Chips

What are Chips?

Chips are tag-based shortcuts that sit above your feed. Each chip is a topic (like react, ai, or career), and clicking one opens a dedicated feed of posts on that subject. They are the fastest way to jump between the things you read about without losing your place.

On desktop, the chip strip lives at the top of My Feed. On mobile, it lives in the feed navigation right under the top bar.

Why use Chips?

• Switch topics in one click. Move from your full feed to a focused one without leaving the page.
• Each chip is a real feed. Open it, scroll it, bookmark it for later.
• You start with a set already curated for you. Chips are auto-suggested based on what you read.

How chips appear

You don't need to set chips up from scratch. The first time you load daily.dev, we look at what you read most and create a starter set of chips for you, so the strip is useful right away. From there, the chips are yours to shape.

Opening a chip

Click any chip to open it. You'll land on its own feed page with its own URL (something like daily.dev/feeds/react). The URL is stable, so you can bookmark a chip or pin it in another tab.

Customizing a chip

Open a chip and click the settings button to:

• Rename it. Change the label that shows up in the chip strip and feed nav.
• Add or remove tags. Broaden or narrow the topic by tweaking which tags belong to the chip.

That's the whole customize loop: name and tags. Save your changes and the chip updates everywhere it appears.

Removing a chip

Don't want a chip in your strip anymore? Open it, head to its settings, and delete it. Removing a chip just removes that shortcut and its feed. Your main feed, your follows, and your reading history are untouched. You can always add a new chip for the same topic later.

Adding a new chip

Use the + at the end of the chip strip (or the mobile nav) to create a new chip. Pick a name, choose your tags, and the chip joins the strip immediately, ready to open like any other.

Chips let you keep one foot in your full feed and one foot in a focused topic at all times. Curate the strip until it matches the things you actually want to read, and switching between them becomes a single click.
