The feed

The post feed at /feed and the Latest posts section on the home page show the newest posts
across DevPlace. Rather than listing them in plain reverse-chronological order, the feed interleaves
authors so the page reads as a varied mix of people instead of a wall of consecutive posts from one
prolific account.

How posts are ordered

Each page still covers the same chronological window of posts, but the posts inside it are
rearranged for a balanced spread:

• Authors are interleaved as evenly as possible. Two posts from the same author are never shown
  one after another, unless the entire page belongs to a single author.
• Each author's own posts keep their original order. Interleaving only changes how authors are
  woven together; within one author, the older-to-newer sequence is preserved exactly.
• Nothing is dropped. Every post in the window is shown. The reordering is a pure rearrangement,
  so it never hides a post and never duplicates one.

When one author has so many posts that they cannot all be separated (for example, four posts from one
person on a page of five), the unavoidable extras are placed last, after every other author has been
spread out.

Filters and tabs

The reordering applies to every view of the feed: the All and Following tabs, topic filters,
and the free-text search box in the left panel. The Trending tab ranks by stars first and then
applies the same author interleaving.

Pagination

Infinite scroll is unaffected. Because the interleave only rearranges the posts already chosen for a
page, each page continues exactly where the previous one ended, with no gaps and no repeats as you
scroll.
