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!

Love it, but the body font (garamond) is not easy on the eyes. Garamond is one of my favorite fonts in print and at not-too-small sizes. On the screen it doesn't look good because where the characters get thin it gets too thin (or as font experts call it, too much contrast).

Noted, thank you! I haven't put a tonne into readability, other than some basics - I prefer a serif'd font, and I made sure the background was easier on the eyes than #FFFFFF haha
