New Floating Feeds Panel for Large Screens
• 3 min read
We've just released a major new feature for desktop users: the Floating Feeds Panel. If you're using RSS Kit on a large monitor (1080p or higher), you now have a beautiful floating panel for managing your feeds without disrupting your reading experience.
Why a Floating Panel?
On smaller screens, our off-canvas menu works perfectly - it slides in, you manage your feeds, and it gets out of the way. But on large desktop monitors, we wanted something better. The floating panel stays visible while you browse, making feed management seamless.
Key Features:
- Smooth 300ms slide animation - Elegant entrance from the left side
- Persistent until closed - Stays open while you browse articles
- Full feature parity - All feeds, categories, view modes, and stats
- Viewport-aware - Automatically switches to off-canvas on smaller screens
- Scrollable feed list - Handle hundreds of feeds with smooth scrolling
How It Works
Click "My Feeds" in the navigation bar. On screens 1800px wide or larger (typical 1080p monitor with some margin), the floating panel slides in from the left. On smaller screens, the familiar off-canvas menu appears instead.
Screen Size Behaviour:
1080p, 1440p, 4K

Works With Browser Extensions
Using our browser extensions? Feeds you subscribe to via the extension appear instantly in the floating panel. The same "My Feeds" button, the same subscription list - just a better experience on big screens.
Pro tip: Keep the floating panel open while browsing articles. When you find a new feed to subscribe to, it appears in the panel immediately - no page refresh needed!
This update is live now for all users. Just open the RSS Kit reader on your desktop and click "My Feeds" to try it out!
