This looks fantastic! Also having read Cal's excellent book on Digital Minimalism I was actually thinking about this idea recently. The nice thing about a newspaper is you're not constantly checking it. It comes once a day, you read it, and you're done. Where as opposed to the digital age of social media and even RSS feeds I find myself constancy refreshing them throughout the day. Excited to give Subworthy a shot!

@donni The newspaper analogy is exactly what I was thinking about. I've got loads of ideas for making Subworthy more focussed and useful - can't wait to implement some of them. Thanks for giving Subworthy a try!

This is my first foray into launching on Product Hunt - would love to hear what you think of my little side-project! In 2021 I made an effort to embrace the ideas laid out in Cal Newport's book Digital Minimalism to reduce the amount of time I waste getting distracted online. In the first instance I cut down on my social media use, completely removing Facebook and Twitter from my life (unfortunately I'm still a bit of a sucker for Instagram). However, I soon found myself replacing one form of doom-scrolling with another, by regularly visiting a range of websites I check for news and inadvertently disappearing down rabbit holes of featured links and related articles. I wanted to create a habit of only checking these sites once or twice a day - and for that I would need a way to collate the various websites I visit into some sort of unified timeline to try and cut out the distractions and the link bait that so easily pulls me off course. RSS does just this, allowing you to subscribe to any website with a public feed by using an RSS reader to regularly poll for updates. There are tonnes of brilliant RSS readers available, but my main issue is that the temptation is still there to constantly check for new updates. Subworthy is an online RSS reader that 'hides' all the stories from that day until a predetermined time, then it collates those new articles into a daily 'issue' and emails me an overview. I can click through directly to each article from the email, or visit a page online to view all full stories in one place. At the time of writing I have been using Subworthy myself for 257 days and it has truly become a habit. During the day I am no longer distracted by idly checking sites like TechCrunch and The Verge, but every evening I set aside 5-10 minutes to scroll through my latest 'issue' of Subworthy, catching up on the latest industry news (as well as the writings of various authors I am interested in) in one place. I've written more about Subworthy's current and upcoming features over on my blog: https://philstephens.com/blog/20...
