Bloomscroll Hosted

PRE-LAUNCH · NOT OPEN YET

Bloomscroll,
without the setup.

The same intentional reader, hosted for you.
Sign in with your Ideaflow account.

Add the reading feeds you choose, balance fresh discoveries with things worth returning to, and keep your Save, Read later and review in one place, on any device with a browser. Nothing to download or keep running.

Coming soon

Sign-in is not available yet. When the beta opens it will be a small, invite-only group, and this page will become the app.

PLANNED FOR THE FIRST BETA

What hosted Bloomscroll
will do.

This is the plan, not a shipped product. It may change before launch.

↗

Your reading feeds

Add RSS and Atom feeds. That also covers public YouTube channels, Substack, Bluesky, Mastodon and most blogs. Feeds refresh on a schedule, so you don't press refresh.

◐

Discover and reflect

The same balance between fresh discoveries and your saved material, with the reason each post appears and its original link.

Planned · beta
◷

Save, Read later, Up next

Save what deserves another visit, queue things for later, and review what you want to remember, with Up next gathering it in one page.

TWO WAYS TO USE BLOOMSCROLL

BEFORE IT OPENS

Honest details.

Can I sign in now?

No. The hosted app isn't built yet, so the button above does nothing. When the first beta opens, invited people will sign in with their Ideaflow account; everyone else will see a waitlist.

Who can see my library?

Your subscriptions, saves, Read later, reflections and review are private to your account; other people in the beta can't see them. Ideaflow's operators can technically access stored data and backups, which are kept for up to 35 days. A privacy notice will explain this in full before launch.

Will there be a way to export or delete my library?

Yes. Deleting your account is planned for the first beta, and exporting your library is planned soon after.

Is there a phone app?

There is a separate phone beta for notes, saved links, Read later, reflection and practice. It doesn't share a library with hosted or standalone Bloomscroll yet.
