The layer where every human activity became a venture-backed destination, every destination became a feed, every feed became ad inventory, and every ad market became a machine for producing more things to interrupt you with.
Underneath that layer is another internet: older, slower, less polished, harder to monetize, and much harder to kill.
It is not utopia. It is full of spam, abandoned servers, broken clients, hostile nodes, strange old commands, half-maintained software, and people arguing in plain text about things no normal person should care about.
To be fair, it’s an interesting approach at RSS reader. It’s not like the rest.
It dynamically ranges the flow of content based on the source type and urgency. Breaking news are on top, but only for a few hours. Long reads stay for longer. After a while, old content disappears as to not overwhelm the user. It also applies different settings to news outlets and personal pages. So, this is one of the most advanced takes on RSS I’ve ever seen.
But alas, only available for iOS.
