What's wrong with self-promotion in comments? Is it against the rules or some code-of-conduct?

This is pretty much the only way to get a reply into the visible top part of a comment thread...

If you find yourself saying “Pretty much the only way to …”, it might be time to start questioning the morality of the continuation.

(Unless, perhaps, we want to discuss systemic behavior, incentives, and adjustments — ie Hacker News as a system and how to improve it and so on — , but to do that without casting doubt on one’s intentions, it has to be done in a way that does not appear to justify questionable actions.)

P.S. All of this coming from someone who you should not put on a pedestal, BTW. Do what I aspire to, not what I do.

Do you just spend all your time reading stuff?

Aggregating these frees me to forget about them in the rest of my life. When I scroll to the end of the timeline it actually stops, with no distractions; I reach “the end of the internet” every day.

I just remembered that my phone tracks app usage. It says I’m spending an average of 27 minutes per day.

I actually found Hacker News through https://brutalist.report/ . Nice conglomeration of headlines/links from lots of different sources. Lots of tech and science, but also a good mix of global news.

Thanks for sharing this. I've got their point about keeping the website as simple as possible using HTML, CSS and no JS, but hey, why not make an exception around UI theming? I'd love to see it in a sepia background color and serif types. That black BG with a blue sans type is doing evil to my retina.

It's a self-endorsement without any contribution towards the discuss topic. I didn't want to flag the poster as they seem new, but this was explicitly against the community guidelines.

Imagine if everyone that had a blog, newsletter, rss reader, news aggregator site, or AI tool did this. What would that do for community and conversation? It would be miserable, we'd call it all spam.

Instead, I'd suggest making a root-level comment talking about the OP discussion and including their tool as part of their answer, as others have done. If they don't get visibility, so be it - that's how voting works.

Three sides curated from one source is not “all sides”.

they aren't curated from one source, they are curated by one source. This site curates from various left, right, and center leaning news sources so you can get a fuller picture.

Thanks for correcting “from” to “by”. Agreed that it is better than just one.

Any feed aggregator will do. This is like choosing a web browser and largely comes down to personal preference.

Personally I use Feedbin with Unread.
