The blog post provides a comprehensive guide to building a custom in-app feed using the Knock JavaScript client, inspired by the design of Notion's in-app feed. It details the process using Next.js and shadcn/ui to create a user interface where users can mark items as read, archive them, and switch between different feed views. It further explains setting up the Knock client, configuring in-app channels, and workflows to fetch and manage user feed data. The tutorial includes practical steps for cloning a GitHub repository, installing dependencies, and configuring Knock with API keys and user IDs. Through the implementation of features such as real-time updates, message engagement status management, and conditional rendering of feed items, the post demonstrates the flexibility and customization options available with Knock's tools, while also highlighting design elements that enhance user experience, such as opacity adjustments for read items and the inclusion of a "New" icon for unread items.
