    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.

    🏁 Competitors: Fraidycat
    👍 Pros:    Source priority support|Category priority support
    👎 Cons:    Opinionated

  • 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
  • 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 / 12 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
  • How to rebuild social media on top of RSS
    I'd say that you are the perfect user for my new RSS reader/tracker https://lenns.io/. What is more, you assign priorities to both subscriptions and categories so that you can have the ones you care the most always at the top. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • How to rebuild social media on top of RSS
    With this in context, anyone here that wants to beta-test my feed-reader (opinionated) that gives you tools to better track feed reads? - you can assign priorities to your feed subscriptions or their categories - you can limit the number of items you can see per feed so that they can't overtake your "dashboard". https://lenns.io/ (p.s. Thanks for any feedback). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Ooh.directory
    A shameless plug - I've built (recently) a simple yet powerful blog reader that could satisfy the needs of most people https://lenns.io. Why - it solves three primary issues with "traditional" readers: 1) You can follow websites (based on blog-post titles) when there isn't a proper RSS feed. 2) You have control on how many results per feed to have listed (e.g. Not having your whole feed overloaded with the posts... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Always Own Your Platform (2019)
    With regards to RSS, I'm building a new RSS reader focussed on using RSS without being overwhelmed. That's achieved by giving priority to sources and categories, and having a limit on the number of items per source. If that sounds interesting to you, please give it try https://lenns.io. You can import/export your subscriptions so you can come and go whenever you want. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
  • Increasing the Surface Area of Blogging
    If you are interested in alternative feed representation, I'd invite you to give a go to my feed reader that was inspired by Fraidyc.at, yet offers a bit more configuration. For example, setting different priority per feed source or category, and how many items you'd like to see per source. That way, you get to have more control over what you read. And it offers full OPML import/export. I.e. You can come and go... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
