Discovery

Preselected and custom sources

Finding the right sources is often quite difficult. The set of preselected sources for different topics is a good starting point, and over time more sources can be discovered and added.

The most reliable update mechanism are RSS feeds, but not every source provides them. To allow as many sources as possible, it's also possible to subscribe via newsletter and website.

  • 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

Usually only a fraction of the content a source publishes is interesting. The rest must be weeded out.

The inbox exists to deal with that. It is a review area for new articles and only accepted ones go through to the library, the others are archived.

Since review is fast, it's possible to be aware of the latest developments without much time investment.

  • 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
