What these cards are
Alongside the decisions, action plans, and agent messages in your Feed, Verinode also surfaces industry content: articles, videos, podcasts, and events pulled from trade press, industry bodies, and vendor sources, plus vendor product news and Verinode's own research. None of this is generated for you or about your book of business. It is curated: Verinode's research pipeline scans a defined set of industry feeds every day, scores each item for relevance to restoration operators, and weaves the ones that clear the bar into your feed alongside your decisions. Verinode surfaces it, you decide what to open.
This article covers the four content-card types you'll see (Article, Video, Podcast, Event), the Vendor News card, and how Verinode Research's own publications appear with source attribution. For the decision and action-plan cards that share the same feed, see the feed and the decision workspace.
Where to find it
Open Feed from the sidebar at iq.verinode.ai/feed. It's a full-screen, one-card-at-a-time scroll, similar to a stories feed: scroll down to move to the next card, and a thin progress rail on the right edge of the column tracks how far through the deck you are.
At the top of the feed column, two controls scope what you see:
- Filter pills: All, Decisions, Content, Events. Content shows articles, videos, podcasts, and vendor news together; Events isolates event cards; All mixes everything, including your decisions and action plans.
- A time-range dropdown to the right of the pills: Today, This week, 30 days, All time, each showing a live count of how many cards fall in that window. 30 days is the default.
Reading a content card
Every content card, regardless of type, follows the same top-to-bottom structure:
- Top bar: a small circular source icon (where one is known), the source name, and how long ago it was published (for example, "3h" or "2d"). On the right, a colored pill names the card type: Article, Video, Podcast, Event, or Vendor News.
- Center: the card's title, and for articles, events, and vendor news, a short summary underneath. Video cards show a thumbnail; podcast cards show artwork plus a static waveform graphic (there's no built-in audio player; more on that below).
- Bottom bar: three buttons. The left one is the primary action and its label changes by card type (Watch, Listen, or Read). The middle and right buttons handle "not now" and "add to a list," and what they do also depends on the card type, covered below.
A background watermark icon and a soft procedural gradient fill any card without a photo, so nothing reads as a blank or broken tile; this is a shared visual treatment across the whole feed, not something specific to content.
Source attribution
The source name and icon at the top of every card tell you where the piece came from, and they follow a consistent set of rules:
- A known industry publisher (for example C&R Magazine, the IICRC, the Restoration Industry Association, Legend Brands, Encircle, or YouTube) shows that publisher's name with its site favicon in the circular badge.
- Verinode's own research and publications show as "Verinode Research" with the Verinode Research mark, distinguishing them from third-party press.
- Vendor News items are attributed the same way: the originating vendor or publication's name and icon, so a product release from a manufacturer reads as coming from that manufacturer, not from Verinode.
- If a source can't be resolved to a known publisher, the card still shows a readable name (never a raw database slug or an unformatted feed identifier); it just has no icon.
Verinode Research articles carry one extra affordance: a Share to LinkedIn button above the action row that opens LinkedIn's share composer with the article link attached, so you can put your own words around it before posting. This only appears on Verinode's own publications, never on third-party vendor news or trade press, since those aren't Verinode's content to promote.
Watch: the inline video modal
Video cards show a YouTube thumbnail with a play button overlaid. Tapping either the thumbnail or the Watch button opens the video in a modal directly inside Verinode: a centered overlay with the YouTube player embedded, autoplaying, and a close button in the top-right corner (Escape also closes it). You never leave the feed to watch.
Note
Some older or smaller-channel videos don't have a YouTube-generated high-resolution thumbnail. If the sharp thumbnail fails to load, Verinode automatically falls back to YouTube's lower-resolution default image rather than showing a broken image.
Listen: podcasts
Podcast cards show the episode artwork (or a generic waveform icon if no artwork is available) and a decorative waveform strip under the title. Unlike video, there's no in-app player: tapping Listen opens the episode's source page (the host platform) in a new browser tab. The card is a pointer to the episode, not a player for it.
Read: articles, vendor news, and events
Articles, Vendor News, and Event cards all render the same way: a title and a short summary, on a translucent panel over the card's background. Tapping Read opens the source URL in a new browser tab, the same fast-open behavior as podcasts. Event cards work identically; there's no separate registration flow inside Verinode, and no date or venue field distinct from what the summary text itself says. It's a pointer out to the source, exactly like an article.
The bottom-row buttons, by card type
The primary button's label always matches the card type: Watch for video, Listen for podcast, Read for article, vendor news, and event. What the middle and right button do depends on the type:
| Card type | Middle button | What it does | Right button | |---|---|---|---| | Video | Add to playlist | Adds the video to your playlist, then the card shows "Added to playlist" briefly and clears | Ignore | | Podcast | Add to playlist | Same as video | Ignore | | Article | Add to reading list | Adds the article to your reading list, then shows "Added to reading list" briefly and clears | Ignore | | Vendor News | Add to reading list | Same as article | Ignore | | Event | Noted | Marks the card as seen; it shows a brief "Noted" confirmation and clears from the feed | Ignore |
Tapping Ignore on any content card dismisses it with a brief "Dismissed" confirmation and an Undo link before it leaves the deck for good.
Save and share, on the side rail
Next to every content card (visible on wider screens), a vertical rail of icon buttons gives you:
- Save: bookmarks the item independent of the main action row.
- Playlist: on video and podcast cards only, a quick way to add to your playlist without opening the card's own button.
- Read list: on article and vendor news cards only, the same shortcut for reading list.
- Share, LinkedIn, Email, SMS: on every industry content card (article, video, podcast, event, vendor news), since this content is public and safe to broadcast. Your own decisions and internal signals never get these options, only a team-facing Poll share.
- Poll: sends the card to your team for a quick internal reaction, on every card type.
Empty states
If a filter or time range has nothing to show, the feed reads:
No items match this filter
When you've worked through everything current, the feed's final card reads:
All caught up Verinode IQ is continuously analyzing your data and scanning industry sources. New decisions, insights, and updates will appear here as they surface. Check back soon. Your next briefing is building.
Neither empty state is an error. Content volume depends on what's currently relevant across the industry feeds Verinode scans that day, and on your own feed preferences (which formats and topics you've told Verinode you want).
Best-practice example
You open Feed on a Monday morning with the default 30-day range and the All filter. The briefing card at the top summarizes the mix: a handful of decisions needing attention, a few new articles, one video to watch, a podcast episode, and an upcoming industry event. You scroll past two decision cards you act on, then hit a Vendor News card about a new extraction tool from a manufacturer you already use; you tap Read, skim it in a new tab, and come back to the feed exactly where you left off. A Verinode Research piece on carrier payment timing follows; you tap Share to LinkedIn to post it with a line of your own commentary. Later that week, you switch the filter to Events to see what's coming up, and add one relevant conference to your reading list with the side-rail button so it doesn't get lost.
