Fraidycat in Chrome with OffiDocs
Ad
DESCRIPTION
Fraidycat is a new type of single-page "reader" - a dashboard for monitoring social media accounts, discussion websites and blogs.
Rather than showing you a massive inbox of new posts to sort through, you see a list of recently active individuals.
The page updates as new posts are discovered.
Fraidycat also focuses on "importance" - each account or website that you follow can be assigned a priority, whether you want to keep up in "Real-time" or if you "Rarely" want updates.
In this way, you can track important "Real-time" follows on the front page, while lower priority items are hidden away.
Other features are: - Sync.
If you are logged in to Chrome, your follows will be synced between any Chrome browsers running the extension.
- Import and export of your saved data to JSON, OPML and HTML files.
- Tags.
Follows can be categorized into separate tabs.
Even emoji can be used as tags! - Concise.
Rather than filling up your display with large posts, each follow is given two lines of summary.
(See our screenshots.
) - Live and pinned posts.
If an account is currently 'live' or has 'pinned' posts, these are shown in that follow's status line.
- Dark mode.
You can alternate between light and dark themes.
- Fraidycat supports most social networks and feed types.
Fraidycat is a whole new concept in tracking creators on the Web.
If you don't quite see how this is different from a classic feed reader, check out our video above to see the tool in action.
"I did not expect how immediately and wholeheartedly I would appreciate and enjoy [Fraidycat] once I began to use it.
" - Jason McIntosh "I am enjoying the browser extension called Fraidycat, which presents a lovely, anarchic opportunity: follow all the people you like, no matter what platform they’re using, without having accounts on those platforms.
Basically, it’s an 'RSS… or whatever' reader.
" - Robin Sloan "It’s really neat, and I’m already finding it a much more deliberate and less distracting way of surfing the modern web that doesn’t just involve me mindlessly refreshing social feeds and closing and opening various browser tabs like a rat in a maze.
" - Nick Statt, The Verge
