Maximize Signal-to-Noise ratio with controllable newfeeds

The goal of Personamo is to give you a single interface to choose the sources you want to read from, and then easily customize the feed algorithm underneath. Right now, as platforms do not provide us with a flexible set of filters, it’s tough to control the amount of noise in your feed manually. The bulk of news and content we consume every day is overwhelming and make it hard to focus on what really matters. Ideally, any newsfeed should reflect your interests and priorities. In reality, TikTok's newsfeeds constantly suggest dancing girls and Twitter's are filled with AI-generated shit…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

The goal of Personamo is to give you a single interface to choose the sources you want to read from, and then easily customize the feed algorithm underneath. Right now, as platforms do not provide us with a flexible set of filters, it’s tough to control the amount of noise in your feed manually. The bulk of news and content we consume every day is overwhelming and make it hard to focus on what really matters. Ideally, any newsfeed should reflect your interests and priorities. In reality, TikTok's newsfeeds constantly suggest dancing girls and Twitter's are filled with AI-generated shit posts. At a high level, here's how it should work: you pick your sources, customize your feed algorithm using LEGO-like blocks, and voila - you have a feed that's tailored just for you. To bring this idea to life, we created Personamo, a platform that gathers content from various news sites, blogs, and subreddits, so you can consume and organize your information all in one place. What's great is that Personamo lets you create different feeds for your different personas. You can have separate feeds for your professional self, your hobbyist self, your learner self, and more. No more scrolling through cat videos when you're actually looking to learn about quantum physics. My friend and I have been working on this product for a while now, and I'm stoked to share it with the HackerNews community. We truly believe it can profoundly impact the way you consume information and eager to hear your feedback/suggestions. Contact us: https://www.personamo.com/ or [email protected]

    News Pulse – Real-time global news feed, 475 sources, no algorithmFeb 2026 · news-alert-eta.vercel.app · ▲9

    Former investigative reporter turned developer. I built a simple breaking-news monitor because tracking events across platforms is a mess now that Twitter’s unreliable. Bluesky is the backbone (a fraction of twitter, but still lots of journalists and OSINT folks), plus RSS, Telegram, Reddit, YouTube and Mastodon. Everything is one chronological feed with no algorithm, clear source labels, and lightweight activity detection when a region spikes above baseline (frequency math, not LLMs). But we do have a (hopefully non-obtrusive) AI-generated recent/post summary. Been building for a…

    Replace Twitter with AI that reads 10k+ daily sources for you2025 · goldenscoop.live · ▲5

    Hey HN! Why I built this: Over the last 10 years I relied heavily on Twitter as my primary source of information. I could get a wide range of information in one place, and each information nugget came in a small format of about 280 characters which was good for summarizing. But recently due to algorithmic changes and the AI frenzy, Twitter has become very noisy and hard to keep up with. So I built GoldenScoop. It takes personalized information requests and runs a swarm of agents in the background. Our swarm reads multiple news sources every day and provides customized information based on…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
