Foragd October 2026 Update

A quick summary of updates to Foragd for September 2026

A quick update post summarizing the updates in Foragd for October 2026. This month has been a lot more backend work; adding various testing and performance improvements to make Foragd less buggy and more performant.

What’s new in this update:

• Subscription Hues: Subscriptions now have a distinct hue associated with them, which is used in various parts of the interface to add a small visual difference and create associations between subscriptions and articles more easy to see.
• Language filter: You can now filter by the language of the subscription or article.

UX & UI Improvements:

• Card visual refresh: The subscription and article cards have had a visual refresh and display more information. You can now see indicators for any article filtering you’ve applied on subscription cards, and whether there are articles with geo information. There is a button to take you to the feed’s website as well.
  • Subscription Card Screenshot.
  • Article Card Screenshot.
• Reworking imports: Importing via OPML has been greatly overhauled. You now start an import and it is processed in the background. There is a status page you can check on the progress, and new subscriptions will show up as they are added and updated. Any import errors are clearer as well.
• Bulk unsubscribe: You can now bulk unsubscribe from multiple selected subscriptions on the subscriptions settings page.
• Subscription category management: When adding or editing a subscription, you can now choose from a set of standard categories, as well as adding your own. Using the standard categories can help avoid a categorization explosion and typos, as these are consistent and stable across all subscriptions.
• Grid layout and scroll restore improvements: the grid layout of subscription/article cards is more robust and your scroll position is restored more accurately when navigating back.
• Mark read while browsing: If you have “Mark Article Read on View” enabled in the display settings, then browsing through articles with the next/previous buttons will automatically mark the articles as read.

Backend Improvements:

• Foragd has gotten smarter about fetching images for articles. This should mean less chance of a placeholder image being used and a richer display in articles.
• I’ve been implementing more robust testing of the application, from backend to frontend, to capture more bugs and issues before they hit you.
