We used to read personal blogs every day, little corners of the internet to discover and enjoy authentic voices. Feeds Mage brings back that magic by finding great blogs from your Twitter follows.
Hey everyone, who misses personal blogs?
Well, we do. A lot. They're little corners of the internet where you can discover and enjoy authentic voices — but they're so hard to find and follow these days, lost in feeds.
We're excited to release 🧙 Feeds Mage, a little free tool that scans your Twitter follows and finds their blogs and newsletters.
It already helped me find more than 100 blogs to add to my Mailbrew digests ✨ I honestly didn't even know some of my favorite people on Twitter had blogs!
Give it a try, and let us know if you have feedback or ideas.
And as always, thanks so much for hunting us @chrismessina! 🙌
?makers this is superb! You folks are doing something that should have been done by Twitter itself.
It amazes me how many wonderful products can be developed just by working on the inefficiencies of the existing platforms 🤩
Also, can the number of newsletter be a filter? For eg: '36' and only newsletter related results show up?
@chrismessina IMHO it's probably because goes against their business model of keep us in the app scrolling as many hours as possible due to FOMO. This product is so great!
@chrismessina@almavi True story. Recall the recent Nuzzel shutdown. While it has been said a few times that a new version is underway, I am really skeptical that it will resemble anything like the original Nuzzel. The reason? Putting the focus on the content will take attention away from the timeline.
In general, though, I am hopeful in the healing nature of the Web. Where there's void, it will be filled by new players. The Mailbrew team found a super nice niche here and they deserve my admiration. The lack of a good social news aggregation solution has opened another interesting spot, and I am sure that Mailbrew, our service Murmel (https://murmel.social/) and the other folks working in the same domain will eventually offer a sufficient alternative.

Love it! I made a video showing how to take the OPML and import it into Reeder.app:

Brilliant concept. I just gave it a try.
Referring to the screenshot, if I had to read the 26 newsletters shown on the spot (without e-mail digest). How do I do it?
When I tried I instinctly clicked on "3 newsletters" it showed on screen! But there wasn't a link.

Oh that is a super cool idea. But, here is a suggestion: what if someone like me doesn't follow a lot of people and prefer to use Twitter's lists to build their Twitter experience? Could you update your product to select a Twitter list instead and then go do the search?

Nice👍. Save the effort of me copy and paste blog links I came upon in my Twitter feeds or when searching for a few inspiration
