please share your views using the feedback link in the extension (or by going here).

AR\ Instapaper – Search articles in all folders

~ Adi
Accelereader for Instapaper - Search in all folders
Accelereader for Instapaper – Search in all folders

 

The article search in Accelereader popup now lists matching articles in all1 your folders, and not just the Home folder.

The extension still shows top 20 articles from your home folder by default. However, when searching for something, it looks through all your folders, and lists matching articles by recency.

When searching across all folders, the name of folder is displayed under the article’s title, after the website name.

Other minor updates

When an article is removed from the list on Instapaper.com (archived / moved / deleted), the focus automatically moves to next article in the list.

Fixed some other bugs, and minor background improvements.

AR\ Instapaper – *Expire* old articles

~ Adi

Having a lot of unread articles in your Home folder can present a strong mental hurdle against reading any, or even opening the app.

The new ‘expire old posts‘ feature helps by automatically moving old articles out of sight – helping reduce the stress of encountering too many unread articles when you open Instapaper.

When using Instapaper on Chrome, the articles in expired folder do not count towards unread articles count. Nor is the count of unread articles in this folder displayed.

You may use the settings on options page to manage days before articles are expired.
(Default is 90 days – approx 3 months)

Other minor update

When moving an article to another folder on Instapaper.com, selecting a folder using keyboard (up/down keys) will also scroll the selected folder into view.
