It is just **a third-party frontend for Mirror.xyz**, designed and produced entirely by myself.

It is produced using **Flutter**, so it can support both Android a iOS. But for now, I don’t own a Mac, so the iOS version is delayed until I got one.

Functionality
-------------

### Labeling

The articles are manually labeled by me every 4~8 hours. It is a part-time thing, so it won’t be that up-to-date. But all the articles (labeled or not) will be shown in the news feed. **It is recommended that you open the software once or twice a day to read the selected articles.**

The articles are divided into several categories:

*   Selected: all the articles that are labeled (except for the ones in「Others」)
    
*   News: just news-like articles
    
*   Summary: basically articles that summerize latest projects
    
*   Finance: cryptocurrency stock market related
    
*   Business: project/ business in-depth analysis
    
*   Art: nft/ painting/ music/ video etc.
    
*   Tech: articles explaining blockchain technology
    
*   Projects: project propaganda from project owner
    
*   Thoughts: contemptation about life/ tech etc.
    
*   Tutorials: tutorials for airdrops/ faucet etc.
    
*   Others: other things like self-introduction
    

Some articles are left unlabeled so that they will not be seen in the 「Selected」tab, but you can find them in the 「All」tab. These articles are normally very shot or rubbish news that is hardly valuable.

Also there will be ten articles showed on the top that is considered in-depth by myself.

### Folding

All the articles from the same address will be folded into a single card. You can long press the card to unfold articles. This efficiently purified the pollution of rubbish articles, and make the reading experience in 「All」tab more convenient. (If you don’t trust my labeling)

All the articles are opened using your default browser, so that you can make full use of your browser capability like translation and bookmarks.
