Understanding feed types
Public, private, draft, and custom feeds, what each one does and when to use it.
Feeds are collections of receipts organized around a video or topic. They're how you organize, share, and collaborate on annotations. Vid Receipts comes with built-in feeds for every video, plus the ability to create unlimited custom feeds.
At a glance
Public
Shared with everyone. AI-moderated for quality.
Private
Your personal notes. Only you can see them.
Drafts
Work in progress. Stored locally on your device.
Custom
Your feeds. Share with teams, groups, or anyone.
Public feed
Every video has one shared Public feed. It's the community space where anyone who's signed in can post receipts.
- Visible to all users on that video
- Receipts are subject to AI moderation to keep things constructive
- Great for community-wide timestamped, rich-text annotations, fact-checking, and open discussion
Private feed
Your Private feed is your personal collection of receipts on a video. Only you can see it.
- Completely private, no one else has access
- Not moderated, so you can write freely
- Good for personal notes, research, and bookmarking key moments
Drafts
Drafts is your scratchpad for receipts that are written but not yet published.
- Stored locally on your device
- Not visible to anyone else
- Perfect for receipts you've written and want to review before publishing
- When a draft is ready, you can move it to any other feed. Public, Private, or a Custom feed
Drafts vs Working Tray: The Drafts feed holds receipts you've explicitly saved as drafts, they're "done for now" and waiting to be published. The Working Tray is your active editing workspace where you compose receipts in real-time. Think of the Tray as your desk and Drafts as your filing cabinet.
Custom feeds
Custom feeds are where things get flexible. You create them, you control them.
- Create feeds for specific projects, teams, topics, or interests
- Tie a feed to a single video or make it global so it appears across all videos
- Share with specific people or groups, each with their own permission level
- Toggle feeds to Discoverable so others can find and subscribe to them
- Perfect for study groups, research teams, content creator collaborations, and more

Why Vid Receipts
Vid Receipts is rich note-taking for video. Pin notes to the exact second with images, documents, and embedded clips, then keep them private, share them with your team, or publish them to the community. Here is how it compares to comments, note apps, and review tools, and when each one fits.
