slightly related, what are the best open source RSS readers for iOS? as far as I know, HN has an RSS Feed available.

I don't know about "best", but I've tried many, Reeder, Feedly etc, for many years. These are not OSS though, but Reeder was my favorite of the bunch.

I settled on running NewsBlur on an OVH instance, it's open source and so are the apps. https://github.com/samuelclay/newsblur

On the desktop I use the default web interface, it runs and looks nice. A bit too many batteries included, but you can turn things off.

It's Django, so you can vibe code to your heart's delight. I did.

Highly recommend NetNewsWire, especially if one is already using it on any other Apple device. Recent updates have substantially improved its performance (on both iOS and macOS), so it's worth a second look if you haven't tried it recently.

HN clients are one of the most popular projects. I’m gonna agree with some of the other comment: this is nothing new. https://hnpwa.com/

Why does it have to be “something new”?

Unless you’re making the same type of comment on every post about yet another nonsensical and useless AI post around here, I don’t think you have much right to complain.

It’s a cool thing someone built. Let it be what it is.
