Quiche Reader1.8 - App Store

FOR OVERWHELMED READERS.
With traditional read-it-later apps, you often end up wasting time scrolling and managing a long and daunting list of articles where you cannot tell anymore what is worth reading. Ultimately, you get backlog anxiety, you stop opening the app, and you have read nothing.

To solve this, Quiche Reader only shows you the first article in your queue. You must read, archive, or delete it, before reading the next one. You can cheat a bit and snooze an article to push it to the back of the queue, but only three times per article.

Quiche Reader removes the anxiety of decision making. It only shows the first article in your queue, and helps you decide to read or delete it, before you can proceed to the next one in line.

LET GO OF WHAT YOU DON’T NEED TO READ.
Quiche Reader encourages you to let go of articles you haven’t read for 30 days, and those you keep postponing reading.

UNINTERRUPTED READING EXPERIENCE.
Swipe to archive an article, and the next one in your queue appears instantly, with no loading time.

NEW STUFF IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER.
Your oldest saved articles are presented first so that they won’t be left forgotten at the bottom of the queue.

SAVE ARTICLES FROM ANYWHERE.
Save articles from any app and web browser on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Quiche Reader for Mac is available on the Mac App Store.

AND READ THEM ANYWHERE.
Quiche Reader is also available on the Mac App Store.

PRIVACY RESPECTFUL.
No sign up required, you can start using Reading Queue right away. Your queue and archive are stored in your private iCloud storage. It is also ad-free and does not track what you read. Please keep your personal data for yourself.

PRAISED AND LOVED.
“The point isn’t to read less, but more. Instead of wasting time picking which article to read, or getting so overwhelmed that you switch to Instagram, you’ll hopefully find your groove with Reading Queue.”
- Nick Douglas, Lifehacker, Jan 2019

“It has gradually become an indispensable part of my reading routine. Although pretty minimalist, it solves an essential issue that many reading services fail to do - make you go back to your reading list. I highly recommend it.”
- straydogpalace on App Store Ukraine

“Clean and to the point. Excellent! I love the no-clutter approach, it's just what I needed.”
- vvvaporclouds on App Store Portugal

“Wow, just wow. The app is super easy to use and makes my reading habits more structured and simpler.”
- Bert Q on App Store Austria

“Love the simplicity of it. Now part of my workflow.”
- Count Baltar on App Store UK

“This is really well done. This might be the first read it later service I'll actually use. Really like how it isn't just an overwhelming list.”
- Bob W on Designer News

“This is INCREDIBLE! I've had similar issues with Pocket/Instapaper/Safari/Etc. in the past, and this is exactly what I've been looking for. The UX is super well done. It jumps you in and gets you started right away, and keeps you focused on the task.”
- Zachary B on Designer News

“If you're drowning in articles you saved to read later, Reading Queue is a really neat new iOS app.”
- @PonchoRebound on Twitter

“Been beta testing this and have found it surprisingly effective at actually reading all the things I save for later. Love a well done single-purpose app.”

• The estimated reading time is back.

CHANGES

• Alerts now encourage you to delete old articles, instead of archiving them.
• Google Analytics has been removed.

FIXED
• In the menu, buttons sometimes responded only after the second tap. (If you miss this very old and infuriating bug, send me a message and I’ll consider re-adding it.)
• Tapping a link was replacing the original page in queue.
• Disabling JavaScript in settings did not properly apply to the current article.
• The settings screen could sometimes not be closed with a swipe down gesture.
• The share extension didn’t work properly in some conditions. 1.5 05/16/2021 Big news! You can finally read your queue and archive on desktop, with the shiny new Reading Queue for Mac available on the Mac App Store.

NEW
• If you notice sync issues between your devices, you can attempt to fix them with a force sync from the Settings screen.

FIXED
• A very unpleasant sync issue where a page you archived was added back to the queue. 1.4.2 01/09/2020 NEW

CHANGES
• The icons for the "Open in Safari/Chrome" actions in the share menu have been adjusted to fit the new iOS 13 style.

CHANGES

To make further development easier and faster, Reading Queue now requires iOS 13.
However, you can keep using Reading Queue 1.3 on your devices on iOS 12. 1.4 09/21/2019 iPad support and iCloud sync!

