Birdfeeder Reviews and Details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Bluesky's active user base is shrinking as its focus expands beyond the app

  My problem is usually that I bookmark in the app, but then forget about the bookmarks as they are in the walled garden. I've built something for that a few years ago (https://getbirdfeeder.com) that just sends me my Bluesky (And X, Mastodon etc.) bookmarks straight to my email inbox once a month. - Source: Hacker News / 16 days ago

• Jack Dorsey launches Buzz to combine team chat, AI agents and Git hosting

  I've recently built some project that also supports Nostr (https://getbirdfeeder.com, but more for the fun of playing with Nostr) but it feels very forced to use it for something like that. It feels like it's solving an issue that no team chat ever has. > Buzz is built around a self-hostable Nostr relay. Every message, reaction, workflow step, code event and approval is stored as a cryptographically signed event.... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (July 2026)

  I'm building a Twitter (X), Bluesky, Nostr and Mastodon bookmark reminder and manager called https://getbirdfeeder.com. It's a project I've released many years ago but had to shut down during the X API changes. I've now revived it and supported more services. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• It's OK to abandon your side-project

  I always had a hard time with that and kept things running for too long as putting additional work into shutting something down when you already lost interest is a hard sell. Now I usually just add a static landing page, some screenshots how it looked like and turn of the backend (Example: https://getbirdfeeder.com) which makes me feel better about it. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: What are you working on? (April 2025)

  I’m working on supporting photo posts on my blog (Kirby), I bought a new camera and thought it would be nice to share them in one place (Cross post to Mastodon). I’m still looking for a new SaaS idea, so if you have something you want to partner on do reach out. Preferably Rails or Go. Previously I built stuff like https://getbirdfeeder.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Those making $0/month or less on side projects – Show and tell

  I've been working on my Twitter bookmark tool (https://getbirdfeeder.com) for the past year. I have some paying subscribers, but I mostly give that money to DigitalOcean for database and storage hosting. - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• Ask HN: Those with money-making side projects,how did you come up with the idea?

  >"I always forget about things I bookmarked on Twitter" >Result: I built a small project that sends me a weekly email of my newly added Twitter bookmarks (https://getbirdfeeder.com). It doesn't make a lot of money yet but I have some paid subscribers. This is fantastic. I'm gonna check it out. - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• Ask HN: Those with money-making side projects,how did you come up with the idea?

  I know this is usually not the best strategy for coming up with side projects but for me it's just always about solving my own problem. The downside is that I'm solving the problems mostly fellow nerds have that they usually want to solve themselve instead of paying someone to do it for them. Example: "I always forget about things I bookmarked on Twitter" Result: I built a small project that sends me a weekly... - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago
