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!

Maybe I'm the only one but I would love a feed that never showed me items again that I've already scrolled past without engaging in the first time.

Me too. That's the number one thing I always wish for with every feed. And if I reach the end of the feed, that's fine.

Right, I'm so tired of "infinite scroll". There's a mental/emotional reward for actually reaching The End of something.

Yes - I was actually deliberate about leaving infinite scroll out; I started w/ scrolling on tag pages, for example, but switched them to paginated - largely for the feeling you described.
