+## 2026-09-10 — Defaults and chrome
+
+* **All** is the default episode filter and the first tab; Unread, Downloaded and Flagged follow.
+  Opening a feed and seeing nothing because everything in it was read is a poor first impression.
+* **OPML import/export moved into Settings**, under a Subscriptions heading, and the OPML button is
+  gone from the sidebar -- it is a thing you do once in a while, not a daily control.
+* **The feed actions are pills with icons**, and Unsubscribe is pushed to the far end in a quiet
+  style: it sat next to Settings looking exactly like it, one slip away from losing a feed.
