Introducing Feed Sharing on Smashing
It's now easier than ever to supercharge your interest feeds.
Since our launch a few weeks ago, we’ve been listening closely to your feedback. One key takeaway? You wanted a faster, simpler way to create multiple interest feeds that help you discover amazing curated articles more quickly.
Today, we’re excited to introduce Feed Sharing—a new way to jumpstart your collection of interest feeds and get better curation faster.
Add Fine-Tuned Interest Feeds
With Feed Sharing, you can easily explore and add interest feeds honed and tuned by other Smashing curators.
That means you’ll benefit from all the work these curators have already done, including selecting and refining interest sub-topics, selecting favorite publishers, and curation activity.
There are two ways you can add a shared feed:
Add them as a standalone feed, perfect for diving deeper into a specific topic.
Or, merge them with one of your existing feeds (e.g., add ‘Artificial Intelligence’ to your ‘Technology’ feed).
Here are some awesome feeds tuned by Smashing’s cofounders and Top Curators you can add right now:
Artificial Intelligence curated by Smashing co-founder Dan Barrett
Innovative Technology curated by Top Curator Andrew Moseman
Startups curated by Smashing and Goodreads co-founder Otis Chandler
Open Social Web curated by Smashing co-founder Greg Veen
Marketing curated by Smashing co-founder Mike Mraz
Life Hacks curated by Top Curator Magnus
Changing Media Industry curated by Smashing co-founder Mike Mraz
What is Feed Sharing?
Feed Sharing also allows you to share your own curated feeds with friends, family, and the Smashing community. It’s a seamless way to showcase your unique taste and interests without revealing specific articles you’ve read or marked as “more like this”.
Sharing is simple and currently only available in the iOS app:
Go to any interest feed in your “For You” section.
Tap the share icon in the upper-right corner of the screen.
Copy the link and share it with anyone.
Join the Movement
We’d love to see the feeds you’re curating! Share your interest feeds with your well-read friends, family, and the Smashing community.
And be sure to let us know if you share a great feed that you’d like us to consider promoting! You can email us at support@smashing.xyz or find us anytime on our Slack channel. We’ll begin featuring some of them in upcoming emails and, soon, in the app itself.
Start exploring and sharing today to help grow our awesome, endlessly-curious community!
