Description

1. Environment

  • Device: [TeraCube TeraCube_One TR1907Q]
  • OS: [Android 10]
  • APP: [0.9.8]

2. Describe the feature request

A unique UI feature of Handy Reader is a small horizontal bar under the articles in the Flow view that shows their size relative to a text size in KB you set manually.

I believe a better implementation would be sizing the bar relative to the max text size of the articles currently in the Flow View, so you can easily pick short or long articles to read first easily.

Research direction

Start at the Flow view article list and inspect how each article's text size is available. Define the bar scale using the largest article currently shown in Flow view, then verify that shorter and longer articles render with proportional bar lengths.
