I just got a Christmas present. I know it is not Xmas yet but I couldn’t help it and I am using my new Samsung GalaxyTab3 (no, I don’t get endorsements from Samsung… I wish). It was not all cheating since we had to transfer things from my previous GalaxyTab to this one, and get it ready for Xmas right?
Ok, now to the purpose of this post I guess. I have never heard of Flipboard before; my first exposure to it was when I was presented with the widget that was in one of the Tab3 screens. And now that I did find it I have to say that it is extremely addictive. I am a sucker for all types of news, articles and the like and Flipboard just presents it in an awesome magazine-like way. Anyway after a day or so of playing with the application and creating some of my own content then I started wondering if I could see this (Vira-app) WordPress blog in Flipboard. And it turns out you can!
In Flipboard go to search (the row with the magnifier) and type the following:
feed://vira-app.com/feed/
And that is it! It is that easy. Now you can see this blog through the fantastic UI of Flipboard. I think I prefer to see this blog Flipped. Also, some striking design ‘issues’ have started to flow through when I see it like that. The first one is that I need to maybe get a couple of more colours happening for the graphs, and also that I should do something about my face… but the second one is harder.
