What HN said
What people liked
Minimalist, calm design
From 3 comments
I like the minimalist design. I built a similar daily feed for myself, using GitHub Actions to trigger a daily sync, FeedLand.com for managing subscriptions, and GitHub Pages for…
8organicbits on HNI think this is a really interesting area. I wrote a command line took for web reading with some similar motivations. In my case, you queue up the articles to read the next day.…

Useful daily digest approach that avoids constant checking
From 2 comments
I love the idea of a simple, digest-style, mode. Might make some version of this for Instagram. There's nothing so important on Instagram that it can't wait for the next day.
xnx on HNI believe the idea is to have a source that updates infrequently, so that one isn't compelled to refresh it all the time. It's not unlike one service that I saw where you'd get…

Open source and self-hostable
From 2 comments
The tool actually is open source, so you could self-host it if you wish. MIT license, in Python. The repository [1] is linked in the blog post the author wrote about the project…

Objections
Updating once a day is too infrequent for fast-moving content
From 2 comments
Isn't updating once a day a bit too rare for content heavy websites, like HN? I use online RSS reader just to keep up with all updates when I am not online. With updates once a…
butz on HNUnfortunately a one day delay is too late to participate in a HN discussion.

I tried to import the OPML file exported by https://wordpress.com/read/subscriptions but it says "Failed to parse OPML." Edit: just managed to find the support email. I'll send…

Some blogs behind Cloudflare or bot protection fail to load
From 2 comments
Unable to add my blog[1] hosted on Cloudflare. Is it an issue with CF? [1]https://rishikeshs.com

Requests
Provide a screenshot or demo of the interface
From 1 comment
It would benefit from a screenshot of the actual UI. On mobile there is little that would make me want to register. You know how we are with creating accounts just to have a…

Support import of OPML and integration with existing readers like Miniflux
From 2 comments
This would be interesting as a project using the Miniflux API (https://github.com/miniflux/v2). That way it would already use my existing feeds and I don't have a separate…

Support for Instagram or other non-RSS sources
From 1 comment
I love the idea of a simple, digest-style, mode. Might make some version of this for Instagram. There's nothing so important on Instagram that it can't wait for the next day.

Questions
Is it an RSS reader rather than a web reader?
From 1 comment
I initially thought this would be an Instapaper alternative, or maybe a "Reader mode" similar to the one in Safari, but turns out it's a RSS reader? If so, I wouldn't necessarily…

For reference, and not implying it's better or worse than your work OP, I've pleasantly used Fraidycat (https://fraidyc.at/) in the past. It's a webextension, so completely…

For those looking for something like this but that updates on your own schedule and handles more than just RSS, I built Digest - https://usedigest.com
