Notes
- RSSHub: Folo natively supports RSSHub routes for sites without native RSS (e.g.,
rsshub://36kr/hot-list,rsshub://bilibili/user/video/xxx) - Entry IDs: Article URLs contain 18-digit numeric IDs (e.g.,
258443124254170112) - AI features: AI summaries and translation are Pro-only; mention this if relevant
- Unread counts: Shown as badges next to feed groups (e.g., "99+", "21")
- Efficiency tip: Use
browser_snapshotrather than screenshots to read page content efficiently - Always use the web app: If Folo shows a prompt to download the desktop app, open the mobile app, or use a deep link (e.g.,
folo://...), ignore it and stay in the browser. Always navigate usinghttps://app.folo.is/...URLs. Never suggest or follow desktop/mobile app links.
