sounds interesting. I especially like the caching for offline reading. one question: how does this impact battery life since the app automatically refreshes the stories? is there a way to turn that off / manually refresh?

Since Firebase 2.0, network activity has improved dramatically. Also, I cache any favicons. The only problem right now is battery life because of the always on WebSocket. I'm going to add functionality to turn off auto updates soon.
