   The unique RSS/website reader

   Lenns.io is more than a RSS reader. It's a website reader as it can follow posts by titles in cases when there isn't an exposed RSS feed.

   My favourite part is setting priorities per source and category as well as limiting the number of posts per source. That way, a single source cannot overflow my feed.

• Ask HN: Show me your half baked project

  Https://lenns.io/ - it may not be exactly ready for prime time (lacking communication & marketing); however, it's been fully functional and my RSS reader of choice for the last 2 years. Why - a single source cannot overwhelm my feed; I can set priorities to sources and categories;. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Ask HN: Most interesting tech you built for just yourself?

  I built an opinionated RSS/website reader - https://lenns.io. Everyone can register and use it, but it's built based on my requirements and vision only. Yet, I believe it could be useful to others, and that's why I made it open for everyone to use. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Google Reader Inspired RSS Reader

  For those interested in "alternative" RSS Readers, I'd welcome you giving a go to my opinionated RSS (not only) reader - https://lenns.io. It supports tracking articles by headlines in those cases when a blog or a website doesn't support RSS. Plus a few other goodies, like assigning priorities to your feeds (and topics) and limiting the number of posts per source. Enjoy. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• It's Time for an RSS Revival

  Have you considered an RSS reader that "reads" non-RSS publications? That's what I've tried to do with Lenns.io. You can subscribe to any blog/website, regardless of their RSS support. Then, if they don't expose an RSS feed - the website's titles are followed. That works with about 90% success. I'd be happy if you give it a go https://lenns.io. Bonus - you can set priorities to feeds and the number of items per... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Show HN: I ranked news websites by speed

  While LegibleNews does well in speed, to me, a newspaper or a news source needs to be extremely dense. I don't want to scroll forever to painfully be blasted with negative space. A single glance at the page should reveal all headlines. NYTimes and WSJ have a really good density of information. But, my favorite is this tech news site that loads fast and is super dense: https://skimfeed.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
