Reading List - Headline Edition

[green_knight]

Title:
Reading List - Headline Edition

Area:
reading list

Summary:
Give paid users access to a pared-down version of their reading list containing just posters, post titles, and tags.

Description:
So between my slow connection and a hectic week I haven't caught up with my rlist. Which now means that I have to wade through several hundred posts.

It would be awesome if I could simply load a page containing authors, headlines, and tags instead of the full list - this would reassure me that I haven't missed anything important from my dw-only friends. It would also make it easier to go back whenever I think 'I saw something on my rlist before my browser crashed/I shut down my computer' (which happens on occasion).

It would also make life easier for people using netbooks or smartphones.

Personally, I'd be happy with author/headline/tags rather than adding 140chars (or whatever - a brief chunk, anyway) - but that might be a matter for depate.

No tags, but try http://www.dreamwidth.org/mobile/read for something immediate that's possibly useful.

If this could be extended to the Network page, that'd be glorious. I'd love to look for interesting posts outside of my normal readlist without being bombarded with image-heavy rss feeds and long essays outside of cut tags.

What a cool idea!

If anyone wants it, my current style does this. Zesty also offers a similar option. I would love for it to be added as an option to all styles.

Include blurbs and I might actually use it on my phone; otherwise there's just not enough information for me to see the point in this versus DW Mobile.

It seems like something like this works against any attempt to make DW a community. The people on your reading list are supposed to be friends, or interesting, or entertaining, etc. Making it easier to skip stuff just really seems opposed to that. If you have too many people on your reading list, pick some and remove them.
