Reading in Inboxt
Inboxt is designed for reading. Articles and newsletters open in a clean reader view that removes distractions and keeps the focus on the content.
Reader view
When you open an article or newsletter, Inboxt displays it in a dedicated reader view, similar to reader modes in modern browsers.
The reader view provides a focused environment for your content with several key features:
- Clean Layout: Centers content and removes ads, navigation, and other visual noise.
- Consistency: Works seamlessly for both articles and newsletters.
- Navigation: Quickly move between articles using the navigation buttons on desktop or by swiping on touch devices.
- Image Lightbox: Click on any image within an article to view it in full screen.
- Link Actions: Click on links within the article to access quick actions, such as saving the link to Inboxt, opening it in a new tab, or copying the URL.
- Reader Toolbar: On mobile devices, a bottom toolbar provides quick access to common actions like archiving, deleting, or editing the item.
- Reading Progress: Inboxt tracks your reading progress for each article and newsletter, showing a progress bar at the top and automatically restoring your scroll position when you return.
- Immersive Header: The reader view header automatically hides as you scroll down on mobile, providing a distraction-free experience.
