   A better way to read blogs▲103

   Hey HN, maker here. It was a serious 4-6 months of effort to build this. I have never poured as much love, attention and detail into a project before. So I really appreciate you having a looksie! The homepage has a fresh list of articles every hour and is open to all. Still, I recommend signing up so you can add stuff to your reading list and follow blogs. My initial plan was to monetize this with subtle ads, but that didn't work out as the traffic to the site isn't nearly enough for that. That said, I have a fair bit invested in this and I need your help figuring out a way to make this…

    Replace FB trends with Reddit stories▲12

    I'm not a fan of the Facebook trends panel, it seems like is PR and advertising disguised as social media trends. So I made a Chrome extension that replaces it with stories from Reddit. You can install the extension from here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/reddit-facebook-trends/gbjbbjnmjelanjckpnebpbbgkilpgilp It's open source (Contributors welcome): https://github.com/dslounge/fbRedditTrends I would appreciate any feedback / bug reports / suggestions to make this better.
