Of course, we absolutely agree that you shouldn't build everything. I'm curious, for the best PMs you've worked with, what tactics did they use to get to that underlying problem?

I found myself writing the same logic over and over to interact with chatbots, so created a library to make that easier.

Really? What do you have against typescript?

For me, I feel like all of the off the shelf options for authentication are difficult to manage. Every new project I spend an hour or two digging around for options, ultimately throwing up my hands and building my own.

What do you like about newsboat? This is another one I haven't heard of.

I was subscribed to HN for a while, but found it was a bit overwhelming. Do you just make a point to spend some time on it, or do you have a way of cutting through the noise?

What do you like about Feedbin? I've never heard of that one.

Huh, I think I'd feel like I'm missing out on too much that way. How do you handle that blog from a random friend who never got around to creating a Twitter account? I wish I could say that's a hypothetical in my case :-)

Oh, awesome, I didn't realize youtube still let you subscribe to an rss feed.

When I've self-hosted I've found I occasionally have to do maintenance that I find annoying. Most recently, I had a nextcloud server I needed to move to a bigger hard drive, which was a huge pain.

Have you just not run into those kinds of hurdles, or is it worth it to own your own data?

Interesting. Are you looking around just to see what's out there, or are there things you don't like about Inoreader?

That's cool. Why did you decide to use something self-hosted instead of a service like feedly?
