Hey Chris — you posted about wanting a social RSS reader. A couple days later, here's what exists:

What's Working

  • RSS subscriptions — any feed, auto-discovery, full-text extraction
  • Highlights + comments — select text, add a note (280 chars)
  • Follow friends — see their highlights in your feed
  • Reactions — emoji responses to highlights
  • Saved articles — star to keep
  • Trending — what's being highlighted across the community
  • Search — full-text across feeds and highlights
  • Keyboard nav — j/k/o/s, vim-style

If You Like It

  • Permanent archive — articles you interact with get preserved forever
  • Notifications — when friends highlight, when someone reacts
  • Reading groups — private circles for sharing
  • OPML import/export — bring your feeds, take them with you
  • Weekly digest — email summary of friend activity
  • Public API — pipe highlights to Notion, Obsidian, wherever

Next.js 15, React 19, Neon Postgres, Clerk, Vercel. Built fast, works now.

Chris Coyier's Bluesky post: I'd like to see an explicitly social-forward RSS reader. Like it's encouraged to highlight passages and leave short comments. Your buds see yours, you see your buds.

Between CSS Tricks and ShopTalk Show I owe you a lot. I hope you like this!
