Hacker News Reader

Hey, looks like you had a very similar idea to me! https://www.youneedfeeds.com/ Though you've gone for the 'simple one-pager' approach where I tried to sell people on it via a full site. I was going to do a visual revamp sometime soon, hopefully include more readers etc but time has been an issue.

This is great! I especially love the starter packs.

We both opted for "web feeds" over "RSS", which makes me feel better about that choice.

Do you have any sense of whether you've been able to reach new users? It's going to take a lot of effort from us and people like us, I think.

I chose 'web feeds' since it covered both RSS/ATOM and avoided the need to define their acronym meaning. My view stats were very low last time I checked, but I haven't done much in the way of promotion either. (I did look into keyword advertising but that was prohibitively expensive.) I'll probably try for another round of organic promotion once I do the site overhaul.

But neither of your websites have a section for website authors!
