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!

looks very similar to https://particle.news how would you distinguish your approach (other than the tech focus)?

Cool - particle looks great - I really like how visual it is.

Distinguishing characteristics - personally I get value from the unambiguous timeline (no editorializing in /recent), and (as nice as the visual is) the non-visual, super simplistic presentation & the curated sources (...which I value b/c I curated them myself haha).

So bottom line is that DS will appeal to a certain kind of obsessive compulsive news consumer and synthesizer that wants the right balance of signal to noise ands a streamlined presentation that doesn't slow them down. I count myself among that group!
