Can you make a PR to merge this into the other PR? Otherwise we have two for the same code.

In my personal opinion, this does not look good and the nowrap/ellipsis was done on purpose. I don't want my list items to grow vertically just because my screen is to narrow. I am also not aware of any other application where this is the case.

Is this for the list or the detail?

Good question, I thought it referred to the list

Sorry for the delay in replying. Github seems to have stopped notifying me about replies.

Anyway, this was a css change for the list content on the left. I've found in using the news application, that it's easier to use the app on my phone as the strict cutoff of titles in the web app makes for a frustrating experience. My use case is not using the article view much, but scanning content via the list and if it's something I'm interested in, clicking (until keyboard shortcuts are enabled at least) into the article content at the orginal source. Thus, I'm more interested in the list view, and would be content to hide he article view.

In coming from google reader and feedly, the list is the main content, and the full article view pops out below it.

You can get to the site for the article quickly this way, and if you expand the content, it is displayed in line with the main list view

The list view as the main content makes it easier to scan through a large folder of feed updates without having to click into each one, while the cut off of titles makes this more frustrating.

I'm not intending to demand big changes, but if this makes sense perhaps there could be a settings page to toggle between display layouts to emulate other rss readers? I'm not super comfortable with the codebase or vue enough to have high confidence of pulling this off myself, but I'd be happy to help as time allows.

Here's what the news phone app displays vs what you see via the news web interface.

These were taken on my phone, but on a larger display the same missing information from lack of titles persists.
