Following
The live stream from the sources you follow, with Smart Views and Featured stars.
What it is
Following is the live stream of every source you follow, including both public sources and any private sources you've added.
Think of it as "your own RSS reader, but only showing curated items."
Three views
| View | Notes |
|---|---|
| All | Latest items from every followed source, sorted by time |
| Unread | Only items you haven't opened yet |
| Smart Views | Derived slices: Featured / Uncategorized / Recently updated / Stale |
About Smart Views
Smart Views aren't user-created folders — they're derived automatically from existing fields:
- Featured: sources you've starred
- Uncategorized: sources not yet placed in any folder
- Recently updated: sources with new content in the last 7 days
- Stale: sources that haven't updated in 30+ days (useful for periodic cleanup)
Featured stars
Click ⭐ in the top-right of any source card to mark it Featured. Featured sources carry higher weight when My Brief is generated — sources you specifically care about are more likely to appear.
Source Contribution
Every followed source's card shows "Entered the brief X times in the last N days" — telling you how much that source actually contributes to your brief.
If a followed source hasn't contributed in a while, it likely means:
- It hasn't published recently
- Its recent items didn't pass the curation bar
- Its direction no longer matches your current interest profile
Use that signal to decide whether to keep it or unfollow.
