Hey everyone, For a while now I've been frustrated with how I was 'experiencing' the internet. From opening articles and getting bombarded with popups, banners and ads to opening feeds and seeing so much AI spam and algorithm-based content I was not interested in. If you add tab hopping to that, you get how it all becomes a confusing and not-so productive experience. Oku.io is my solution to this problem. It's a tool that allows you to create organized, clean boards with the feeds and content you're interested in (HN Show/Front/Ask, ProductHunt, Reddit, RSS, and a lot more), and see them either in a grid to monitor all at once, in a focus view where you visualize one panel at a time, or in a daily/weekly email digest that extracts the top content from each panel. I've been actively using it and I'm happy with how it turned out. I find myself scrolling and switching tabs way less, and I feel like I'm not missing anything important anymore. Both for my work-related stuff and for my personal interests. If you check it out, I'd love to hear your feedback. I'm very keen on continuing to improve it. | ||||||||

If you allowed me to import an OPML file to get a sense for how this would work for my feed I'd check it out, but requiring a login before I can do anything real is kind of a non-starter. | ||||||||

Feed overload is real but curious how you handle the cold start. The tool is only as good as the sources you bring in day one. | ||||||||

Yep and Firefox's inbuilt Reader View button also helps. But, "Lite web" is the next big thing. | ||||||||

The year is 2006 and Netvibes is hosting a huge party in San Francisco after raising in the Web 2.0 craze. They are yet to find out they will become a footnote in history to be rediscovered in 20 years’ time. | ||||||||
