Follow your favourite topics and authors

We currently support the ability to tap on an author or topic and be taken to a timeline of content featuring just that author or topic. This expansion to that feature would allow users to save those dynamically generated timelines so that they're...

Ability for users to choose whether or not they want to view double page spreads
