Your place in the log holds its ground
New commits now land above you without shoving the row you are reading out from under your eyes. Neither do the link previews and photos that finish loading a moment later.
You are a few screens into Latest when a batch of new commits arrives above you. The count in the corner ticks up, and the row under your eyes stays put, even as the link card beneath it pops from a gray placeholder into a tall preview. Before this week, that second, later growth spurt could shove your row 20.75 pixels down the page.
Credit goes to xHeaven, who built the keeper that holds your place. It watches the feed for insertions, resizes and late-loading images, remembers where the top of your reading row sits, and after each change nudges the page by the difference. Feed checks still run every 30 seconds. Click New commits and the keeper steps aside for the smooth ride to the top, then picks up again once the scroll settles. A composer you have focused stays put too.
The New commits control got the same treatment. It now counts the newest arrival as seen only when 60 percent of that row shows below the sticky tabs, and only while the tab is in front of you, so a sliver hiding behind the header no longer quietly dismisses it.
One catch. The notice judges a single row, the newest arrival, and wants 60 percent of it visible below the tabs. On a phone with a photo-heavy commit, that can be most of the screen, so your only way to clear the notice is to scroll all the way to the top.
