Over the past week, we have silently updated the site with one of the most requested features so far. Basically, if you login, we are now keeping track of articles you have read and showing you only fresh articles. When we first rolled out this update, it did not work that well, but over a period of time, culminating a few days ago, we finally fixed all remaining issues and ensured that it works consistently in a stable manner.
While we were implementing this, we realized that lots of users may not want to login and just want it to just work. For such users, we now keep track of articles in a temporary manner. I.e., when you visit our site, as long as you are on it continuously, we keep track of read articles. If you are away for more than 2 hours, then the information is lost, but effectively, we will "remember" your read articles for atleast 2 hours since the time you stopped browsing on our site.
Further updates will be rolling in real-time because we are constantly testing the site and fixing any issues and improving features which we find lacking.
Hope you have a good weekend folks!
