Anyone wants to start a news feed with me?
Difference from lwn: the news is very minimal; essentially giving you the full link to read and the smallest useful summary (e.g. on software release, the headline features; on mailing list drama, the subject of discussion / potential consequences).
Difference from phoronix: applicability is both wider and narrower. No attempt to make money off of it, so news is restricted to news we find interesting ONLY. However it also means it need not be restricted to tech only, multiple feeds per category possible.
Difference from slashdot: the feed is all there is. There’s no website, there’s no comments. There’s an anonymous feed viewer in lieu of a “website” but no long-lasting stuff. Ring buffer of the last 100 posts per feed or whatever keeps a hard cap on costs; the client side can handle persistency of things you want to keep around.
Difference from magasines: no release schedule, you just post when you hear something interesting. Format is closer to lobsters/lemmy anyway.
The idea would be that I build the thing and have a very simple API so I can give people tokens (that have a list of feeds you can post to) and you use a bookmarklet or whatever to make the post. The author is marked in RSS metadata so if someone is seen repeatedly making posts that suck / aren’t interesting / spam (but I don’t believe that one) it can be discussed.
