@chockenberry I know it may sound like sacrilege, but have you considered adding an option to Tapestry to reverse the scrolling direction in your feeds (i.e., to show posts in chronological order)? Many of my RSS feed items end up being taller than my screen, so I have to scroll past them three times:

- Once to get to the top of the post.
- Once to read to the bottom of the post.
- Once to go back up past the top of the post to see the next one.

@chockenberry In addition to all the wasted motion, this could also ruin spoilers at the end of some posts in Expanded view because your eyes will naturally skim the final sentences before you ever see the start of the post. Obviously this has always been an issue with reverse-chronological feeds on social media, but it’s more pronounced with the longer posts allowed/encouraged by an omnivorous feed reader like Tapestry.

@chockenberry Another advantage to a chronological feed is that you could show RSS feed items in their entirety in Expanded mode—rather than hiding them behind a More… link—because you can continue to scroll down past them to the next post anyway.
