jamyoton Show HN: I made an alternative to Google Alerts that listens to social media

Hey Mick, really great tool and super useful, here are my bits of feedback: 1: When you customize what websites you want to listen to, you should also be able to customize what language you want to include/exclude (where I work, there is a univeristy in Italy with the same name, so google alerts floods my email with Italian website mentions, but they aren't actually relevant to us) 2: When I signed up, I got a message that said "something bad happened", the wording is a little alarming right after giving information, and it doesnt give any more info on what I can do/ where to go to fix things. It stopped giving that alert once I unchecked "custom". Like I said, awesome tool, keep it up!

jamyoton McDonald's is adding plant-based burgers to the menu

I agree McPlant is quite boring, and honestly, a little unappetizing. Although I'm happy they are (finally) offering a vegetarian burger, with all the time they waited to release one, they could have put more thought into the name.
