Show HN: Get the top news about upcoming (mostly tech) products all in one place
waitfeed.com
waitfeed.com
So, if shortly:
1. Many upcoming and releasing products
2. Even more online sources (some are trustworthy and some not very) who are constantly publishing news articles about these products
3. Each of us is interested (waiting) in some of the upcoming products but not ALL
We thought it would make sense to build Waitfeed – a website (apps in progress) that combines and covers each of the above-mentioned points in its own way.
1. News on Waitfeed is categorized for each specific upcoming product (eg. http://waitfeed.com/trending/news/iphone-8)
2. We’re fetching the latest news from various online sources, but not from every. Online sources for crawling are handpicked to avoid any “fake news.” For this point, we’ll rely on our community to help us by reporting any spam/fake news. Also, we expect to get suggestions about which publishers are trustworthy and will add them to our crawling.
3. You can choose which products you are interested in and subscribe only to those you care about. Then you’ll be informed about trending (or recent) news as soon as the news appears online (yes, our crawlers are working hard 24/7 :)).
This is it. Our idea is to keep it simple and make it work, so now is the time to get some early feedback from you folks. We’re open to any suggestions, critiques, questions, and of course upvotes :)
We want people to vote for or comment on a story because they personally find it intellectually interesting, not because they or a friend have something to promote.
