Home feed switches from a draining global list to a ranked view ordered by hot score and activity. Multiple follow-up fixes improve arrival placement, sort persistence, counts, privacy toggles, and round-robin ordering for multi-saver bursts. Extension store listings are updated and a desktop layout tweak lets the rail share the search row.
Improved
- Home feed now ranks articles instead of draining as they are readThe global feed reads from a ranks table using Reddit-style hot scoring with time decay. Articles are deduplicated across savers, arrivals are placed by score or activity, and the page no longer empties or repeats rows. Personal queues and the archive remain unchanged.
972ae32 - Hot and Shuffle rails appear on home and share the search row on desktopThe order picker sits in the same rail used by profiles. Above 701 px the rail lifts into the search trigger's slot so the two share one line; below that they stack as before.
18b474f 972ae32 039791a - Round-robin ordering prevents a single burst of saves from dominating the front pageEach person's articles are numbered within their own set and ordered first by turn, then by score. A re-saved article now climbs correctly under every sort, including desc.
e021643 7061440 f47d198 - Sort choice and shuffle seed are stored per feed and no longer written to the URLHome remembers its own sort while other lists keep theirs. The server now renders the reader's stored choice on first paint and the address bar stays clean.
972ae32 522f70a 60cf699 - Updated store listing copy for Chrome, Firefox, and SafariPUBLISH.md and the three manifest files now contain the current front-page and handle text.

Fixed
- Privacy toggle and batch read marking no longer freeze the serverBoth operations now recount in slices and fire without awaiting the result. The flag itself hides or reveals content immediately.
972ae32 1e18511 f47d198 - Arrival placement, subtitle updates, and empty-state timing are more reliableRows are inserted by the order they will actually land, duplicate subtitles no longer flicker, and cleared queues show the celebration even in hidden tabs.
