Every system can be gamed, but if it were me and I were looking for a simple filtering solution, I would do something like this .. Set a policy of X comments required per submissio…

Disclaimer: I'm developing a chat app/serivce as well, but it's not a Slack/Teams competitor. I personally would love to see real alternatives to Slack and Teams. Discord has Stoat…

This is actually a smart and common sense move by Apple. The non-hardware AI industry is currently in an R&D race to establish and maintain marketshare, but with Apple's existing i…

Caching is definitely a useful and even a key component to producing efficent and high performance applications and services. I think the mistake is not using caching, but rather u…

I think a fundamental mistake I see many developers make is they use caching trying to solve problems rather than improve efficiency. It's the equivalent of adding more RAM to fix …

I remember playing Ultima Online and really enjoying that game when I heard about a new first-person MMORPG in development called EverQuest. I ran a couple of popular game sites ba…

Developer here .. I wanted to share a free news and content search engine I have been developing called WhatSubject. WhatSubject allows you to search for breaking news and content …

Thank you! It is a simple site that uses an API from another project am developing for the search results.

I will add filters to the search soon, but I prefer to let everyone decide which sources are valid or not valid themselves. In the meantime, you can add "-site:domain.com" in the s…

Given the situation in Ukraine, I created a quick and easy way to keep up with the latest news on Ukraine from a lot of sites. You can also search for news and content on other top…

The index rate for each source automatically adapts based on the frequency of new content while maintaining a reasonable minimum frequency for sporadic sources. The goal is to inde…

The Settings page requires that you login, which only requires an email address. The quick action bar on the search results page also has a smaller cog icon and other icons on it t…

Upgraded accounts gain access to a global filter that can filter unwanted sources from search results. Non-upgraded accounts can include one exclusion source in searches as well by…

Thank you for pointing out the typo. I fixed it in a couple of places. I also added the spam folder check message to the login link emailed page. I agree the search page needs to b…

The problem is not really the methodology or implementation but the perception caused by it. If you can tell a user "we know you read this" then that implies you are tracking what …

I really try to avoid using local storage because it delves into potential user privacy issues. I will look more into it as well as other options as I know having a list of already…

Thank you for the suggestion! I am familiar with the lang attribute but did not think to use it. It should be live now.

I posted it in the beta notes on the site, but forgot to add it to my comments here. The Popular search results are currently supplemented by a variety of hand-picked source feeds …

That is an area that I need to improve. With a high focus on privacy, it makes it hard to track what users read without creating a user tracking system and that is something I real…

Thank you! I will admit that I really wanted to go with a shorter brandable name, and I am still considering it, but for now I think the name fits. I am planning to tweak the mobil…

I really do appreciate the suggestions. I have worked really hard to provide as many options as possible for people, but it is hard to anticipate everything people will want or nee…

No, of course not, but if I only included lesser known content in the reader and search engine then few people would use it since they would have to look elsewhere to find content …

Great to hear! Thank you!
