Show HN: I built a tech news aggregator that works the way my brain does (deadstack.net)

I've built a couple different versions of this for myself over the years. I like yours! Thanks for sharing.

Really nice and clean, well done.

What is the purpose of having summaries for "Recent", "Incoming", and "Outgoing" all at the top? Seems like all content from the later two are in the first, right?

RSS?

This is great! Are you using a news API or pulling in RSS feeds yourself? Is there a list of what sources are included?

Cool site, an About page would be useful. It's hard to tell how the site works.

I love that your site comes with an overview instead of clicking away to another site immediately. Feels snappy and looks good. I can see this being my news roundup. Great work!

Really good, clean and to the point, love it.

Simplistic site, looks clean and easy to navigate!

This is neat! Thanks for sharing.

If you can get rid of the cookies message that would be great, as I will place the site as an app in my phone and that message is annoying to have when I open it.

This is pretty cool man. How do you cluster the articles into stories? It looks like you did a good job of it.

I have done similar style for tech news. Aggravating based on Tags. That way I can read tech news on micro topics. https://embit.ca/ Your feedback is appreciated.

This is probably a dumb question, but.. what does "incoming" and "outgoing" mean?

I like it. It kind of reminds me of the old Fever RSS reader, which would group together similar articles from different sources, and use that to rank how hot a story was.

Love it, but the body font (garamond) is not easy on the eyes. Garamond is one of my favorite fonts in print and at not-too-small sizes. On the screen it doesn't look good because where the characters get thin it gets too thin (or as font experts call it, too much contrast).

Pretty cool! How do you do to build these "stories" based on news?

cool, how did you create it? whats the architecture like ?

I'm REALLY liking this, way more than I thought I would. Great job! What's your stack if you don't mind my asking?

I'm not sure, something about the "Recent Stories Summary" section (first view) is hard to read. The spacing is wrong. And the blue font. Someone mentioned Garamond too.

It's creating a "wall of text" effect to me and I'm not able to quickly skim and allow my eye to catch the bits that are interesting to me.

As a comparison, the HN homepage is very accessible to me for skimming and finding things to click into (like this entry).

UI is often quite subjective, understood. But I can't really "scan" the first view fast enough. It's all blending together and causes extra processing on my mind.

I just configured my own rss website to only find this awesome solution. I’m crying right now if only it found you earlier I would have saved me so much time. Also do you have the code publicly available so that I can customize for my own needs?

This is exactly the stuff that I think LLMs are best at. We have created the world's coolest string manipulator and this is exactly the kind of things I think LLMs are best suited for. Awesome job!

Very cool. Having an immutable record "time machine" you can use to re-find something you remember reading is very humane. I'd love to see this for world news, politics, etc.

Combines the strength of AI at summarizing text and easy access to the actual information sources for verification, well done well done!

looks very similar to https://particle.news how would you distinguish your approach (other than the tech focus)?

Wow. That's amazing! I've bookmarked it because I think it's one of the best news sites I've seen now.
