Description

Unlike older versions of the Reader, the new version not only shows the source but also the author in the overview, together with the age of the article. The problem is that, an smaller screens, there isn't room for all this information, and so the age of the article is cut off.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Subscribe to an RSS feed that has a long name, e.g. "The Tallahassee Examiner"
  2. Look at content written by someone with a long name, e.g. "Geronimo Schwarzenegger-Shriver"
  3. See how the line is cut off at some point.

Age of the article (27 mins, or 4 days) is the most important information in that line so it should never go missing. Proposed solutions:

  1. Don't show the author in the overview (like it used to be)
  2. Make the autor optional, so it can be toggled on/off by whoever wants it
  3. Truncate the author (not sure if the app can recognise screen size), so that there's always enough room for article age
  4. Put the article age first in line so it's never cut off

Screenshots (optional)
