We had to take feedly offline to upgrade part of the infrastructure. We should be back up within 15 minutes. We will live update this blog post as the maintenance progresses. Sorry for the inconvenience.
12:27 AM Pacific Time.
The maintenance is complete. The service should be back online.

The feedly app allows you to login to your feedly using a Google, Facebook, Twitter, Evernote or Microsoft login. If you land into a feedly and do not see your feeds and collections, it is likely that you used a different login. The solution to this is to log out and log back in using your initial feedly login. Here are some tips to help you do this:
Tip #1: Who I am logged in as?
At the bottom of the left selector, you will find information about who you are currently logged in as. Please make sure that the email/id and service you are currently logged in as is the same as the email/service you used to sign up initially to feedly.
Tip #2: “I don’t remember using a social login!”
If you are a long time feedly user and do not remember which login you used to create your feedly account, you most likely used the Google login – we only supported Google at inception. If you migrated during the retirement of Google Reader, try to use the same Google email as you used for Google reader.
Tip #3: Handling multiple Google logins
Google has a feature – annoying bug – where it will try to automatically log you to the account you use on Google.com. If you use a different Google login for feedly and for google.com or use multiple google.com logins, please refer to supporting multiple Google logins blog post for more information on how to work around this problem.
Tip #4: Attaching multiple logins to the same feedly account
We are working on a new feature which will allow you to attach multiple logins to the same feedly account. For more information, please refer to http://feedly.com/#logins
Tip #5: Erasing your feedly account
The feedly erase page allows you to completely delete your feedly account and all your personal information from the feedly system. Please keep in mind that this operation can not be undone.
If you tried all these steps and are not able to login to your feedly or are not seeing your feed list after logging it, please contact Pro support if you are a pro user or ask a question on the Open feedly community.
Happy reading
Note: We know that there is a demand from users to be able to connect to feedly using a feedly specific login. The multiple logins feature is a step in that direction. Once that feature is in production, we will start working on a feedly specific login and allow users to attach a feedly login to their existing account.
For some users, the android app is hanging on the launch screen. We are investigating and trying to understand what might be causing this issue. We will update this blog post every hour with information about the investigation. Sorry for the inconvenience.
17:44pm San Francisco time. Thanks to Artem, we were able to find the cause of the issue. We need 4 hours to fix the issue and push a v24.3 update out to the Play Store. Next post as soon as v24.3 is out to the Play Store.
21:06pm San Francisco time. We were able to fix the issue. The fix is part of the 24.3.0 update we just pushed to the Google Play Store. It should be available for download within 30 minutes. Please upgrade to 24.3.0 when it is available. Happy reading!

As part of the feedly web 24 and mobile 24.2 updates, we retired the feedly URL shortener. It felt like the right thing to do for users and makes us a better citizen of the Web.
It is the right thing to do for users, because people who receive those links in emails, SMSs and social media posts will be able to tell by looking at the URL where it leads and who created the content. It will also shave a few hundred milliseconds from the experience of loading the links (one fewer redirect).
By sharing the canonical URL, we also allow other apps and search engines to leverage metadata about the content being shared and offer a better, richer experience. We also empower users to more effectively promote their favorite voices.
All the existing links will continue to perform an HTTP redirect to make sure that no links are broken.
There would be no feedly without the power and openness of the Web. We are going to be more careful going forward to respect and re-enforce what makes the Web the incredible medium it is.
Happy reading.
Today we’re introducing a new feature called collection sharing, which enables you to easily share the sites you read with others.
Over the years, feedly users have curated millions amazing collections of the best sites to read on a myriad of topics, from photography to fashion, travel to home improvement, politics to finance and everything in between. Shared collections will unlock the incredible wealth of knowledge that has been created within those feedly reading lists.
Though feedly will always remain a reader app at its core, collection sharing is part of our larger vision to make reading more collaborative and create a platform for knowledge sharing within feedly. Thousands of users have told us over the past year that having better ways to share would help them at work and at school. In fact, one of the main takeaways from a survey we ran last year about this topic was that feedly readers are enthusiastic about sharing and want more ways to share what they read with friends and co-workers.
We’re building a community of passionate readers and we’ll be inviting users who are excited to share the sites they read and represent the breadth of knowledge available in feedly.
Our plan is to open collection sharing to everyone over the next few months, starting with feedly Pro users, but you can apply now to get early access and view collections from your peers.

