Changelog — Gazette

What changed in Gazette, newest first. Short and honest; we don't announce what hasn't shipped.

Starter packs, OPML landing page, honest small print 14 September 2026

Start with a pack: Tech, World, Business, Science or Design in one click from onboarding or the Discover tab. Each pack lands in its own folder.
The Discover catalog grew by more than 40 feeds across Tech, Business, Science, Design and Culture.
New /opml-import page for readers arriving from Feedly, Inoreader or NetNewsWire; the button opens the import tab directly.
Terms, DMCA and Content Policy rewritten for the feed reader, with an Arabic version of each.
The landing page now says plainly that ordinary in-feed ads keep Gazette free, and that the phone apps are still in testing.
Arabic pages get Arabic titles and descriptions in search results and link previews.
Unread only is now on by default; switching it off on one feed is remembered for that feed.
Phone apps: a clearer sign-in screen with a short "How it works", and a fix for a crash when toggling Unread only.
This changelog.

Gornal is now Gazette, at trygazette.com. Same reader, a name that says what it is.
Three search pages: Feedly alternative, Google Reader replacement, and reading X without the algorithm.
About and Privacy rewritten in English and Arabic.
Sponsored cards and in-feed ads on the web, so the reader can stay free.
The homepage was rebuilt around one idea: the paper you chose, not an endless feed.

Balanced folder ordering: one busy source no longer buries the rest.
Items mark themselves read while you read them (dwell), on web and in the apps.
Magazine view is the default; list, card and a swipe-through reel remain.
Reader behaviour events (opened, read, starred) so we can see what people actually finish.
iOS and Android apps in test builds: sidebar, timeline, reel, add-feed, settings, OPML export.

Google Reader compatible sync API: NetNewsWire, Reeder, lire, Newsboat and friends can use Gazette as their backend.
Follow public X accounts, Facebook pages (best effort) and newsletters through a private inbox address.
Filter rules can mute, auto-read or auto-star; monitoring feeds search the whole catalog by keyword.
Track any web page for text changes, with an optional hourly screenshot diff.
