I have 2 stages of news reading: The first is discovery, the second is digestion.<p>I&#x27;ve used Feedly as a backend ever since Google reader went offline to keep my lengthy RSS library usable, but never ever use the web interface, which this product reminds me of. It&#x27;s too overwhelming to have everything there all at once. 100&#x27;s of hours of reading starring at me all at once. Instead, I prefer to use android widgets across my various devices to display random snippets from across various categories which catch my eye over the many times daily I open up my phone. That&#x27;s my discovery and selection method.<p>When it comes to digestion, I will sometimes read it in pocket or some other reading app on my device to optimize that experience, but curiously am compelled to send it back to my computer for social media sharing and&#x2F;or saving&#x2F;bookmarking&#x2F;note-taking.<p>So I guess for my obscure usage pattern, having a type of dashboard or headline section that shows you LESS, perhaps using some type of popularity or personal preference metric would be a much preferable main interface. Keep feeding me more once I reed it, but it stresses me out to see LISTS and LISTS of stuff to read that I might be missing out on and don&#x27;t have time to read!
