Views & bookmarks

A reading home that builds itself, and a private shelf of favourites.

Everything so far lives inside one collective. This chapter is about the layer that's yours - the reading home that gathers all your collectives into one place, and the private shelf of things you love.

My Views - a magazine that builds itself

Open your profile menu and choose My Views. What you get is a personal magazine assembled from every collective you belong to - stories first, moments alongside - that grows by itself as your family tells more. Three buttons at the top set its mood:

View	What it shows
Fresh	The newest telling across your collectives - your catching-up view.
Return	The stories you've bookmarked, waiting to be read again.
Echoes	Suggestions that rhyme with what you've loved - same tellers, same threads - drawn from your bookmarks.

My Views: a personal magazine with Fresh, Return and Echoes buttons, a lead story and a moments rail — Fresh: the newest telling leads, moments run alongside, Bookmark buttons everywhere.

You can also change the arrangement - the same stories as a classic magazine, a photo-led gallery, or a words-first reading list - and save a view (a filter set plus an arrangement) to come back to by name.

The same View in the gallery arrangement - photo-led tiles — The gallery arrangement: same stories, photo-first.

Bookmarks - yours, and only yours

Every story card and page carries a Bookmark. Use it freely, and know this: nobody sees your bookmarks. Not the story's author, not the collective's owner. There are no like-counts to perform for - a bookmark is just you, promising yourself a return visit.

Bookmarked stories wait in three places: the Return view, My Bookmarks in your profile menu, and the Bookmarked filter in any collective's Browse. Cards you've bookmarked wear a small ribbon so you can spot old friends while wandering.

Your profile & settings

My Profile is your public face across collectives; Settings is where you change your details and password. One setting worth knowing about even before you create anything: default privacy - the rung of the ladder your new stories and posts start on. Out of the box it's the safest sharing level: collective, your people only.

Try it now

Bookmark two or three stories in +demos - whatever genuinely caught you - then open My Views and tap Echoes. Watch it start rhyming.
