Error when browsing new entries about feedhq HOT 2 CLOSED

Yes. Agreed it's misleading but the "previous" / "next" buttons behave
differently if you come from the list of all entries or only the
unread entries. If you come from /unread/, it'll always show the
previous / next unread item.

The idea behind this is I can go to /unread/, click on any entry then
on any previous / next link and when the prev/next buttons disappear
know I've read everything. I'm open to suggestions on how to improve
this.

When browsing unread entries, clicking on "previous" doesn't display the previous entry you just read. What seem to happen is that the "previous" link (mapped to the left arrow) displays the previous unread entry.

Is this the intended behaviour?

So, you seem to discuss two different things here:

• only navigating new items (even when displaying "previous" entries)
• have a visual feedback about the feeds that are yet to read.

The first one is not a use case for me; if it's a use case for you then that's probably just fine, yet misleading (because that's not "previous" in the sense "the one you just read", but the previous unread one (so one you haven't seen). Do people want to browse their feed in a specific order?

Otherwise, we could consider "next" to display the first unread links, timeline-wise. So for instance, if you have this list of entries 4 entries (Entry{1,2,3,4}) and you are currently viewing Entry3, then hitting next could display Entry1, then Entry2, then Entry4.

At any moment, when hitting previous, it would display the previous read entry. When starting to read entries, the previous link would be empty.

The visual feedback is also covered with what I'm proposing here: once you don't have anything to read anymore, there isn't any "next" link.
