Discussion
Big divide in the original readers
- is it an inbox where you have to read every item
- or more like a stream that lets you dip in and out
- a hybrid
What do we want an Indie reader to do?
- read feeds - rss/atom, h-feed, twitter/fb/silos
- inbox/stream
- actions: share/reply/repost/upvote/fave/bookmark/rsvp
- works on a phone
- hide/block/mark as spam
- mark as read
- grouping (shane posted this photo on x, y, z rather than as separate items)
- volume control per feed - filters
- mailbox rules
- full content in the reader
