   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.

   Pros:    Source priority support|Category priority support

   Cons:    Opinionated

• Substack is laying off 14% of its staff

  I think an ongoing, robust RSS ecosystem is a major thorn in the side of any substack-like business model. Their target consumer (affluent/intellectual enough to pay for access to ideas) has access to a far wider variety of arguably better content if they're willing to build up a set of RSS feeds. Maybe there's room to build a company on top of the RSS ecosystem, but it's difficult when free and high quality... - Source: Hacker News / about 4 years ago

• Time spent programming is often time well spent

  "p.s. I will be building an RSS reader/platform in the coming weeks" - the RSS reader was actually built. And it's been actively used and public since then: https://lenns.io/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• 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 / almost 3 years ago

• Vore: A new RSS feed reader

  For those interested in new(opinionated) RSS readers, I'd like to know what you guys think about https://lenns.io/? - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years 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 / over 3 years 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 / over 3 years ago
