How are Chips different from For you?

For you is your full personalized feed across everything you follow and read. A chip is a narrower feed with its own tags and settings. Blocks and filters you set in a chip apply to that chip only.

Where do my first chips come from?

daily.dev creates a starter set of up to five chips for you, based on the topics you picked and what you read. You can rename them, change their tags, delete them, or add new ones with the + button.

Do I need Plus to use Chips?

No. Anyone can create chips and change their name, icon, and tags. Plus unlocks the advanced settings for each chip, like content sources, content preferences, filters, and blocking. See Advanced Custom Feeds.

Chips

Last updated November 7, 2026

What are Chips?

Chips are the tabs at the top of your feed. The first one, For you, is your main personalized feed. Every other chip is its own feed: click one, and you see only posts about that subject.

On desktop, chips sit at the top of the feed. On smaller screens, they appear as tabs in the feed navigation below the top bar.

Your starter chips

You don't have to set chips up from scratch. daily.dev creates a starter set of up to five chips for you, based on the topics you picked when you signed up and what you read. From there, the chips are yours to change.

Opening a chip

Click any chip to open it. Each chip has its own page and URL, for example daily.dev/feeds/rust-..., so you can bookmark it or keep it open in another tab.

Customizing a chip

Open a chip (1) and click the Feed settings button at the top right of the feed (2). In the settings window you can:

General: rename the chip, pick an emoji icon, choose where the Happening Now card appears, or delete the chip.
Tags: add or remove the tags that make up the chip.
AI superpowers: turn on Clickbait Shield and auto-translate (Plus).

With daily.dev Plus, you can also use Content sources, Content preferences, Filters, and Blocked content to fine-tune each chip. See Advanced Custom Feeds.

The Rust chip open (1) with its settings window on the General tab, showing the feed name, icon, Happening Now placement and Delete feed; the Feed settings button at the top right is circled (2)

Click Save to apply your changes.

Adding a chip

Click + at the end of the chip strip. A new feed opens with its settings, where you name it and pick its tags. You can also add a tag, source, or developer to a new or existing chip from their page, using Add to custom feed in the options menu.

Removing a chip

Open the chip, click Feed settings, and choose Delete feed on the General tab. Deleting a chip removes only that feed and its settings. Your For you feed, your follows, and your reading history stay as they are.

Chips and your other settings

Each chip has its own settings. Blocking a tag or source while you're in a chip removes it from that chip only (the post menu says Remove ... from this feed). To change your main feed, use the settings on For you. See setting up your feed.

Frequently asked questions

Chips are the tabs above your feed. The first one is For you, your main feed. Every other chip is its own feed, usually built around one or a few tags, so you can switch to a single subject in one click.
