  "textContent": "Features\n\nAdded true self-hosting support\n\nSerial has been \"self hostable\" for a while, but only through the libsql host Turso. Turso is a great service if you're looking to run Serial at scale, but most people are not. You now can run Serial entirely locally, while still leveraging some of the performance benefits of libsql.\n\nCheck out the self hosting instructions to learn more!\n\nIn addition, there is now updated self-hosting documentation for a handful of platforms:\n\nVercel (only hostable through Turso)\nCoolify (hostable through either).\n\nAdded a dedicated feed management page\n\nDealing with lots of feeds in Serial can be cumbersome, so there is now a much more efficient feed management page accessible through the feeds sidebar (or at this link). This page allows you to:\n\nBulk remove any number of feeds\nClear the categories from any number of feeds\nEdit the categories for any number of feeds\n\nImprovements\n\nBetter PWA support\nWhile not perfect, this should allow for reading articles in gaps between service (e.g. while on a train)\nUpdated toast location on mobile to avoid annoying UI overlap between the toast and bottom sheets\nBetter data fetching/revalidation right after an .opml import\nFixed an issue where account data would sometimes get orphaned on deletion",
