Food for thoughts. /at Stanford d.school /via John Lilly’s Tumblr. -Edwin
[Note: you can install the new feedly on iOS, Android, Kindle, Chrome, Firefox and Safari]
1) Feeling lost in the concept or navigation?
Start by thinking of feedly as a simple mobile browser. Open the explore panel by tapping on the top right search icon and search for your favorite blog or news website. Feedly should load the content of that site as a set of “cards”. Swipe through the cards until you find an article you like. Tap on the article to expand it. Read. Repeat this experience and see if you like the experience. If you do, start personalizing feedly (see point #2).
2) Search your favorite topics and add your favorite sites.
Feedly is all about personalizing your sources and customizing your news deck! A wide variety of content and media can be added, from blogs and news sites to magazines to Youtube channels to Google News topics. More than 18,000,000 awesome sources can be added. For example, if you want to add gizmodo to feedly, you can search for gizmodo (title) or #gadgets (topic) or http://www.gizmodo.com (website url) or even http://feeds.gawker.com/gizmodo/vip (rss feed url)
3) Feedly Mini, the sidekick for smarter browsing on the web. desktop only
Many times we stumble upon great content while browsing the web or exploring links shared by friends. The feedly mini icon appears at the bottom right of your Chrome or Firefox window when you install feedly desktop. It is the easiest way to connect and stay in touch with the site!
4) Sort your categories. desktop only
The way you organize your categories on the feedly desktop navigation bar defines the order in which the categories are displayed in the today section and the mobile navigation bar. So if you want to re-order things to reflect your interests, go to feedly desktop, drag and drop to re-order and then reload feedly mobile.
5) Different views for different sources.
Not all sources are meant to look the same! The list view works best for dense sources or efficiency-minded users. The cards view enhances visual content and slower reading. The magazine view bring a balance between text and visuals. Sources and categories can be individually set or you can pick a default view for all sources in the advanced settings.
6) Night and Day. mobile only
Choose between a dark background (night theme) or white background (day them). These options are available in the mobile advanced settings panel.
7) Make the most out of Today.
Some sources are must-reads to you and all of their posts should be bubbled up in your Today page. Other sources are so prolific only the latest or most popular items should make it to the Today page. That is why the option “Showcase more in Today” is useful: it will bump up the content of that source in the Today page.
8) Use Buffer for smarter sharing.
Feedly already lets you easily share articles with your twitter, Facebook and Google+. But for those us “heavy sharers” buffer is an awesome extension. The trickling feature of buffer allows you to read and share while you do your reading but the articles are delivered throughout the day to avoid punctual over sharing. Your friends and followers will love you for this!
9) Be vocal. Participate to the roadmap.
We work very closely with the feedly community to plan the roadmap of the feedly monthly releases. If you have creative ideas on how to improve the feedly experience. We would love to hear about them. See the feedly uservoice for more information.
If you are an advanced feedly user and have tips you would like to share to the community, please leave a comment.
If you are a new feedly user and have a question which is not address in this document, please send us an email to care@feedly.com.
Here is a great presentation from Braden Kowitz on optimizing the design process. Lot of insights around empathy and the importance of testing often and early. Arthur has been putting a very similar process in place this year when we designed the new feedly mobile.

It available now and continues to be free:
Apple App Store
Google Play Store
Special thanks to all the beta testers who have been working behind the scenes over the last three months to help polish the experience. We love you for all insight and suggestions you provided.
[Update] We are working on a couple of priority 0 issues reported over the last couple of days:
Issue #1: if you use Google 2-factor authentication, then you will need to create an application specific password to be able to login to feedly. Feedly will remember it. We are working on using OAuth2 to avoid this in the next release.
Issue #2: The application crashes on iOS 4.x. The work around is to upgrade to iOS 5.1. If that is not an option, we will have a build out within the next 10 days which addresses this issue.
If you run into an issue, we are here to help: log an issue

We have been working over the last 9 months on a new version of feedly mobile. We are performing a set of previews before pushing the build to Google Play. Join the party. Have a sneak peek and help us improve feedly before the release!
Gestures. we spent some time simplifying gestures in this new release. here is a quick overview.
[Update. Crunching through the feedback as it comes in. Compiling list of things people like and the things they would like to be fixed in the next iteration of the beta. This is *very* useful. Thanks you!]
Spent the day with Arthur at the 500-startup #unsexy conference. Some really great talks. Here are some notes.
Rashmi Sinha, CEO, Slideshare
Really like the focus on doing one thing but doing it really really well and being opinionated (not just data driven).
Aaron Levie, CEO Box
Aaron reminds me of Marc Andreessen in his early day.
Ben Chestnut, CEO MailChimp, @benchestnut
Great design about MailChimp design philosophy. The service has a great personality around #creativity.
Hiten Shah, CEO KISSMetrics, about B2B distribution

On tuesday, we pushed out the first beta of feedly 10 desktop. We received a lot of feedback and suggestions on Facebook, twitter and get satisfaction (thanks!). Today, we are pushing out a patch (build 10.0.431) which addresses some of the most pressing issues:
We pushed 10.0.431 out to all feedly xt users. If no P0 issues are reported tonight, we will push the update to all feedly app users, safari users and submit the app to mozilla for review tomorrow.
We will most likely push another patch out at the end of next week so if there are other things you would like to see fixed, please post a comment or send us an email via care@feedly.com
