I got the ick from Google News and couldn’t find a news app that just showed my sources, algorithm-free.
So I shipped a human-first iOS app without mentioning RSS anywhere. Just “follow the sites you want to read.”
2 weeks in: Thousands of downloads, zero ads.
Long live the Really Simple Syndication.
Thank you. For a post that didn't mention AI and for a refresher on consumer psychology, I do thank you.
Well, you know, someone has to produce original content so the machines have something to steal. (I feel you)
