inoreader tricks #

inoreader is my rss/feed/content reader of choice because it’s literally the best. period.

content views #

• IMO column view is the most effective (but it took me some time to realize that)
• i group the items by feed, which i’d recommend if you have a lot of sources

keep a log of your star history #

• right-click read later section, choose get rss feed
• add that rss feed to inoreader and add a rule that auto reads that feed

filter a feed #

• use the filter feature, not rules. from my experience filters are processed before rules

word filter a folder #

• use a new article in folder rule

global account word filter #

• use a new article in account rule

twitter timeline #

• you can subscribe to your twitter timeline by adding https://twitter.com/home (you have to add your twt acc in the settings)

keyboad shortcuts #

• enable them in settings > other > power user settings

examples #

• h show help
• g-a goto all articles
• g-d goto dashboard
• g-f goto starred articles
• v open article in new tab (foreground)
• b open in bg
• shift-1 show only unread articles
• shift-2 show all articles
• shift-a mark all as read
• r refresh
• f star article
• j/k move one article down/up

custom css #

can be added in settings > other > power user settings. here’s mine:

/* hide prev/next article/refresh buttons in top bar (right) */
#sb_rp_prev_article, #sb_rp_next_article, #sb_rp_refresh {
  display: none;
}
/* hide ugly eye button in sidebar */ 
#subscription_options_peek_wrapper {
  display: none;
}

etc #

• duplicate filters for news or technology folders are great because news publications often publish the same things and hackernews and lobsters content has overlap too
• for newsletters: either built-in feature or https://kill-the-newsletter.com
