Rather display connection and other errors in an overlay or popup

Currently when Feedly runs into a connection problem while updating, it redirects to "Feedly offline" page. This is quite frustrating when some items have already loaded, and I'm halfway through reading an article-especially in conjunction with 'unread only'. This forces me to reload Feedly, enable read articles and search for the item I was busy reading.
A far better solution would be a popup or overlay indicating there was a connection error, and prompting the user to reload or continue reading whatever is already loaded.
