Greetings hunters!
A pretty exciting and somewhat daunting day for us, will try to keep it together :)
For those who don’t already know/use Muzli, it is a new-tab Chrome extension that aims to help you stay inspired. Muzli’s audience is mainly comprised of designers, creatives and basically anyone looking for the freshest and most amazing design related content out there.
And today we’re taking it a step further.
Over the last year, as we’ve seen Muzli grow, we’ve collected huge amounts of feedback, suggestions, feature requests, frustrations, complaints, rants and even some praise from time to time (thanks mom!).
When we finally got around to start working on a major new version, user feedback was the first thing we turned to, and for the most part, Muzli 2 is the result (or rather the beginning) of this process.
We tried to address what we thought was at the top of the feature list, both from external feedback and internal needs, while strengthening some existing aspects of Muzli. We’ve tackles many of things, but not all, the rest in the works.
So what’s new? (in a nutshell)
Muzli 2 is customizable, has a smaller load footprint, magazine-like mashup of your favorite publishers, many new sources to choose from, social media signals, videos, visual view of DN, Sidebar and PH, and so much more.
You can check out the video (thank you SO much @andyorsow for helping out) and the Medium post for a quick tour.

So, I’m pretty proud of it. All that is left is to hope that you and our community would feel the same and love it as much as we do.
P.S, if you have an older version of Muzli installed and don't want to wait for the automatic update, you can manually update by following the steps outlined here:

@eyal_zuri @andyorsow @usemuzli wow!! I'm so excited to start using it because -> 1: I didn't expect it to evolve (!) and 2: Muzli has been key in my career for the past months: as a place to find inspiration, as a source to never stop learning and as a mind and eye trainer for fresh thinking. In other words, your curation efforts are so amazing that I would like to thank you so much for your work... and now Muzli 2! ヽ(”`▽´)ﾉヽ(”`▽´)ﾉ

Great hunt. I'm not a designer at all (pretty good with MS Paint though) but this site is fascinating. Seriously. good job guys.
Noam Liss — Senior product Designer @similarweb
Congrats! This is a great update to an already great product!
Illai Jacob Gescheit — CEO & Founder @Mobifile, @cRound
I love it. I really like the new layout. I also think that having videos played right inside the feed makes Muzli even more exciting. Great stuff!
Lior Frenkel — CEO at nuSchool
Super excited to try out the new version! I'm using it daily. I have to admit - the main page is my favourite - the web is OVERcrowded with data - even for a specific niche... It's so nice to know that someone is curating the best for me. Going to try the new ver now. See you in two hours ;)

Love it! It's my inspiration moments in between writing and the update looks great!
Congrats on the new version

Found @muzli about a month ago, and love it. The coolest way to open a new tab.

Some people read their morning paper, favorite blog, I kick off my day with Muz.li — everday. Thanks Eyal and Ohad for building such an amazing product that shows the power, creativity, humor and usefulness of design in each story.

I really like what you guys have done here - however! I am a big fan of speedial, more the idea and how it works. Its super easy to customise and arrange that new tab just how you like it by dragging and dropping stuff around.
Now obviously this might not be what you guys are intending to do with muzli byt what I would love to see is that I could arrange my links that I always use ( generally not directly design related but what I need when I hit a new tab ) along with this super content that you guys pull up. I do think what you have done is super cool and I like looking at it allot. It jars a little with me that a new tab will be filled with beautiful distractions but thats down to my short attention span.
Great work in any case, I thought id give you my honest oppinion for whatever its worth.

Really awesome transitions! one specific change i really liked in terms ux was the +button in the links bubble. Add button didn't hook me very much. But + was intuitive. Great change!!!

A must have for anyone in the Design/UX world!
Great Job on v.2!
I love it!

Not really a fan of chrome extensions, but Muzli is really high quality, and probably the best "new tab" extension out there. :)

I like this quite a lot. Previously I used Panda, but this is much smoother and has more selections for designers. Though it does take a little time for all the content to load on my 4k iMac. Not sure if it's just me.

Tried it out immediately. Love the quick access toolbar at the top too, so I still get the functionality I used to have from my home screen.
