In a world dominated by algorithm-driven feeds, Follow feels like a breath of fresh air.

Pros
1. Clean and Intuitive Design
The interface is minimal and user-friendly. Whether it’s adding subscriptions, organizing feeds, or reading articles, everything is straightforward and seamless.
2. Thoughtful Customization Options
I love how you can group feeds into categories—it makes browsing so much more organized. The dark mode is also a great touch for late-night reading sessions.
3. Focus on Content
Once you open an article, it’s just you and the content. No ads, no distractions—just pure reading bliss.
4. Cross-Device Sync
As someone who switches between devices a lot, I appreciate the flawless synchronization. I can start on my phone and pick up exactly where I left off on my laptop.
5. Offline Reading is a Game-Changer
Whether I’m on a plane or stuck in a subway with no internet, I can still access my saved articles. This feature has been a lifesaver.
6. You’re in Control
Unlike social media platforms that decide what you see, Follow lets you choose your sources. It’s empowering to curate your own feed and escape the algorithm bubble.

Cons
1. Limited Third-Party Integrations
While it works great as a standalone app, integrating with tools like Pocket or Notion would make it even better for saving and organizing articles.
2. No Browser Extension
A browser extension to quickly subscribe to RSS feeds would be a fantastic addition and make it even easier to use.
3. Might Feel Intimidating for New Users
If you’re not familiar with RSS, the concept might take a little getting used to. But once you understand how it works, it’s smooth sailing.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to escape algorithm-driven feeds and rediscover intentional reading! 🚀

RN team 有自己清晰的设计思路,得益于整个创世团队本身就是知识管理的高手,并且有丰富的知识管理领域的心得体会。
好的方面:
1. 双链笔记 + Anki 间隔重复的思路很赞
2. Everything is a rem, 有面向对象思想的韵味,可以很自由的搭建个人的知识架构,并且易于扩展和自动化
3. 电子书阅读 + 双链,开辟了一个先河,非常赞。
当前的缺点:
1. 国际化支持不佳,尤其对非字母语言,已经影响了使用
2. PDF 电子书希望可以支持 epub 等更多的格式
3. 支付问题,需要接入更多的第三方支付工具

RN team has their clear thoughts on product developing, as they are all best at the area of knowledge management, also have good sense and their own thoughts.
Good Parts:
1. bi-links note + Anki/spaced repetation
2. Everything is a rem, it similar to object-oriented thoughts, it could be easily for users to build their own knowledge structure, as it brings extension and automation.
3. PDF reading + bi-links, it works really good.
Need more efforts parts:
1. L10n & i18n, it brings a lot issue for non-ascii languages, especially has different keyboard settings. Hope users could change it by themselves
2. Could support more e-book formats like epub .etc
3. payments, if is hard for somebody without a visa card to pay, especially for students.
In the whole, we love RemNote, hope it goes further.
