Store only an X amount of articles in the folder cache

I use the oldest article at the top and newest article at the bottom order. Some channels have many articles and it takes a lot (really a lot!) of scrolling to reach unread articles.

Make it possible to set a limit at the number of articles stored in a folder. It looks like it is now set 2 months for all folders.

Perhaps a max days per channel might perhaps work as well.

What about the option "show only unread articles"? If you don't want to see all the read articles, you could use that feature to hide them. Right now the logic is more about how many articles are on your device rather than how old they are.

Let me know if the "show only unread articles" setting already satisfies your needs 🙂

I'm looking for a read article, that I want to read again, or to forward to someone. In case of a newspaper they may publish 20 articles a day (and what seem the current setting ~ 60 days, I need to scroll down to 1200 articles). It would be nice when I could change this to e.g. 200 articles.

I hope that this request can be implemented.

I daily experience how time consuming it is to scroll down to reach the 1st unread news item.

Perhaps another possibility could be a function to jump to the first or the next unread article. With a setting that when a folder is entered, the app automatically jumps to the 1st unread article.

IIRC in Thunderbird we can delete all entries that are older than X days, except the ones marked as favorite. It was very convenient to keep the DB lean. On my device there are several thousands of articles that accumulate and that I'm never going to read, it would help in my opinion

On my device there are several thousands of articles that accumulate and that I'm never going to readA quite strange workflow in my opinion.

If an article might be interesting later (for sharing or rereading), the only deterministic solution is to mark an article as favorite. Otherwise you rely on a cache from which you don't know when the articles vanish (and the requirement would change on a per user base, between very little days up to years).

So why not just mark "interesting" articles as favorite combined with the "Show only unread news" option suggested by @David-Development ?

I got more familiar with settings. I'll "mark as read when scrolling" and show only unread (+favorite articles occasionally), thanks.

Will not work for me.

I like to read the articles by folder (same topic/source):

• Select 'show only unread articles'
• Switch to a folder -> endless scrolling to read the unread articles. As there is no possibility to set 'show unread articles only' per folder

@David-Development:

It does not look to be like that. If so, and the logic is indeed based on the number of articles, is it possible to lower it to e.g. max 200 / folder?
