Not terribly surprised. When I tried the app out I didn’t really get the appeal. It was like adding a comments section to existing news feeds and didn’t provide enough tailoring or algorithmic understanding of reading habits to be a compelling offering.
Besides the fact that they were using a chrome embedded browser, meaning I couldn’t even ad block on the sites I visited: which made the reading experience nearly impossible.
I found it worked pretty well, seemed to understand my interests pretty well after a couple days, when I usually don’t feel that way, having tried many many similar apps. The chrome web view wasn’t ideal, but I use pihole which helped :)
What are the best news aggregators that people use these days? I have fallen back to using news.google.com, which Im not that too happy about, but it does seem to work ok for me.
I’ve been using Ground News. It’s interesting to get breakdowns on which way stories are being spun by each side.
But mostly I’ve started just monitoring dozens of RSS feeds with the Feeder RSS app (android)
I rather enjoyed it while it lasted but I was rather just posting interesting bits I was posting here, so perhaps here is the best alternative. 🤷
I may have also been using it as a kind of replacement for del.icio.us, which is much missed. I gave Postmarked a go but it isn’t doing it for me.
