Love this.

I love your zero state page when I haven't subscribed to any channel. However, I can't seem to find the discover button as soon as you subscribe to one channel and the only way I can add a channel is the + button. But the + button has no auto-complete. Bug or feature?

@nikunj Yes we are looking forward to make the discover button more present in the next app update. You can still access it with a tap on "No inspiration?" button when you try to add a new channel.

Took me a while to understand that the "No Inspiration?" button takes me to the Discover page, but I finally figured it out. Excited to see some notifications roll in.

I love this. So many channels I'd subscribe to. But until we have wireless charging, I'm weary of any app hitting me up so much.
Ethan Sebban
@lovethecool No worry, iOS and Android handle very well notifications and don't hit too much on the battery.

I really dig it! Two points of minor feedback: There is probably a better solution for how discovery should behave when you choose to follow something, (exiting itself kind of limits the discovery part)! And to prevent a global ocd-mayhem you should consider moving that plus-sign to the center of the button. I'll try to invoke some traction among my peers. Wish you the best!

@gopatrik Thanks Patrik! We are working hard to give you the best experience on Drop. Stay tuned.

Cool concept but I think the amount of push notifications I'd get would be annoying - even if I only subscribed to 1 news site, I'd get a ton of notifs.
Ethan Sebban
@tzhongg This is not as noisy as twitter. Subscribe to +THEVERGE and you'd realize that the amount of notifications is really enjoyable.

@ethansbbn How does one go about creating a channel to be considered in the Featured section?
Ethan Sebban
@danclay Be either creative or popular!

Really love the simplicity of this @ethansbbn but i'd be keen to see a filter option to limit the notifications. Drops with the word X in Channel Y