feedly Mini is back!
Our popular web browsing companion is officially relaunching today with a brand new user interface and a suite of new features. feedly Mini is a Chrome extension that keeps you connected to your feedly as you browse, allowing you to save, tag, share or subscribe to the great content you find each day.
A big thank you to all the users to participated to the beta program.
Does feedly Mini work on every site?
feedly Mini should show up on most of the sites you browse allowing you to share, save or subscribe to new content — you can even save articles from sites you’re not already subscribed to. However, feedly Mini has a blacklist of sites where it shouldn’t appear, so you can specify sites on which you don’t want feedly Mini to appear (see Options to edit the blacklist). Feedly Mini will also not appear on sites that use HTTPS (SSL).
Can I disable feedly Mini?
Yes. Click on the feedly mini icon, select the gear option and you will find a checkbox that let’s enable/disable feedly Mini.
Will feedly Mini be available on Firefox or Safari?
feedly Mini is currently available only as an extension for the Chrome web browser. We’re evaluating which other browsers we should support in future releases. Please let us know in the comments below what browsers you use.
Does feedly Mini collect any information about my browsing history?
No. We value your privacy and will not collect any information about the sites you browse while feedly Mini is active.
Why doesn’t feedly Mini work on HTTPS pages?
We are just being extra cautious: we do not want to interfere with HTTPS pages and we do not want users to grant us access to HTTPS pages.
Our goal at feedly is to connect readers to the sources of information they love and deliver the best possible reading experience. Based on feedback from many of our readers, we’re launching a new way to read articles in feedly we call the slider view. Here’s how it works and why we’re sure you’ll love it:
When you click on an article in feedly, that content will now appear in a card that slides open from the right edge of your screen.
While reading, this makes it super easy to jump back and forth between your list of unread articles and the content you want to read.
When you have an article open, the slider article card includes left / right navigation buttons that make it simple for you to quickly page through unread content using your mouse. As always, you can use the ‘j’ and ‘k’ keyboard shortcuts to navigate through articles, as well.
The slider makes it even easier to share your favorite content, because sharing buttons are always kept visible while reading, especially when scrolling down long articles.
When discovering new sources on feedly, the new format makes it much easier for you to check out a source and read a few articles without losing your place in the search results.
We’d love to hear what you think of the new slider view in the comments below.
A big thank you to all the users who provided us feedback and bug reports during the last 12 hours. We just pushed out a new version which fixes the following issues:
We are going to continue to listen and look out for bugs and suggestions on how to improve the slider so that it works for more workflows and more screen sizes. Thanks for the great feedback!
We crunched through a lot of awesome feedback over the week. We are releasing 23.1 today to fix more bugs and integrate some of the best suggestions. Here is the change log for 23.1:
Please clear your cache and reload feedly.com to make sure that you are running the latest 23.1.825 update. You can see your version information at http://feedly.com/#console
We are going to continue to listen and improve the slider experience so if you have suggestions or run into bugs, please continue to be vocal.
I don’t like this new format. Can I keep the old one?
There is a new Slider knob in the Preferences which allows you to limit the use of the slider to the Card view only (roughly the same behavior we had in v22).
I’m still seeing the old article view, what’s going on?
First clear your cache and refresh the browser to make sure that you are running the latest version of feedly.
By default, you’ll see the new slider view on the ‘Magazine’ and ‘Cards’ layouts, but not the ‘Title Only’ layout. Visit your feedly Preferences to select the layouts you want to use the slider view. The ‘Full Article’ layout will function as it always has.
Can I customize the share and save options that appear on the top of each article? I don’t want to have to use the dropdown menu to share to my favorite site.
Yes. In the “Sharing Shortcuts” section of your feedly Preferences, you can select up to 6 sharing or saving services to show directly on the article toolbar.
In one of the screenshots, I see multiple tabs, how is that possible?
If you go to the “Add Content” section of your feedly and start exploring for new content, try choosing a site. That source’s page will open in the slider. If you then choose an article, this pattern results in the creation of multiple tabs. (You can also do this in reverse, by picking an article and then clicking the source link near the top.) The goal is to allow users to drill down, while staying in the same context and not get lost while navigating between pages.
We’re happy to announce that today we are adding Microsoft OneNote to the growing list of services that are integrated directly within feedly. OneNote is a cross-platform, cross-device application that enables you to capture, store and share all your ideas, thoughts and information in one place.
