The Feed

The Feed

Once you're signed in, the front page is a feed. It's the first thing you see,

and for a long time it was the only part of the app nothing here described.

What lands in it

Nothing, unless somebody chooses to put it there. There is no automatic

posting: adding a card, building a deck, or scanning a stack publishes nothing.

The feed fills up only when you or a friend deliberately shares something.

That's the whole design. A collection is a private thing with money attached,

and a feed that broadcast every purchase would make people play with the app

less, not more.

Publishing

Wherever something can be shared there's a Share button: on a deck, on your

collection, on your tradelist and wishlist. Pressing it writes one post. The

post carries a link and a picture, not the contents, so what people see is

whatever that page already shows a visitor.

A post respects the same visibility rules as the page it points at. Share a

deck and then make it private, and the post stops appearing. Nothing you have

not made public can arrive in somebody's feed by way of a share.

Friends and Global

Two tabs. Friends is posts from people you have added. Global is

everyone's public posts, which is where to look when you want to see what other

people are building rather than only your own circle.

Blocking somebody removes them from both, in both directions.

If it's empty

An empty feed means nobody has shared anything yet, not that something is

broken. The quickest way to see it work is to share one of your own decks.