A lot of work went into this release, and I would love to hear your feedback. Feel free to reach out to me directly from the Settings screen, by email, Twitter, Instagram or App Store reviews. I’m a very nice guy and I answer every message! Thank you :)

NEW
• iPad devices are now fully supported, included Slide Over and Split View modes. This means that while reading you can take notes in another app (gooood) or browse Twitter (baaaad.)
• Your queue and archived pages are now backed up and synced across all your iPhone and iPad devices where Reading Queue is installed.

Two very important notes about this:
1. All your data is stored ENCRYPTED in your PRIVATE iCloud space, which means that ONLY YOU and NO ONE ELSE can access them, not even Apple or the developer of this app (THAT'S ME.)
2. From the Settings screen, you can turn this off and erase everything from your private iCloud space.

• The next page in the queue is now preloaded in a more power efficient way, putting page rendering and web animations on hold until it appears on screen.
• All gestures and transitions between pages (when archiving, snoozing, etc.) have been rebuilt or improved, thanks to a new animation engine rewritten from the ground up.

CHANGED
• So it turns out that the read time calculation left for summer holidays without leaving a note. Unfortunately, the third-party service Reading Queue was using to process web pages content has been shut down, which took me off guard. Rest assured read time calculation will be back and even better in a future release. My sincere apologies for this mishap.
• When long-pressing a link to add it to the queue, the notification banner is more readable.
• On iPhone X, XR and XS devices, if “Taller Content Area” is disabled in Settings, you can scroll back to top with a single tap at the top of the screen, instead of two. (Merci Riomar!)

FIXED
• The joy-sparking alerts recommending to throw away an old page were reappearing every time the app was resumed or the settings screen dismissed. Gosh that was annoying.
• During introduction, the instructions displayed on top of the share menu were cut off for owners of the cute iPhone SE, but they are now scrollable.
• The Undo menu item was always on even when unarchiving was not possible.
• The Archive screen was crashing the app in some conditions, which, admit it, was pretty entertaining. 1.3 07/25/2019 Minor design fix. 1.2.2 04/07/2019 FIXED
• URLs containing accented characters could not be loaded or saved from the share extension.
• Using the share extension in Feedly was freezing the app.
• The Help and What’s New pages were sometimes not properly refreshed. 1.2.1 04/06/2019 Mostly changes under the hood in this release, to prepare for the upcoming iCloud sync and desktop browser extensions (finally) coming in May.

NEW
• Pages saved from the share extension are now added to the BOTTOM of the queue. Let's get rid of our oldest saved pages! Pages saved before this update will not be reordered.
• A page cannot be added twice to the queue anymore.
• The total read time is calculated a bit faster.
• Minor design and copy changes, notably “Read Next” was renamed to “Move to Archive.”

FIXED
• The page title did not update properly on some websites like Medium or YouTube.
• The settings screen would hang or crash while calculating the total read time.
• And as if this was not enough already, an ugly memory leak was discovered. 1.2 03/31/2019 Fixed a very embarrassing issue where the third and last screen of the first-time experience was not displayed after enabling the share extension. 1.1.2 12/08/2018 This release adds new ways to encourage you to get rid of the pages you procrastinate NOT reading, among other niceties.

NEW
• Pages can now be snoozed only up to three times.
• A nudge message is displayed to encourage archiving pages saved more than 30 days ago.
• An URL copied from another app can be added directly to the queue, without using the share menu.
• Pages can be opened in Safari or Chrome from the share menu, if you’re into that kind of thing.
• The help page lists up all the different ways to add pages from Safari, Chrome, Apple Mail, Twitter, and Facebook.
• The preferred text size defined in iOS Settings is applied throughout most parts of the app.
• The first-time experience has been completely revamped for new users (ie. this is not you.)

FIXED
• The settings screen could sometimes crash when calculating the total read time. Surprisingly, this was not intended.
• Some buttons in the settings screen were not properly aligned and sometimes their color changed after tapping them. The nightmare is over now. 1.1 12/03/2018 Minor changes. 1.0.5 11/15/2018 Some confusing parts of the first-time experience were improved or removed. 1.0.4 11/07/2018 Read Next gesture and animation are now smooth as butter. 1.0.3 11/06/2018 1.0.1 11/03/2018
