Separate Reader Settings from Account Settings

Task

Keep the Reader Settings popup focused on reading presentation while the Settings page remains focused on account/application settings.

Reader settings belong in the Reader context:

  • theme
  • font
  • size
  • line height
  • content width

Account settings can contain identity and application-level preferences.

Do not duplicate the same controls in both locations.

Test

Open Settings from the global sidebar and Reader Settings from the Reader.

Confirm each surface has a clear purpose and changing Reader presentation does not unexpectedly change account information.

Checkpoint

Readly has a clean distinction between account settings and contextual Reader preferences.

Module Complete

The Reader is now personalized and persistent. Module 10 will replace the remaining Home mock data with real activity and Library information.
