   It is a nice mini-blog, it's for free and such but

   As a mini-blog, it is a nice alternative for Medium to publish and share information about programming.

   However, the community and the organization are biased toward social justice (and they are open to it). You can read its Code of Conduct, it is so vague and politically leads (I prefer a term of service because it defines fair rules for everybody). So it alienates developers that we don't care about politics in pro of people that want to talk about any other topic such as sexuality, how women are unprivileged, and such. It even mandates to use inclusive language. Good grief.

   My main complaint is the quality of the community. It is not StackOverflow (so we don't want to ask for an answer here), and most of the top topics are clickbait, such as "how to become a rockstar developer in ... days", "100 tips to become a better programmer" (and it doesn't even talk about programming).

   Technically this "mini blog" site allows us to use markdown, and it is okay. However, the whole experience is really basic. Even the template is ugly.

• [Showoff Saturday] I created an app where you can follow people and get news from multiple social medias / websites

  The reason to use the app is that you spend less time scrolling around on social media and instead can focus only on the news that you care about and then continue with the rest of your day. Like I said, I am trying to get pricing right but collecting these news costs very fast very much for me. The server is scraping for new content every 30 mins and services like Twitter and YouTube have hard rate limits with... Source: over 2 years ago

• Does anybody know of an RSS Reader similar to 1Feed?

  Just for context, https://1feed.app is an app that’s an rss reader for everything on the internet, not just articles, so like tweets, youtube videos, and even tiktoks with a little bit of messing around. I love 1feed but the Paywall is very deterring especially since it’s a subscription based service. The only reason I would get the pro version would be to have multiple tabs because if you have too many feeds on... Source: almost 3 years ago
