I'll be the first to admit that the code for /reader (and most of (b)log-In) is actually quite a mess
Some people 'talk to think' – they open their mouths and form their opinions as they talk through things, finally arriving at an answer.
That's what I'm like coding something. I won't have a plan as such, just a starting point and a rough direction. As I start to code the ideas about what to do next begin to manifest based on what I'm doing. I go from A to B to C without knowing that C was ever an option, it just becomes one as things develop.
Each feature and function leads the way to the next, and the next – because of this, that can/should/must happen. And because of this the code, is a mess as each piece is added, tacked on with the digital equivalent of sticky tape and bubblegum.
