Inbox

The inbox is the place where new content lands. Whenever a subscribed source publishes new content, it shows up here. The purpose of the inbox is to find interesting content among everything that was published, and bookmark it.

It is optimized for one specific workflow. To scroll down to the end, bookmarking interesting content along the way, and upon arrival at the end, use the "dismiss all" button to remove the rest.

Bulk dismissing

The "dismiss all" button on the bottom-right of the inbox dismisses all currently visible content. Except for items that were bookmarked or archived before. These items will stay bookmarked or archived.

The "dismiss seen" button appears after scrolling down. It dismisses only items that were scrolled past. It also ignores items that were bookmarked or archived before, same as the "dismiss all" button.

Filtering

There are multiple ways to filter content in the inbox. The "dismiss all" button only dismisses new content that's currently visible. Bookmarked, archived, and content that doesn't match the filter criteria are not dismissed.

Source

Clicking on the source name opens the list of sources. Only sources that currently have new content are shown. By selecting a source, the inbox will be filtered to only show content from that source.
