Mix — Discover, collect, and share the best of the web
Mix is a new way to discover and curate interesting content you find on the internet. We’re not (yet another) source for breaking news -- we take you deeper into the things that interest you most and help you discover cool stuff.

@rrhoover from @gmc "This concept builds in part on the legacy of StumbleUpon, which Expa acquired a little more than a year ago. In addition to bringing on a great team from StumbleUpon, we hired additional talent to start applying what we learned to create a more flexible and modern platform for personalized recommendations." https://medium.com/@gc/mix-com-i... :)
Hey, I'm sorry but I'm not sure I get it, can you give us examples of mixes? How are they consumed? When/why should I create a mix?
It still isn't 100% clear to me
@gflandre We've started some guides but they are still a work in progress. Check out this one to give a general overview of Mix & Mixes, also. https://support.mix.com/getting-...
I’m excited to share the great product our engineering team has been building at Mix.
The goal of Mix is to provide a space where you, people you know, and experts share and discover the best of the web.
Our strong data science and machine learning is going into providing the best experience tailored to you based on your interests and match it with the content we find and receive. We hope to cut through the noise of current news and social media apps.
We’re in the early stages, but we really hope you’ll join us and help us grow and improve.

As a user of Reddit, who has tried and abandoned Flipboard, I don't see a compelling reason for me to try this. Sell me.
It's interesting that we don't have a go-to platform to find and share lighter, fluffier things without feeling like the content is so tied to who we are as a person (unlike Facebook). Some have Twitter, but if I discover something interesting and want to share it with my tighter network, I don't really have that place to go. Fingers crossed here...
@kleinkleinklein "a go-to platform to find and share lighter, fluffier things without feeling like the content is so tied to who we are as a person" almost perfectly describes a key insight behind https://sequel.me/ Mix is cool but focused on link sharing. If you're looking for something designed around taking the pressure off sharing, check out Sequel.
I've been beta testing Mix for awhile now and it's the best thing in the world for a few different use cases:
- sharing links w friends via the app bc they don't get lost in text threads/inboxes
- when twitter commentary started to get over-the-top, mix separates the content signal from the noise
- keeping content i like organized by topic and following topics from friends and experts i trust
big congrats to @paulyiu @a_li @ebogod @raxityo @gmc @vl!
Definitely an interesting idea, keen to see how it turns out over time. Love the design by the way!
Mix is attractive, fun, and easy to dig into. It also offers a new way of slicing across the expertise we bring to any subject to expose a shareable cross-section of our approach to what we do and what we enjoy. I can see this evolving in a lot of directions. Good work!
I've been waiting for a platform like this for a long time. I can't wait to take the time and see if it lives up to what I have in mind. Thanks for sharing!
@jimmys we have plans to create an Android app in the future. You can access the web app with limited functionality at https://mix.com/login
Hey I am Paul from the Mix team. We made this app to connect people with interests that matter to them. Mixes are basically playlists of good stuff around topics. As you follow people’s mixes and create your own, we get smarter about recommending good content to you. We want humans and algorithms to collaborate to give you the best of the web. We hope you will give it a try. Would love any feedback.
@paulyiu I was a user of StumbleUpon and I only stop using because of Digg and blogs started to give better and more curated content in those days. Reading the makers talking about MIX, sounds like a new way of discovering things. We definitely need more tools to discover content that does not heavily depend on search. Something that really works, could disrupt the big players of every social platform. But I am using MIX in the Web version and looks more like a Pinterest for tech. It isn't appealing to me. To save things like this, I still prefer Pocket.
mix working very well all news, the content providing very well i discover interesting things thank you.
