Untapped potential and unfulfilled mission

Feedly is, naturally, supposed to “feed” you stories throughout the day. What I like about RSS is that it is more professional. When I enter my office every morning, I want to read the news. I open up Feedly, and on a good day, it will not crash. But the experience is nothing more than a dedicated we browser. Nothing about the App makes it feel like an app.

A couple of things I hope the Yosemite update does:

1. Creates an App experience. Something dedicated to the user and unique.

2. Notifications and/or widgets. I feel confident to say that Notification Center will replace the widget center (does anyone really use the widgets, really?). Here is Feedly’s opportunity. I want to customize my news experience. I do not want the onslought of Twitter, but I want to choose SCOTUSBlog, and maybe local news to get pushed. The other news is ancilliary and can be viewed later. If I could customize what gets pushed, and even enter key words or names to notify me of. For example, on SCOTUS, if I wanted to know about a 4th Amendment decision that was made, I could get that pushed to my desktop.

3. Create a standard for RSS feeds, such as tags, or keyword standards.

The current experience is a waste of hard drive space. Just tag it in Safari and use Safari. The app provides nothing more.
