Show HN: Lesen.io a multi source tech reader for Hacker News, Reddit and Slashdot
lesen.io
lesen.io
Lesen is the German verb meaning "to read". There was another submission recently about an immutable/persistent data structure library named Immer which means, roughly, "always".
I'd like to 'favorite' this comment, but don't see a link with which to do so. :-(
Could anyone advise on how?
I’d like to get some feedback before going much further on development, this is the very minimal version of what I want it to be.
Stuff that I plan to add:
- More sources (what other sources you know that would make sense to include?) - Save for later (even though I can already save to pocket from the app, this would be nice to have) - Configurable sources - Allow hiding stories - Detection and hiding of duplicates - User accounts: allow to sync read, hidden and saved articles across platforms
What else would you like seeing in this app? :)
1) https://longform.org/ http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/longform/id490437064?mt=8
2) https://usepanda.com/ https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/panda-lite/id934805959?mt=8
3) https://redef.com/ app not in appstore
4) medium
5) feedly
Longform has a particularly attractive feature that restores your spot in a page when iOS terminates the app. Longform and Panda and Redef are all incredibly useful without customizing them.
If you are looking for sources check out Panda AND these lists https://redef.com/charts/sources/total http://www.aldaily.com/media http://scitechdaily.com/resources/ http://www.techmeme.com/lb http://www.mediagazer.com/lb http://www.memeorandum.com/lb https://longform.org/archive/publications https://longform.org/archive/writers
I prefer when "save for later" buttons are customizable, so you can set it to save to pocket, pinboard, feedly etc.
I also like the idea of pulling the stories from aggregators as its stuff that people is explicitly expressing interest for.
you could tell panda you just want hackernews and lobster and dribble.
if youre going to enter this space, these are the competitors you should try out.
it does sound a little bit like reinventing http://www.techmeme.com/river
I'd like to be able to select & apply different comment sort methods globally. Maybe a drop-down that applies the user-rating at top like HN does, but for the other sites' comments, too, who don't do it that way themselves. Come to think of it, it might be fun to sort the main list based on the rating of the articles' submitters, as opposed to their being based on the individual articles' score on their origin site. Like ordering the main page like HN orders comments. ...Just an idea-
(Quick preview of site, just like on safari)
I would add a "tweet" link, and a link to instapaper myself.
does your site have any sort of leaderboard http://www.memeorandum.com/lb
When I made http://serializer.io I opted to list items that reached a certain threshold sequentially but I've wondered about how I might better present the vote information.
I'm still thinking on what would be the optimal way to display them, but didn't heard of http://serializer.io is it basically the same concept? the only site I found doing a similar thing was http://reader.one/ but its IOS app is not so nice.
serializer is just a web app and lists stories in a sequential feed - while it has HN, reddit & slashdot on there it's kind of a different concept. It's more of a 'reader'/feed that happens to combine various sources.
What about an Android version (many of us don't have iOS, especially techies in South Korea)?
I guess the RSS feed will do.
Noticed that the analytics related js file alone, took over 11kb. We can do a better job at this.
The browser app and chrome extension let you click to go either to the comments or directly to the post. works for tons of sites like hacker news, lobsters etc.
Good luck!
