I hear your concern, and we had a similar thought when preparing to post on HN. We made sure to display women and poc on the front page, but I admit, we can and will do a better jo…

It’s completely custom and in-house. u/iMuzz is just a unicorn designer/engineer. Not sure how else to put it.

We use daily cron jobs that fetch from various RSS urls for blogs, and use the Twitter API. We also have data contractors that do some manual work to aggregate the content.

Our service is not entirely scalable yet, as there is still quite a bit of manual work being done behind the curtain. But the other larger concern is that many large accounts don’t…

Oh this is interesting, although I’m not sure how much our current audience would rather see push notifs or texts for the more long form content alerts we mainly have right now
