The Verge is getting way more personal with following feeds

I've probably written a thousand stories for this website about our favorite apps adding new features, so it's a fun change of pace to be writing one about ourselves doing the same thing. Today, The Verge is adding some exciting new features that will let you personalize exactly how you read the site. You'll be able to follow individual topics and authors, then read them in a custom homepage feed and through a daily email digest that's specific to you. On the front page, you'll now see a toggle that says 'Following' at the top of our news feed. Click it, and you'll be able to start choosing the topics you want to populate your own custom feed. You'll also see '+' buttons around the website, which let you add new authors and topics as you come across them. You'll need to sign up for a Verge account to access the features, but they're all available for free — subscribers and non-subscribers alike. You'll notice this feels a lot like the way an RSS feed or a social network works. That's very much by design. Everything is a feed now, and everything is customizable. We think our site should work the same way. What you're seeing today is the first step toward adding deeper personalization features across The Verge, and we will keep building on this foundation in the months ahead. We're also launching one more way for people to read The Verge: a daily newsletter. It's called The Verge Daily, and it'll deliver a bunch of our top headlines to your inbox every weekday at 7AM ET. It'll be curated by our editorial team every day and allow you to read the biggest stories of the past 24 hours right from your email. Our first edition goes out tomorrow, and we'd love it if you signed up. The newsletter is going to be free to everyone. (But a note for our subscribers: stay tuned… there's more to come.) This is a big launch for us, and I hope you all like what we've been working on. But stick around — there's a lot more we want to build. Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.

Quip is a smart clipboard management app for iOS and Mac

Developers of Unite, an app that offers customized web app management on Mac, on Monday released a new app called Quip, a clipboard app for the Apple ecosystem. The app includes features for organizing text clips, support for shortcuts to trigger text snippets, duplicate prevention, and code formatting, among other things. Its goal is to offer users more control and customization compared with the traditional clipboard, making it a more productive alternative. Quip is non-intrusive — on Mac, it lives on the menu bar and, on iOS, it has a special keyboard — and maintains a history of all things that you copy across devices as a universal clipboard. You can easily search through the history and also customize the timeframe to keep items stored, along with max items and maximum item size. You can filter through these items by text, links, images, code, files, and recency. Quip allows you to add clipboard items to collections to easily access them later. Plus, you can make smart collections to automatically add certain clipboard items to those collections. As the app accesses all kinds of data, the company has built customizable privacy controls. By default, the app ignores data such as passwords, credit cards, and personally identifiable data for its clip history. It will also ignore temporary data, including cache, auto-generated data, and debug information. You can customize this further and instruct the app to ignore certain apps and keywords for the clipboard. One of the useful features of the app is the 'supershortcut,' which allows you to define short phrases for text expansion. For instance, you can write your address in a 'supershortcut' and use the trigger keyword 'addr' to paste details anywhere. This works for links and code, too. Quip also allows you to capture content on the screen from a presentation, videos, and a PDF through a trigger shortcut. What's more, the app has some smart features, including cleaning up URLs, preventing duplicate entries in history, cleaning up white spaces, and automatically formatting code. The app supports Apple's continuity Camera feature, allowing you to post sketches, documents, or photos from iPhone to Mac using the menubar app. The app's developer, Binyamin Goldman, said the company is using older Apple NLP (Natural Language Processing) capabilities for on-device intelligent features on the app. He said that, later this year, it will switch to Apple's offline AI models to explore more capabilities. Goldman previously only did partial development work on the apps his company created, he told TechCrunch over email. However, he has done the majority of work on Quip thanks to AI tools like Cursor and Claude, he says. You can try Quip for free for two weeks and pay $14.99 per year to get access to apps across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. You can also buy a standalone license for the Mac app for $19.99.
