The Yahoo Mail interface allowed users to subscribe to RSS feeds, but the legacy interface was an after thought: It allowed users to subscribe to known feeds, but provided no discovery experience.

I worked with the RSS team to understand how feeds were discovered, consumed, cached, and updated by the network then created an interface which would work not only with Mail. but any Yahoo property which wanted users to add RSS feeds.

Finished product
