Hi all,

I tried posting this a while back but my account was too new, so giving it another go.

I’ve been working on a small personal project during my free time — it’s basically a very simple way to read the news without the usual clutter.

Instead of a busy feed, it shows one headline at a time, and you can adjust what you see (topics, sources, etc.). The idea was just to make following news feel a bit calmer and less overwhelming.

It’s still very early and I’m just experimenting, but I’d appreciate any honest feedback if anyone feels like taking a look: Storylinn.com

Thanks

Very impressed. Signed up to HN just to say that after lurking for many years. Somehow, storylinn makes reading more challenging longer form content on a small device restful and pleasant. I’m thinking about abandoning the BBC site. Is there anything I can read about why and how? Is it the colour scheme or the font or lack of branding and cookies? How are the stories selected? How are they paid for? What is the funding model?
