Do you really need "Beta Signup" at 8 different places on a single webpage? Sounds being a little desperate to me. Not nit picking here, but may put off some of us with mild OCD. :) Otherwise, great concept! When are sign-ups for Mac opening?

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Sign-ups are open for macOS. As soon as you sign up, you'll receive an email with the invitation code and download link.

Yack means throw up in many circles. Just be aware of the name. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=yack

It also means "talk"

I've only ever seen that spelled as "yak", so it took me a while to make that connection.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> You mean like a browser? I can see this being a nice alternative to a few browser options for checking the latest across multiple sites. Pinned tabs, "Open All" bookmark folder, loose tabs, etc. Not ideal, imo, so having them all in one place and unified under a single UI might be kind of nice. Can't really speak to the UI though since this is unfortunately macOS only :(

> I can see this being a nice alternative to a few browser options for checking the latest across multiple site It's just another walled garden approach

Which is good coz most of these communities are time sucks so consciously having to open an app instead of just opening a new tab is great.

Currently i use another browser for this(firefox is for browsing hackernews, chrome is for work since devtools are better)

Actually, I was just thinking of something like this. In particular, I'd like to be able to keep tabs on a group of YouTube creators, without being dependent on the whims and machinations of what the YouTube team wants to promote. There are also certain creators who post to both YouTube and BitChute, but prefer BitChute, and I'd like to have a browser that will show me the BitChute version preferentially, without my…

what's BitChute? Never heard of it.

Basically, a somewhat decentralized YouTube implemented on top of BitTorrent.
