The content aggregator that managed to conquer mobile users back in 2010, makes the leap to the web We refer to the successful application Flipboard, which has already become a renowned tool on mobiles and now seeks to be so on computers as well. All of this from the comfort of a tab in your Internet browser, without ever neglecting its exquisite visual designnor the editorial possibilities of creating their own magazine.
It's not the first time that Flipboard tests computer users, and it already has its application for Windows 8 since last year, although now it expands its possibilities by reaching any user from the Internet, be it whatever your operating system and without the need for applications Just access the website Flipboard.comand start browsing the publications, sections and magazines created With a structure similar to that seen in the applications, but with an experience and visual design adapted to the Internet navigator
Just go in and enter the user data for this tool, or create a new one if it's the first time you've tried it. From now on Flipboard displays various topics that can be from interest for the user in order to present a cover loaded with content.Of course, the user himself can add those sources of information that he prefers, searching through the magnifying glass icon both media such as web pages, Flipboard magazines created by other users or by the team of this tool and even add the user accounts of different social networks such as Instagram, YouTube or Twitter (among many others), to enjoy all the content in one place.
The user experience is somewhat different from what is seen in applications. And it is that the renewed visual aspect has a lot to do with it. While Flipboard originally conquered the users of iPad for its flip animation when changing pages and content, folding in on itself to make way for new information, now uses scroll animations and different layers to dazzle the user on the web.With this, there are no 3D animations, but there is movement of the contents when sliding down in the natural movement of web pages. In this way, while you are in Flipboard, the contents are displayed with images and texts adapted to the computer screen and that are placed one on top of the other in an aesthetic and very attractive way, losing sight of them when using the mouse wheel.
The good thing about Flipboard on the web is that the user can continue using their magazines and find out what's new in all the ones that follow By signing with your account, you recover all the content just as it happens in the application. In addition, the share option is still present both on the covers of magazines and onindividual content, being able to send reference links via email or by posting them on social networks.
In short, a more than worthy adaptation for a prestigious tool. Design and functionality that reach the web to open up to more users. All this completely free.
