Why
Homepage article cards show title, date, and categories but no reading time. Readers can’t gauge article length before clicking. Adding reading time helps them pick articles that fit their available time.
What Changes
- Show estimated reading time (e.g., “3 min read”) inside each blog card on the homepage
- Apply to all card types: pinned series index cards, series episode cards, and standalone cards
- Reuse the same 250 words-per-minute calculation already used on individual post pages
