The feed on mobile

What this is

On the web, your feed is a scroll: one card after another down the middle of the screen, a side rail of buttons floating next to each card. On mobile it is the opposite of a scroll, it is a deck. Every card fills the whole screen, edge to edge, one at a time, and you clear it with a swipe: right to act, left to ignore, or straight up to move to the next card. It is the same underlying feed as the web version, the same decisions, the same dollar figures, the same peer content, just laid out for a thumb instead of a mouse. For what shows up in the feed and how the mix is chosen, read the feed. This article covers the mobile-only parts: the swipe deck itself, the first-run welcome slide, the one-time "Tune your feed" setup, and how the touch gestures map to the desktop side rail's buttons.

Verinode never decides anything on your behalf here. The feed surfaces what it has found and waits for your call: act, snooze, save, or ignore. You always make the decision.

Where to find it

The mobile feed is the home tab. Open the app and it's the first thing you land on, route /m. There's no separate "Feed" entry to tap for, it's the app's front door.

The deck itself

Each card is a full-screen slide. You scroll vertically to move from one to the next, the same up-and-down motion as scrolling any list, snapped so a card always lands centered on the screen rather than half-cut-off. Layered inside each card are three things:

• A filter row, pinned near the top, that narrows what's in the deck.
• The card content, the title, dollar figure, source, and body copy for whatever this particular card is.
• An action rail, a stack of round buttons anchored to the bottom-right corner, mirroring the desktop side rail but built for a thumb.

Filter pills and the time window

A row of pills sits just under the top bar: All, Decisions, Content, Events. Tap one to narrow the deck to just that kind of card; the deck resets to the top of the new, narrower list every time you change the filter, so you always start from the first card in whatever you just selected.

To its right is a rounded dropdown showing the current time window with a count in parentheses, for example "30 days (12)". Tap it to switch between Today, This week, 30 days, and All time. The number in parentheses updates for each option so you can see how many cards are waiting in that window before you pick it. 30 days is the default: unfiltered, an active operator's feed can run to dozens of cards, so the window keeps the deck to a size you can actually get through. The count and the pills stack together, so what you see at any moment is always both a type and a window at once. For the full mechanics of how these two controls combine, read filtering the feed, which covers the same behavior shared with the web version.

The gestures

Three gestures do all the work, and they map directly onto three buttons in the desktop side rail:

| Mobile gesture | Desktop equivalent | What it does | |---|---|---| | Swipe right | The green Act button | Commits the card: for a decision this opens it to act on; for content it marks it read and clears it | | Swipe left | The red Ignore button | Dismisses the card for good; it won't come back | | Swipe up (scroll) | Scrolling past a card | Moves to the next card without committing either way |

While you're dragging a card, a colored overlay fades in over it, green with the word Act (or Save for a non-decision card) sliding in from the right, red with Ignore (or Skip) from the left, so you can see which way the card is about to commit before you let go. You need to drag past a short threshold before it counts; a small drag that doesn't clear the threshold just snaps back to center, no harm done. The deck is built to tell a genuine sideways swipe apart from an ordinary vertical scroll, so scrolling down the deck never accidentally triggers an Act or an Ignore.

The action rail

Down the bottom-right corner of every card, a stack of round buttons gives you the same actions the swipe gestures do, plus a couple that don't have a gesture of their own:

• Snooze, on decisions and Action Plan / Win cards only. Sets the card aside; it comes back later rather than disappearing for good. This is the same "park" behavior described in parking and dismissing cards.
• Save, on every card. Bookmarks it so you can find it again without it sitting in your active deck. The icon fills in solid once a card is saved.
• Share, LinkedIn, Email, SMS, on public content cards only (industry articles, videos, podcasts, vendor news, events). These hand the card to someone outside Verinode, the same rail actions covered in sharing feed insights. Your own decisions and internal signals never carry these buttons, only content Verinode has published or aggregated for the industry at large.

A small toast confirms whatever you just did, "Saved," "Snoozed," "Link copied," and so on, and for anything you commit with a swipe (Act or Ignore) or Snooze, that toast turns into an Undo button for a few seconds. Tap it and the card comes right back, the same short grace window as the desktop feed. If you don't tap Undo in time, the action stands.

High-stakes decisions need a second swipe

A decision or bundle carrying a large enough dollar impact behaves a little differently on the first right-swipe. Instead of committing immediately, the card snaps back to center and a banner appears near the top reading something like "$40k · Swipe Again To Confirm." A second right-swipe within a few seconds commits the Act; if you don't swipe again in time, the confirm banner clears and the card goes back to behaving normally. This exists purely to stop a fast-flicking thumb from committing a big-dollar Act by accident, it never blocks or delays a small decision.

Bundled decisions

When Verinode has grouped several related decisions into one card (a "Decisions" card rather than a single "Decision" card), the two gestures behave slightly differently than on a single card:

• Swipe right opens the full list of decisions inside that bundle so you can look at, and act on, each one individually, rather than committing the whole bundle at once.
• Swipe left dismisses every decision inside the bundle in one motion.

Everything else about how bundles are assembled and what they mean is covered in grouped decision cards.

Action Plan and Win cards

Two more card types swipe a little differently:

• An Action Plan card (a step from a plan you're already working through) swipes right to open that plan's workspace and continue it, and swipes left to mark the current step skipped.
• A Win card (a completed plan, asking you to report back on how it went) swipes right to open the workspace where you record the outcome, and swipes left to dismiss the celebration for good.

