   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.

• I'm proud of my confirmation bias! Who's with me?!

  Yeah that is my beef with Google. I get WebMD might have a bit more info than howayahuascahealseverything.com , but smaller sites had more niche information. For me torrents, Yandex, and https://theoldnet.com/ are how I jam. If I need something simple I am not going to cry, but I find those sources much more unique (not so say that all are reliable, but it is surprisingly hard to find hobo websites now, but not on...

• Things to do on WINDOWS XP VM?

  Don't log into any accounts but apart from that you should be safe within your VM. As to what to do you could play old games, look at old websites through theoldnet.com, listen to old songs through win amp and stare at the visualizations(bonus points if you're high). Source: about 1 year ago

• Feeling bored of the internet, nostalgic, or want alternatives to Google? Here's a list of search engines!

  Lastly, if you're here because you miss the old/small web, try using Marginalia Search, Wiby, High Browse, or explore new frontiers through Gemini. There's also TheOldNet and Old'aVista, ProtoWeb, and Neocities. Source: about 1 year ago

• Dreamcast browser shows pics as Checkmarks

  Are they loading over HTTPS? I think the dreamcast browser is too old to really support proper secure protocols these days. You can try loading it through http://theoldnet.com/ and see what it makes of it. Source: about 1 year 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 / 9 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
