05/19/2023, 8:06 PMWell done Jacob.
If I may request something, it's to remove subscriptions users are not subscribed to anymore in the Subscriptions page.
For example, in the screenshot below I'm not subscribed to "Matt Navarra", but it still shows it as being a part of my subscriptions. Note: I had unsubscribed from that source before you did the change to Yakread 2.0.

05/19/2023, 8:25 PMIs that an email subscription or RSS? if RSS, definitely a bug. If email, you can click on the subscription and hit the "unsubscribe" button in yakread (if there is one) and then that might remove it, depending on what options the newsletter provides for unsubscribing behind the scenes. I'll add a backlog item for adding the ability to remove any newsletter regardless (with the caveat that the newsletter might reappear if you hide it in yakread but don't actually unsubscribe... though I could also add a blocklist so future emails from that sender will be auto-hidden. I would probably also need to then add some ui so you can view and edit the blocklist in case you want to re-subscribe to a newsletter. These details are why I punted on this ha ha.)

05/19/2023, 8:39 PMah, yep. This is one of the newsletters that can't be removed yet. I'll need to decide on how best to handle these... maybe instead of maintaining a blocklist, I'll just show a confirmation dialog and say that you need to unsubscribe manually first, and then go ahead and remove the existing emails. (And if you don't actually unsubscribe, the newsletter will show up again in your subscriptions list after the next email comes.)
So yeah, on the todo list 🙂

On an unrelated issue, I noticed that nothing happened when I clicked of my subscriptions.

05/20/2023, 4:39 PMJust fixed this. (It was related to the "open links on original website" setting--when that's enabled, I forgot to make links on the subscriptions page open on a new tab, so yakread tried to load it in the same tab. That failed because of the way I do internal page transitions, which doesn't work with external links.)

05/20/2023, 6:52 PMJust released "Pinned subscriptions"-- the subscriptions page now lets you pick a set of subscriptions which will be kept at the top of the page.
