DLE Flow: Personal Feed

The main innovation is — "My Feed". This is an exclusive page available to authorized users that becomes their digital information hub. Instead of manually tracking dozens of sections, the user gets a single, smart stream of publications formed on the basis of two key types of subscriptions:

1. Category subscriptions (thematic sections): The user can follow entire content areas. Passionate about gaming? Subscribe to the "Games" section. Following technology? The "Gadgets" section. The feed automatically aggregates all news from selected categories.
2. Author subscriptions (users): Do you value the opinion of a specific expert, blogger, or journalist? Now you can subscribe to a person, not just a section. All new materials from your favorite authors will come into a single feed, regardless of which category they are published in.

The result of "My Feed": An intelligent merge of two streams. The user sees chronologically sorted news — newest first — from all subscribed categories and all subscribed authors. This guarantees that they will never miss anything important to them.

Subscription management center: "Category Catalog"

To give users full control and an easy start, the plugin creates an intuitive page "Category Catalog". This is a visual map of all site content, presented in a convenient-to-browse format (list, grid, or tree structure — depending on settings). Here you can:

• View all site sections, even those the user may not have known about.
• See statistics (the number of materials in a category).
• Instantly subscribe or unsubscribe to any category in one click, without going to it.

Contextual subscription: integrated into the site interface

Understanding that interest in a category often arises while viewing its content, «DLE Flow» embeds subscription functionality directly into the category view page. Next to the section title or in a specially designated block, a concise "Subscribe" button appears (or "You are subscribed" / "Unsubscribe"). This shortens the path from interest to action as much as possible, increasing engagement and retention.

Key advantages and uniqueness of the plugin:

• Depth of engagement: Keeps users on the site longer by offering them value created by themselves — their personal feed.
• Increased return visits: A user who has created their own feed will regularly come back to check updates, just like on social networks.
• Increased loyalty to authors: The user subscription mechanism creates their own communities of readers around authors, strengthening their status.
• Ease of management: All subscription management is intuitive and available in 1-2 clicks.
• Flexibility for the administrator: Plugin settings allow you to adjust the design, button placement, page titles, and other parameters for perfect integration into your DLE site design.
• Incentive to publish: Authors see the number of subscribers, which is direct feedback and motivation to create quality content.