Both also carry the Snooze button in the rail, setting the reminder aside for a day rather than dismissing it outright.

What every card shows

Whatever kind of card you land on, the same layout repeats: a small identity pill up top (who or what this is from, plus how long ago it arrived, "· 3h ago," "· 2d ago"), a type label beside it ("Decision," "Decisions," "Action Plan," "Win," "Article," "Video," "Podcast," "Event," "Vendor News," "Weather," "Your Agent," "Insight," "Advisory," "Progress," "Finding," "Network," or "Verinode" for a marketing poster), and the card's main content vertically centered so it's readable no matter what device or screen size you're on.

For a decision, that center content is the dollar figure and why it matters:

• A hard, recoverable dollar ("Recoverable" label plus a bare figure like "$18,400") when Verinode is confident in the number.
• A conditional dollar ("Could recover ~$X if…") when the figure depends on something happening first, the clause always travels with the number, never a bare dollar on its own.
• A Calculated or Estimated tag under the figure, telling you whether the number came from your own records or from an estimate, plus a short basis sentence when Verinode has one, so you can see how it arrived at the headline before you act on it.
• IQ recommends, a short line of what Verinode suggests doing about it, when there is a recommendation attached.

For an onboarding or setup card, a slim progress bar reading something like "Account Setup · 3/8" tracks your overall account-completeness across every onboarding milestone, not just this one card, so you can see how much is left as you clear each setup step.

For industry content (articles, videos, podcasts, vendor news, events) that carries a dollar figure of its own, the label reads "Value at stake" instead of "Recoverable," since it's describing the stakes in the story, not money owed directly to you.

The welcome slide

The very first slide in the deck, every time you open the mobile feed on the unfiltered All view, is a full-bleed photo card: your name in a greeting, a one-line subtitle, and (when your notification preferences have daily proverbs turned on) a short italicized quote at the bottom. It carries the Verinode IQ mark in the top-left corner and, once you've earned rank or founder/trustee status, a small badge stack in the top-right. A line at the very bottom reads "Scroll up to begin." It's not a decision and it isn't the same as the desktop's daily briefing card in every particular, think of it as the day's cover page: read it in a couple of seconds, then scroll past it into the real deck. It never appears in a filtered view (Decisions, Content, or Events), only when you're looking at everything.

Get oriented and Tune your feed (first-run only)

Two more slides can appear right after the welcome photo, only while you're still new to Verinode, and both retire for good once you've answered them:

• Get oriented is a short, plain-English table of contents for how Verinode works, and the on-request entry point to a six-slide welcome tour. Covered in full in the Get oriented tour.
• Tune your feed is a one-time setup card asking three quick questions: how many decisions you want Verinode to prepare each week, how much industry news and learning content you want riding alongside them, and which formats (articles, video, podcast, and so on) you actually take in. Two buttons, Save and Not now, both retire the card for good, "Not now" keeps your defaults and simply stops asking. Neither one is a gate, skip it and Verinode falls back to sensible defaults that already work well. You can always come back and adjust these three answers later in Settings. The full mechanics, including what each of the three questions controls, are in tuning your feed.

Both slides sit below the welcome photo on purpose, you land on the greeting first and scroll down into them, rather than being interrupted by a pop-up.

When you're caught up

Once you've swiped through every card in the current filter and time window, the deck ends on a caught-up slide: a checkmark, the heading "You're caught up," and one of two lines depending on whether you cleared anything this session:

• If you swiped through at least one card: "N cleared. IQ is watching for the next thing worth your attention."
• If the deck was already empty: "IQ is watching for the next thing worth your attention. New decisions appear here when something changes."

A View Saved button underneath links out to your bookmarked items. This is not a dead end, it's Verinode telling you plainly that nothing else is waiting right now, and that new cards will appear here on their own as your data changes, you don't need to go looking for them or refresh anything.

How this differs from the desktop feed

The underlying feed, the cards, the dollar figures, the filters, is identical on both surfaces; Verinode computes it once and both surfaces read the same data. What changes on mobile is purely the interaction model:

• One card at a time, full screen, versus a scrollable column of cards with room to see more than one at once on the desktop.
• Swipe gestures replace clicking buttons for the two most common actions, Act and Ignore, though the same actions are still available as tappable buttons in the rail if you'd rather not swipe.
• The action rail is a vertical stack of icon buttons in the bottom-right corner, rather than a rail floating to the side of the card the way it does on a wide desktop window.
• High-stakes decisions require a genuine second gesture (a repeated swipe) to confirm, a mobile-specific safeguard against a fast thumb-flick committing a big-dollar Act by accident. The desktop feed doesn't need this, a mouse click is already a deliberate, singular action.

Everything you do on either surface, saving, snoozing, acting, dismissing, is the same underlying action recorded against the same card, so switching between your phone and your laptop mid-session never duplicates or loses anything.

1. 1Open the app. You land on the home tab, the mobile feed, at /m.
2. 2Read the welcome slide, then scroll up (past it) into the deck.
3. 3On a new account, work through Get oriented and Tune your feed if they appear, either answer the three quick questions or tap Not now.
4. 4For each card, swipe right to act, left to ignore, or scroll past to move on. Use the rail's Snooze or Save when neither committing nor ignoring is the right call yet.
5. 5Adjust the filter pills and time window at any point to change what's in the deck.
6. 6When you reach "You're caught up," you're done for now, new cards will appear as your data changes.
