Now that the backend part is stable and robust, it's time for me to build the actual reader interface.

Since Feedstand is meant to be a traditional feed reader in the UI sense, I've built the sidebar, reader view with split-pane, source management, sign in and sign up, mark-as-read, starring, and tags.

I also rewrote item deduplication from scratch. The old approach matched items on a single identifier and kept quietly falling apart in real feeds — publishers change guids between fetches, the same item shows up under several identifiers, and what counts as "the same item" varies between sources. The new logic OR-matches across guid, link, title-with-date, and a normalized identifier hash.
