I am a new reader, I arrive at a new Site and I want to fulfill my interest needs. Instead of having a Meta or YouTube algorithm, we give users the power to customize their own Feed Views.
The site owner creates a default view. It is a good start because the site owner knows very well her knowledge repository and what she wants to show. However, it is not good enough for me because the site owner is not entirely knowledgeable about my interests.
I want to customize my own view, including some specific sequence of content blocks—a mix of conversations and document blocks with particular keywords and authors I want to follow. I want to pin the view, so when I come back, I will be able to open it.
