Home and Reading Articles
The YucDu macOS app is still in development and is not yet available on the Mac App Store. This guide is based on the current development build; features and screens may change before release.
Home
Click "Home" in the sidebar or press ⌘1. Home gathers featured articles, the latest articles, articles to continue, recently read articles and category shortcuts in the list column. The exact sections and their look vary with the design style.
Clicking the search entry on Home switches to "Search".
Opening an article
Click an article in the list column to open it in the reader pane on the right. To give an article its own window, right-click its card and choose "Open in New Window" (see Windows and Layout).
The reader pane's toolbar offers:
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Table of contents | Opens the article's table of contents. (When the reader pane is wide enough, the table of contents stays next to the article and this button is not shown.) |
| Heart | Adds the article to or removes it from your favorites. |
| Aa | Changes the font size. |
| Share | Shares the article. |
When the reader pane is especially wide, an extra column with article details and related articles appears next to the article. At the bottom of each article you'll find related articles and links to the previous and next posts.
Font size
There are three font sizes: small, standard and large.
- Click "Aa" in the toolbar and choose "S Small", "M Medium" or "L Large" in the panel.
- Or use "Increase Font Size" (⌘+), "Decrease Font Size" (⌘−) and "Reset Font Size" (⌘0, back to the standard size) in the "View" menu.
The font size applies to all articles.
Jumping by headings
- Click a heading in the table of contents in the article info panel to jump to that section.
- Or use "Go > Next Heading" (⌥⌘↓) and "Go > Previous Heading" (⌥⌘↑) to move from heading to heading.
Reading progress
- A thin progress bar at the top of the reader pane shows how far you have read.
- "Progress" in the article info panel shows it as a percentage.
- When you reopen an article you have partly read, a "Continue Reading" button with the percentage appears at the bottom. Click it to return to where you left off; it disappears once you start scrolling yourself.
- Partly read articles are also listed under "Continue" in the sidebar. See Library.
Favorites
Click the heart in the reader pane's toolbar, use "Article > Add/Remove Favorite" (⌘D), or right-click an article card and choose "Add to Favorites". See Library for details.
Sharing
Click the share button in the toolbar to choose LINE, X, Threads, Facebook, "Copy Link" ("Copied" appears once it's copied), or "More" to use the macOS share menu.
You can also right-click an article card and choose "Copy Link" or "Share".
Links inside articles
- Links in an article that point to other yucdu.com articles open directly in the reader pane.
- To go back, use "Go > Back" (⌘[). It first goes back to the previous page in the reader pane, then back up a level in the list column.
- Links to other websites open in your default browser.
Unpublished articles
If an article has been unpublished or restricted on the website, the app stops showing its full text. Your favorites and reading history are kept.
