For me it’s: -HN many times a day (probably too much to be healthy as it’s my default “I’ve got 60 seconds to spare”) -Reddit used to be many times a day but since they turned off compact mode on mobile it’s maybe once a day using old.Reddit.com on my phone and really not like how I have to zoom to read stuff -gmail as workflow for personal chores and work GitHub/GitLab, maybe 5 times a day -discord once or twice a d…

Definitely recommend using Apollo with a little tuning for Reddit on mobile. Clean and clear of all their growth experiments

Reddit is cracking down on 3rd party clients. The experience will be degraded later this year.

No notifications aside from Signal, some Matrix channels of my OSS project and my work Teams. All the rest including WhatsApp has notifications disabled. Phone is on DnD most of the time. I occasionally check HN Frontpage,a local news website and a few selected subreddits and that's about it.

You will like this. ;-)

I made it to re-direct to people, some of whom, gets angry that I don't do unscheduled Voice calls.

I appreciate that HN has extremely high quality moderation. There is virtually no garbage content. I don’t know how this magic is achieved, but I am grateful.

there is, if you're in the new section like some of us

Well, there will always be garbage on any site, the most important thing is not to let nonsense be the main focus of the site. If good threads top the front page most of the time I consider it a win.

Feeder is an okay replacement for Feedly on Android, and it's opensource.

You are a productivity god.

Yup, whats I'm saying is that's because there's a small community that does through new and upvotes good content

I run GPT on a cronjob to summarize my twitter timeline for me. I'm sure it's not perfect, but it catches a lot

Care to share the script code?

Sure thing - but just FYI I really only care about AI tweets in my timeline, so YMMV if you want it to summarize your timeline in general. I tried a generic "summarize my timeline" approach before and it didn't work well. Filtering to within a certain topic seems to really help

What are the mechanics of doing that? How do you tell it what page to open, how far to scroll, what exactly you want to hear about, and how do you plug that into the model and get a result?

I shared the code in a comment below (https://github.com/purpleladydragons/ai-sanity) but

- scraping is relatively dumb and straightforward. I use playwright to login and just scroll my timeline for the first 100 tweets. I run the thing every 3 hours right now, but definitely could tweak the number of tweets vs frequency

- I only care about AI tweets really on my timeline, so filtering to that is pretty straightforward just passing it to GPT

- I included the prompts in the link. Definitely far from perfect, but it works well enough. It does surprisingly suck sometimes, like I've noticed that it doesn't always pick up on tweets about LangchainAI despite AI being in the name etc
