introduce

Feedly is an RSS subscription tool that aggregates various online resources in user-defined news feeds, and its extension tools can make these resources into a customized interface and display them in a magazine style. You can also change the layout, color, and category of the interface itself, like your favorite articles or comments, and these articles can be shared via email, Facebook, Google+, Tumblr, Twitter and other services. Feedly also has a mobile version, but it is different from the version used on the browser. Feedly's app cannot load an entire article, but will present its summary and link to the article on the browser. The app also recommends articles based on what the user has read or shared in the past.
