1Feed is fully goated (greatest of all time). It rolls up all my news sources into one convenient feed and allows me to avoid scrolling through twitter commentary. Truly timesaving.

@tomlister3 Hahahaha, thank you Tom!! πŸ˜πŸπŸπŸ™Œ

Congrats on the launch. Looks very useful! The one thing that concerns me as a user is the ability to discover new content and people to follow. Twitter and other platforms out there make an excellet job recommending new content while presenting the feed. While using 1Feed I caught myself thinking that I might miss something because I restricted myself to limited content sources. Hope this feedback helps. Good luck.

@boris_chumichev Hey! That's actually really interesting, often I dislike Twitter because it's always recommending me random content, and I'd prefer to only see content I asked to see. I feel like often hearing about things from people online or in real life is enough for me to discover new stuff. One discovery algorithm I've really been enjoying though is Pocket's related article recommendations, those are always very relevant. Still though, I have been considering this, and I may add a more mindful (and optional) way of letting users discover content compared to Twitter etc. If I were to do this, what sort of thing would you like? Something social where users can recommend things to each other? Some kind of recommendation algorithm? A hand-curated list of interesting feeds to add? A crowdsourced list of interesting feeds to add? Just throwing some ideas out there.

Hey @booligoosh congrats on the launch! Are there any plans to make a mobile app?
Ethan
@aaronoleary Thanks Aaron! Honestly I would, and I've been really tempted to, but the main thing keeping me away is the fact that the app stores take such a large cut of revenue, and the fact that my income is entirely dependent on the mood of some random app store reviewer deciding to block updates (lots of cases of this, but lots of those are with big organizations where they have the influence to actually get something done about it, whereas a small maker might not). So from a purely technical level, I would love to make a mobile app, but from a business/economic/political level, I've decided not to. That said, if you add 1Feed to your home screen, it does function like a native app! On Android, you can even share stuff directly to the 1Feed PWA.

Hi Ethan, great idea! This is a huge problem of mine, every day I get lost to read endless contents on a thousand different apps. The product (and UX) is amazing because it's so simple. It would be amazing if you can add a feature to receive posts from certain LinkedIn profiles (I have a favorites folder of best profiles and look at their activities every day but it takes a lot of time). p.s. I'm loving the fact that you're streaming whole the day about the launch (it was an idea I had while reading the MAKEbook), you are my new idol!
Ethan
@iacopo_livia Thank you!! That's a really good idea, honestly it didn't come to my mind because I don't think I've ever found anything interesting on LinkedIn (πŸ˜‚), but I'm sure there's lots of stuff on there that people would want to follow. And thanks, I always stream every time I do a launch because a) I think it builds a lot of hype, b) it's kinda fun, and c) I think it's probably helpful for others who are considering or preparing to launch on Product Hunt

@booligoosh absolutely yes, I will follow you on twitch, it's useful and funny πŸ‘ŠπŸ€“

I love the idea of taking the dopamine out of a feed. Great mission! How do you envision balancing that "quite place on the internet" vibe, with maintaining the ability to discoverability novel content at scale? Is there space for algorithmic curation in 1Feed's future?
Ethan
@compurbanist Thanks Justin! I'm definitely open to putting more methods of discovery into 1Feed, both algorithmic and non-algorithmic (eg. crowdsourcing and curating), but if I do add any of that stuff, it'll be done very carefully and be strictly optional. I.e. if you've turned discovery features off in Settings, you won't see anything other than what you've explicitly added. And I don't think I'd ever show 'recommended' content on the main screen itself, it'd be via some kind of 'recommended' menu or page that you could go to.