Feedly and OneNote share the goal of helping you work smarter, better and more efficiently. That’s why we’re so excited about the integration of our two services. We’ve added a button to feedly that lets you save stories that matter to you directly to your OneNote account with one click. Once a story is added to OneNote, you’ll be able to categorize it, edit it, annotate it, collaborate with others and access it from anywhere.
Here’s how it works.
First, find a story you want to save. Then, click the OneNote icon (
). The first time you save to OneNote, you’ll be prompted to sign into your Microsoft account or create one. Once you’ve been authenticated, your content will be saved directly to your OneNote. Easy!
Feedly is a single place to discover and connect with everything you want to read, OneNote is a place to organize what you find.
Save to OneNote will be a feedly Pro feature, but from now until April 17, Microsoft has graciously agreed to sponsor the feature on feedly — which means it will be free for everyone for the next month!
Learn how you can do more with feedly and OneNote together.
What is Microsoft OneNote?
OneNote is a free application from Microsoft that enables you to create, organize and share notes. Your notes can include text, to-do lists, images, attached files and audio recordings. You can access your notes from anywhere, and share them with family, friends, classmates and coworkers.
Where can I get OneNote?
If you have Microsoft Office, chances are you already have OneNote, and it comes pre-installed on Windows Phone. You can also download OneNote for free for Windows, Mac OS X, iPad, iPhone and Android, or you can use OneNote on the web.
How do I sign up for OneNote?
You need a free Microsoft account to access OneNote using any of the apps mentioned above. If you don’t already have one, you can sign up for an account here: https://signup.live.com/
How do I sign up for feedly?
When you visit feedly.com for the first time, you’ll be prompted to choose a few content sources to follow. When you find something you want to read, click the “Subscribe” button. Feedly will then give you the option of signing up with your Microsoft, Google, Facebook or Twitter account.
Okay, I found something I want to save to OneNote, how do I do that?
Great! Just click the OneNote icon () at the top of the article you want to save (it’s right below the headline). If you’re already signed into OneNote, the article will automatically be saved to your “Quick Notes” notebook. You can then move it to another notebook, edit, annotate or share. If you’re not logged into OneNote, feedly will ask you to sign into your Microsoft account.
Will it work on mobile?
Yes! The save to OneNote feature can be accessed from any of feedly’s mobile apps. Once an article is saved to your OneNote notebook you can access it from anywhere you use OneNote.
How much does it cost?
Save to OneNote will be a feedly Pro feature. Feedly Pro supercharges your feedly experience with more powerful search options, faster update speeds and integrations with other web apps you already use. A subscription to Pro costs $5/month or $45/year, however, Microsoft will be sponsoring the OneNote feature until April 17, which means it will be available for free to all feedly users during that time!

We just released the new version of feedly for Android to the Google Play Store.
As mentioned in the beta announcement, the main feature of this release is speed reading – a new tap gesture which allows power readers to quickly jump from one inlined article to the next:
Here is a summary of the other features and bug fixes we are releasing as part of the this request:
1) We redesigned the user experience on the Nexus 7 – focusing on speed and efficiency.
2) We fixed the back button bug reported by many users – where the app would sometimes require multiple back taps to exit.
3) We addressed the rendering bug reported by many Android 4.1 users. This was due to an optimization we put in place for Kitkat but did not play nice with Android 4.1. If you are a feedly + android 4.1 user, you should see fewer rendering issues.
4) We enhanced the login. We now offer a full Google+ login option (the red ‘Login with Google’ button) as well as the old Google OAuth button. The Google+ option comes with a safer Single Sign On implementation and a better sharing dialog. Your choice.
5) Fixed the login expiration bug.
6) Improved the speed of the image processing service. This was one of the key requirements to delivering the speed reading feature.
7) Added a new Mark All As Read card which includes some status about your reading session. More on this later this year.
8) Compatibility with the Samsung Galaxy Gear. More on this next week.
9) Removed the colors in the left selector. This is because we will soon allow users to assign colors to categories, making colors functional.
10) New enhanced black/night theme.
What are the next features we are exploring for feedly mobile 19?
+ Tagging
+ Evernote integration (pro)
+ Customizable font and font size
+ Ability to associate a color to each collections
+ Better search
+ Smooth scrolling for the title only view
+ Offline support for home, must reads and saved items
+ Notification support for must reads
