Newsreader Mode

Newsreader mode operates as a multi-stream news ticker with content being fetched in real-time:

• Allows monitoring of content from multiple sources in a visually-appealing way
• Streams of content frames flow across the screen, and can come from multiple sources, showing images, news items, videos, social media updates, and more
• Pause streams for conventional newsreader mode
• Play streams for real-time multi-stream news ticker
  • Stream scrolling speed can be adjusted in settings
• Streams can be shown in expanded view (title above each stream) or compact view (title to left of each stream)
• Intuitive gesture-based interface
• If something catches the eye, lean in and click on it to read the full item, share, etc.
  • Tapping opens an item in preview mode, partially overlaying the newsreader
  • Double tapping changes to slideshow mode
• Status indicators can be turned on or off for items
  • A color triangle means a new item has been fetched (five colors available)
  • A grey dogear indicates an item has already been read
• Each item has an icon or watermark to indicate the type of content (Facebook status update, Twitter tweet, RSS news item, Flickr photograph, YouTube video)
• Launch a full-screen browser to see the original source page for any item
• Optional setting that allows read items to be grayed out or removed
• A stream of interest can be zoomed to double or triple height by unpinching
  • Keep unpinching to change stream to fullscreen mode
• Each item can be shared using Facebook, Twitter (tweet or retweet) and using email
• More importantly, streams of curated content feeds can be easily shared with other StreamGlider users
  • Simply tap on a stream title, enter the email of who you want to share it with
• A ‘shared streams’ button allows you to see streams that have been shared with you by other StreamGlider users
• Suitable for use as an enterprise dashboard for employees, customers or partners
