Saved lists

Lists are permanent collections of articles, separate from read state and snoozes. Save an article from the chip row in the reader (one click), the More lists ▾ dropdown, or the full All lists… dialog.

Curate for others with public lists

A public list turns reader into a curation engine. You read far more than anyone you know. Make a list for a topic, save the things in it you think others would like, from any feed you follow, and share the list. Friends subscribe to your picks instead of to all your sources.

Every list can be public. A public list is an RSS feed at:

/lists/<token>.xml

Anyone with the URL can subscribe in any feed reader, no reader account involved. The ⧉ button next to a public list copies its feed URL. The token is generated with the list and is the only thing protecting it, so treat the URL as a capability. Private lists are only visible in your own UI.

The demo has one: Neat stuff, a few curiosities picked from across its feeds.

Viewing a list

Each list appears in the sidebar under Lists. Opening it shows its articles with the same day grouping, filters, and keyboard navigation as feed views. Removing an article from the list does not delete it from its feed.

Managing lists

The All lists… dialog is the management surface:

• Toggle membership for the current article (checkboxes).
• Create a new list, choosing private or public.
• Bind keyboard shortcuts per list — see Keyboard shortcuts.

The API is fully scriptable too: see HTTP API for POST /api/v1/lists, POST /api/v1/lists/:id/items, and friends. An agent can curate the same way you do: add items to a public list through the API, and everyone following the list’s feed gets them. The list token only grants read access to that feed.
