We have Feeds with events and Feeds with Documents and Comments. On the one hand, we have the Library and the Query block, which display documents and comments. On the other hand, we have Activity Feed showing events. The library is ordered by Activity events. We want the Query block lists also to be requested by Activity events, optionally.
I was thinking if we could merge the functionality with the Activity Feed. Currently, it has been decided that the feed will display completely different event items. However, before starting to build it, I want to show the LinkedIn feed where they merge posts, articles, and commentary with activity events.
Feed with Documents and Comments as items.
Feeds that show Documents and, eventually, other content as Comments. For example, our Query block lists:
Feed with Activity Events
In the Activity Feed's current design, every item is an activity event.
Hybrid Feeds
However, feed items could be resources, with events attached to each feed item.
LinkedIn Posts get updated with new activity, such as new comments or reactions. The Post appears again on the feed with the new activity at the top of the Feed Item.
Pros
You have a preview of resource directly on the feed.
Saves clicks because you don't have to go to each resource all the time.
We can share the same the same code across the Library, Query Block Lists, and Activity Feeds with the same code.
Cons
They take a lot of space for the reader.
Reader has to read the same post again and again for every new event.
Linkedin Posts are harder to build.
