Source subscription
All kinds of sources
The most reliable update mechanism are RSS feeds, but not every source provides them. To get as much information as possible, it's possible to subscribe via newsletter and website as well.
- Adding any blog, newsletter, and website as source
- Discovery of sources beyond RSS feeds
- Conversion of website to feeds


Inbox vs library
Stress-free staying up to date
Review takes only a couple seconds. Reading, on the other hand, needs more time. This difference is why review and reading should be separate.
The inbox is a review queue that separates new articles from already reviewed ones. So it's always clear which are new and which were already sorted.
- Inbox zero workflow, always being aware of the latest content without the need to read anything
- Relaxed bookmark keeping, to read at your own pace
- Handling of many more articles without getting overwhelmed


Rules
Reduced review effort through automation
Even with impeccable inbox handling, having too many sources is still overwhelming.
Rules automate specific actions, including dismissing of unwanted articles, to increase the number of sources you can handle.
- Subscribing to a specific topic or category instead of the whole feed
- Automatic removal of uninteresting articles
- Filtering by specific keywords


Bookmark ratio
One-click identification of low-value sources
Before subscribing, it's often difficult to judge the value of a source. And it can change over time. That makes it hard to keep the list of sources up to date and high-quality.
The bookmark ratio helps by comparing the amount of bookmarked items vs. dismissed ones. It's shown on every source, and highlights what's really valuable to you.
- Quickly finding low-value sources to unsubscribe
- Evaluating sources after subscribing, instead of trying to predict the future beforehand
- Adding sources without long evaluation
