Ray Slakinski a13a797bf5 Three panes and a table, and a wash that is a wash (#10, #12) ...

ipx on a wide screen is the feed list down the left, the item table across
the top right, and the item you are reading underneath it, with a bar
between them. The native interface pushed the item over the list instead,
which is what the page does under 820px and right there, but on a Mac it
meant losing the list to read one item and navigating back. The table was
wrong too: the page has columns that each sort, and this had a stack of
rows with the same facts run together underneath the title. Both now follow
the width, and at the same 820px the page draws the line at.

Sorting a column asks the server, as the list already did. Sorting the rows
on screen would only order the fifty that arrived.

The wash (#12) drew straight seams down the window and was loud enough to
make the selected row read as bright magenta. Each gradient had been sized
into a box and then moved, and a box has edges; they fill the view and are
placed by their centre now. And they were composited with plusLighter,
which adds -- the stylesheet layers them with ordinary alpha, so its values
are for colour sitting on what is behind it rather than added to it, and
three of them added came out far brighter than Glass has ever looked in a
browser. There was a wash per pane as well, so two met at the split and the
join was another seam; there is one now, for the window.

A SwiftUI Table with a sort order needs a comparator on every column -- a
mix of sortable and plain does not compile -- so the status column sorts by
read rather than being the one that cannot.
