Show HN: You Need Feeds – Introduce friends/family/workmates to RSS and webfeeds
I've made a single-focus site to introduce your friends/colleagues/neighbours/family to RSS and web feeds.
The site is meant to give the elevator pitch for feeds, show a newbie what feeds are and how to use them, set them up with a reader, and give them some nice starter content if they want it.
So much tastemaking and newsmaking power is concentrated in the hands of Facebook/Reddit/Twitter, but I'm convinced it's because much of the general populace doesn't know about feeds. Many people just don't know of any other option than the core three social sites for keeping up with what they like! They're forced to endure all the anger and fighting of social media, just to keep up to date.
The more people know about feeds, the more they use feeds, the more sites support feeds, and then more people learn about feeds in a virtuous cycle.
I hope to create more uptake of feeds amongst the general population, a more decentralised internet, and maybe just make the average user's day a bit nicer.
Let me know what you think. Questions, comments, all appreciated. Spreading the word is very appreciated. :)
