Phabricator tasks for 3D file (STL) support.
That sounds interesting! Is the analysis shared somewhere? I told people
about heuristic analysis and I would be very happy to have some practical
demonstration of what one can expect when I create one. (It seems less
known than testing by/with users so it is particularly helpful to have a
graspable representation)

Hello,
Here we are again. Another month, and another update from the Readers
(previously Reading) department at the Wikimedia Foundation. One more month
of these and we'll have a turkey. :) [0]
==Discussions==
=== Apps===
* Android released an update improving offline storage and Reading List
experience.
* Android began work on support the zim archive format in the app, based on
Community Wishlist request. [1]
* iOS released version 5.5.0 which includes the all new Places tab, which
focuses on geolocation based discovery. This update also improves how "In
the News" look and work, adds a more prominent search box and other
improvements.
* iOS began work on 5.6.0 which will support reading modes (specifically a
dark mode for night reading) and "On this Day" content in the feed.
* Survey results from both apps on reading lists usage was completed, with
findings available at Reading lists survey results. [2]
=== Web ===
* Moving the intro above the infobox on mobile web lead a significant
increase on performance metrics [3]
=== New Readers ===
* New Reader updates can be found at Meta [4]
=== Multimedia ===
* A UX design heuristic evaluation was conducted and results turned into
Phabricator tasks for 3D file (STL) support. A number of design refinements
are being turned into a specification. The team has been prioritizing and
working on 3D tasks in anticipation of a future launch. In the forthcoming
month, additional consultation will be done on the wikis about potential
moderation considerations for the 3D file (STL) type. [5]
