I think you need to tag some articles before any will show up in the tags list. This feature doesn't interest me at all. I wish they had a simple command to add articles to the Mac OS reading list. I'd really like that. Good luck with your hunt for favourites! -- You received this message becau

Hey Nicholas, Yes, it is strange that I can't seem to find where the favorited articles go. For example in Newsrack, command 3 would take you to the articles you have favorited. Command 3 doesn't do anything in Read Kit, and Command 2 seems to be something called Tags, haven't figured that one

HI Brian, Yes, ReadKit let's you just arrow down through the list of articles and marks them as read once they've been selected. In this sense it's very similar to NewsRack. There's a table for your folders and feeds, and then to the right of it is the table of articles, and then to the right o
