The reading workflow we designed for
A deep dive into the three-pillar reading workflow that inspired Cardmaniacs — feeds for discovery, read-later for intention, bookmarks for reference.
Every reading workflow, no matter how different, tends to follow a similar pattern. We call it the three-pillar model, and it's the foundation of everything we built in Cardmaniacs.
Discovery: Feeds
The first pillar is discovery. RSS feeds, YouTube subscriptions, podcast feeds, Reddit, Mastodon — these are the streams that bring new content to your attention.
Intention: Read Later
Not everything you discover is worth reading right now. The second pillar is intentional saving — capturing articles, threads, and documents for focused reading later.
Reference: Bookmarks
Some things you read once and move on. Others become reference material you return to again and again. The third pillar is organized, searchable bookmarks.
Cardmaniacs unifies all three into one continuous reading loop.
