Am I the only one who has a problem with having to scroll up in infinite-scrolling apps? My eyes are constantly going up and down, and I find it very tiring.

I’d love it if apps like @ivory, Tapestry (@Iconfactory), and Reeder (@rizzi) offered an option to reverse the scroll direction.

Diagram comparing eye movement patterns between two mobile feed layouts. The left screen shows a traditional newest-to-oldest feed with eyes following a downward scrolling pattern. The right screen shows an oldest-to-newest feed with eyes following the opposite scrolling direction. Red arrows indicate the different reading flows in each layout.
