Exit Reader View

A FreshRSS extension that adds a floating button to the reading view, returning to the normal view in one click.

Why

In the reading view the nav menu scrolls out of sight along with the article. To get back to the overview you have to scroll all the way up first, or edit the URL by hand. This adds a small control that stays put.

The current filter is preserved — leaving the reading view while looking at a single feed, category, tag or search result returns to that same selection in the normal view.

The button only appears in the reading view. It is hidden everywhere else.

Installation

  1. Download the latest release and place the xExtension-ExitReaderView directory into the extensions/ directory of your FreshRSS installation. The default branch is where work in progress lands, so a release is the version that was actually checked.
  2. Enable Exit Reader View under Configuration → Extensions.

Known limitation

The button is position: fixed, so it is drawn on top of the article. With a narrow window, or with Content width set to Wide or Full width, it can cover a small part of the text. It is deliberately kept small and semi transparent, becoming fully opaque on hover and focus.

Translations

English and German are included. The label is exposed through the JsVars hook, so adding a language only means adding an i18n/<code>/ext.php file.

Licence

AGPL-3.0, matching FreshRSS itself.

Support

If you find this useful, you can buy me a coffee.
