An honest to god, non-algorithmic reverse chrono list of tech news that passes my signal-to-noise tests, updated hourly.

A lightweight a page design as I've been able to keep; simple, clean, fast. No commercial features or aspirations - this is a passion project, something I've been fooling around with on and off for decades.

There's a "Top" view too with an LLM edited front page & summary, and categorized views for a large number of topics - see the Directory. A few more buried features to explore, but the fundamental use case is pop in, scan, exit - fast and concise.

Your feedback would be appreciated!

This is probably a dumb question, but.. what does "incoming" and "outgoing" mean?

Oh man, don't ask - not a dumb question at all. I'll reshare what I put in another comment that answers it, but bottom line is they're a design gap in the context of /recent.

You're right --- incoming & outgoing end up being redundant on the "Recent" view. Where they're (more) relevant is in the "Top" view where the LLM editor has picked a subset of stories to be categorized as top and incoming/outgoing are the ones that didn't make the cut, organized by timeliness.

Definitely a gap in design!

I assumed it meant stories that trended highly and were now fading in popularity (outgoing) and stories that are trending but trending quickly and may be on a fast ascent.

Sort of a combo of "in case you missed it" and "the next new big stories".

Oh, sure, but I literally just don't understand what their meaning is >_>
