hiya – i'm nate, and i made this app for myself. day after day, i found myself scrolling mindlessly through instagram, gaining nothing. i realized i was hopelessly addicted to feeds that were feeding me things i didn't need to see!
at the same time, I was reading a book on the history of Sesame Street [1]. in the 60's, educators looked at television with fear — it was too addicting. Sesame Street's breakthrough was realizing that such an engaging medium could be used to teach and inspire, not just make money. in 2022, that's where we are with news feeds: we've seen how engaging they are, but we haven't figured out how to harness them for good.
Since building feed, i've been able to curate exactly what I see when I open my phone in the morning, at night and on the subway. In this early version of the app, i've built the integrations and cards that i've wanted. but i'd love to hear what tools y'all would want to the perfect feeds for yourselves :)

@nateparrott I’ve been a tester for a while. The thinking about bringing in accounts and feeds to make a personal timeline, that isn’t a serving as a proxy for my interests / being leveraged for marketing purposes, is a real delight. You’ve thought through the experience really well and the app is terrific. Looking forward to see where you take it!
This is awesome @nateparrott, been using it for a little while now and it is seriously impressive. What I like the most is just how well made it is! The user experience is phenomenal, and every part of the app is well crafted.

Using this for a while now and It’s my daily driver for going through multiple source at a single place. it’s very unique idea considering a ample amount of sources you can merge in to single feed. Live snapshot of web page is my favourite.
Excited about getting back into RSS feeds and can't believe this app is free. It's refreshing to get news and updates without being bombarded by extra ads and irrelevant content.
