Well done! Fun.

There used to be an old desktop sit (called one something or signal something?) back in the halcyon days of Web 2.0

Used to have TechCrunch and Mashable etc., go to for a quick skim.

Love that you’ve done this for the mobile era!!

Best of luck with it.

Thank you.

Yeah, there were a lot of such sites and still are. https://alltop.com/ was Guy Kawasaki's one (now seems to be someone else). https://upstract.com/ is another. But yeah, I definitely remember others.

This is a super job for an aggregate! I wish I used you as an example in my failed thread a while ago; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30296889

I'm working on my own with a social community aspect attached allowing users to comment on these items, similar to HN.

I worked on a somewhat similar project a few years back and it's really nice to see what it should have looked like. Great job!

And I say unto you: He who reads the Internet all at once will become as smart as GPT-3.

Suggestion: Replace reddit r/worldnews with r/anime_titties because r/worldnews is biased towards Americans and does not accurately portray world news, more like American news 2.0 with a casual sprinkle of world-events that affect America.

There's a variety of sources from different parts of the world. Paid accounts can customize or add their own RSS sources, so you can read r/anime_titties if you'd like.

I pretty darn sure I saw Sumi on Github, is there any particular reason that it's now removed?

Edit: Found the repo (removed by author) and double spam threads commited here on HN adveritsing how cheap it now is to subscribe to Sumi.

You’re right the source was on GitHub for a while. It’s no longer open source because people would open issues asking how to run it, or asking for features, etc. and I’d rather spend my time improving the product for the people who pay for it.

It’s written in Haskell using twain, blaze-html, selda, and feed packages.

I’m not sure what you’re referring to about spam threads.

Roughly how many people have you got paying for it? (Obviously don’t share if you don’t want to, but the pricing seems spot-on)

looks good. I made something similar just for my own use that includes short summaries of the articles using a text analyzer. How come you don't have Reuters and the AP?

Good job on this.

I find myself using this daily over my RSS reader since it has a better UI. I really just want to scroll through a bunch of news sites and scan for some interesting articles. My RSS reader is so overwhelming that I don't even open it when I feel like wasting time.
