Been off the Grid
Missed my invite to participate so late to the party. I can see the influence of mobile design techniques at work here and you need to be very wary changing to meet design criteria that are not yet settled. The big font is one of them - it is very irritating, especially to non mobile users, and is very irritating to read. I would stick to 10pt if you can. Maybe you can develop a localised css page we can use on a per device basis.
Beware win10 in desktop mode, a number of web designers assume win 10 is a tablet and format the screen accordingly and it drives me potty.
Overall I like the functionality. My first observation is that my list of favorited stories is missing some of the older, and thus more important entries. I misuse this list to manage series I am reading, and I think from some author comments, I am not alone.
Some authors write related stories that begin 'before reading this you must read that and the other.' Some way of linking stories so that if I have read and enjoyed this or that, I know without wasting time that the other is now here.
The story series linker also needs to be a bit more heuristic, it struggles somewhat if the author misspells a title, adds a space, isn't that adept with the shift key etc. Some times it fails completely to identify two stories in a series for no obvious reason or lists the same 20 stories twice as two series.
I will have a more detailed functionality review later.
