Not going to lie, I really love the subscriptions page in Sublime Feed. So nice.
Super happy to have moved Sublime Feed to its own server using Kamal Deploy. I did feel a little on the edge and thought about going down the easy route again — some scenarios in my head telling me "but you can't do anything without a laptop when you're away". Happy to have earned my wings here — LFG!
Howdy, sorry for the incredibly brief downtime just now. Hopefully it was just for a second or so. In preparation of launching I moved the project to a dedicated server so that it can grow and not cause any issues with the server it shared (it was sharing with Scribbles). Hopefully everything came across A-OK. Please let me know if you see any issues with your account.

Well, approaching 4AM — figured out my Kamal issues. Looks like it couldn't fetch the correct credentials for S3. Yikes! I am old school and use a .env file, but moving to the correct Rails credentials seems to have done the trick. NICE!
Well, I finally got something working with Kamal Deploy. Just gotta figure out why I can't config `config.active_storage.service` to anything other than `:local` — seems like I am hitting a `ArgumentError, "missing required option :name"` — storage.yml is set up correctly and so are the secrets.
• 👾🧹🐛 Tweaked the way you can sort your pinned feeds. Now you have to hover over it, which will reveal a drag bar, and you can move it from there. Previously the whole section would trigger a drag which didn't work so well on touch devices. I prefer the way this works. • 👾 Tweaked some font sizes.
• 👾 When using Sublime Feed as an installed web app (Progressive Web App/PWA) there is now a back button on the reader mode to take you back to the previous screen. You can always swipe back to go back also. In addition to that, there is also a refresh button on the main feed page that will reload the feed page for you — sometimes it feels it takes too long for the PWA to update if it comes back to the same screen (I kinda like that though, but let's see). • 🐛 Tweaked a couple of things...
• 🐛 Fixed an issue where a favicon of some feeds would throw an error message. Hopefully this will solve it for most.

Made some minimal tweaks to the Sublime Feed homepage. Ideally I'm slowly ramping up to launch to more people, so feel free to email me if you want to give it a try. Planning end of November for general sign ups. There are some minor things I'd like to add before that... and then build on that foundation going forwards.
• 👾 Pinned feeds are now sortable. Just drag and drop to set the new position. • 👾 When viewing a feed it'll now also display the favicon, if it has one, above the title. • 🐛 Fixed an issue that would cause long loading times on a new feed that has a lot of images across many posts. • 🐛 Fixed an issue that would cause an error where an image was loaded without the correct URL. • 🛠️ Tweaked the way images are cached and displayed so not to cause huge CPU spikes.
I don't know why, but I reactivated my old Fitbit Inspire 2. I hadn't used it for months and Today I was motivated to wear it again. 🤷♂️

Wow, so many improvements in the last week for Scribbles... Thank you Vincent! 👍
