• Ask HN: How do you organize your life?

  Write things down! All the weird things and ideas, put them into categories and write them down. This categories can also have a to do list. Use some kind of calendar.

• Google Reader shut down announced ten years ago today

  In these threads I see a lot of RSS reader recommendations, but never the one I use, which is in fact the only personal software I pay for: https://bazqux.com It started around when Google Reader shut down and had all the exact features Google Reader had.

• Google helped destroy adoption of RSS feeds

  I haven't used it in a while but https://theoldreader.com/ seemed like a fairly drop-in replacement for Google Reader. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• The future of /r/videos.

  Perhaps. I fired up my ancient Old Reader account last night and started adding some feeds I'm interested in. Pretty hilarious looking back at the ones I had like 10 years ago (99% of were dead). Source: 11 months ago

  Https://theoldreader.com is an exact clone. Source: about 1 year ago

• Canberra events RSS feed?
