Feed Reader Refresh

A usability-focused redesign improving readability, navigation and one-handed interactions in a feed reader.

Problem

  • Important actions and navigation competed with content, making common tasks slower to perform.
  • Dense layouts reduced scanability and made feeds and filters difficult to navigate efficiently.
  • Article interactions weren't optimized for mobile ergonomics, requiring unnecessary reach and precision.

Approach

  • Improved visual hierarchy by emphasizing content, filters, and primary actions while reducing interface noise.
  • Restructured feed navigation using a more glanceable grid layout and quicker access from the article list.
  • Repositioned article actions around thumb reach, increasing visibility and supporting one-handed use.
