#122Like always centralization seems nice at first except that it is just not possible to have an app that speaks every API fragmenting the user experience even more.

#124I'd love a way to interact with each site using many users. E.g. "Comment" button has a dropdown for all the registered users for that site.
I've found having more purpose-driven usernames for some sites to be helpful, but the burden of switching between those users is immense and doesn't feel great.

#126This looks nice but "Many Communities, one UI" just doesn't work for me. The way I use hacker news is different than the way I use youtube. And it is different than how I use reddit.
How do you use HN and Reddit that makes them so dissimilar? From a UI standpoint, not a 'quality of the discussions' standpoint.
Like the_watcher said, a lot of times in reddit I will just look at a pic of a meme or something that isn't pure text. Sometimes it is a discussion post or something where I do read comments but it isn't a discussion of something on another site. On HN, I almost always click to read the article and if it is interesting I will read the discussion on HN. I rarely look at something that isn't primarily text on HN.

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)
Besides when working with web workers I've actually had an overall better experience with FF dev tools in the recent couple of years. I recommend trying them out again if you haven't already.

what's BitChute? Never heard of it.
Basically, a somewhat decentralized YouTube implemented on top of BitTorrent.
In a similar fashion, there is also PeerTube. A decentralized video hosting network, based on free/libre software.
I have no involvement with them, but I like the PeerTube project. Might contribute to it in the future.

> 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 :(
Sounds like RSS.
I have to agree.
Nice work, and looks pretty, but Feedly scratches this itch for me almost perfectly. And it expands well beyond Reddit and HN.
The only better solution would be if I hosted my own and used an open source app. I'll get around to it.

#130Feels like multiple tabs in a browser window already solve this - at the UI part... Maybe there is a part of this that allows for easier cross referencing between sites?
