Hacker News Reader

I'm shocked hearing there are people who try to read everything in their RSS queue. That's madness. I get 300-600 in any given day.

What it does though is give me a range of headlines from news sources I've chosen to follow, that I can skim through, and read maybe 10-30 of on a given day (for some definition of "read" anyway...engage with would be more accurate). Heck, it's how I got here in the first place.

Yeah, that’s what I find. In fact I’m only on this article catching up with my RSS.

I skim through, I arrange feeds in folders alphabetically sorted by both priority and subject. I constantly remove feeds I find too noisy, and I sort chronologically (ascending). I update read status in bulk based on my scroll position (mark above as read). It works really well, though took about a year to figure out what works best for me.
