Yeah it supports Atom as well!

Thanks for the feedback, it's always helpful to hear people's thoughts!

I agree that blog content would be useful. Planning to add it in as well, but haven't decided exactly how it's going to look yet.

I think those types of blogs are cool too, and people still read them, but most of that type of content has probably migrated to social media.

The directory right now is focused on tech but the plan is to eventually cover all categories, including personal stories, and other random things.

> Nice! I hope we can eventually filter by multiple tags.

Definitely coming, along with better search/navigation in general.

Awesome thanks for adding it! The blogs are all reviewed before being added so that should prevent spam from ever being an issue.

Definitely need to add pagination there, thanks for the feedback.

Yeah I think there is a rise in personal blogs/websites and we'll be seeing more of it. It's just hard to discover right now.

Not just you, realized there's some weird bug here, will look into it thanks!

There's an interesting trend of open source clones of popular products. Most recent one that comes to mind is Athens [0] which is an open source clone of Roam Research.

The business model is always that people who really want it for free can self host, and people who don't want to deal with the hassle will pay for hosting. Seems like a reasonable strategy to me.

> With RSS being unfortunately a thing of the past

I'm not sure where you got this impression. Many sites have RSS, including most blogs, youtube, reddit, and HN. And there are countless RSS readers.

Is this problem actually solvable? As in, does YouTube expose an API for doing the things you're talking about? If not, then there's really not much anyone can do about it.

Anyone answering this question for you is probably biased in either direction. You should do your own reading and decide for yourself.

Here's a good article from 2018 that gives an argument on the bullish side: https://vijayboyapati.medium.com/the-bullish-case-for-bitcoi..., and here's a more bearish view: https://crypto-anonymous-2021.medium.com/the-bit-short-insid....

I'm sure they'd be willing to decentralize it if there was a good way to do that. Maybe this can be done with something like IPFS [0].

This seems unnecessarily dismissive of audio content. Some people prefer audio content to reading. And with audio you can do passive consumption while doing something else.

> An automated text to speech translation is the worst of both.

I think you're underestimating how much better we're getting at making automated voices sound human. This site is way better than the average text to speech, and technology is only going to get better at it.

There's a chrome extension called audiblogs [0] that can convert any article into audio format. Here's the audio version of this article: https://audiblogs.com/share/4ce7e9c6-0970-4fa6-8cdb-ac244104...

What data are you looking at for this? Is it just reddit, or other social media sites too?

Not really, Google Drive is centralized and google can always touch your data. But more importantly, if you dump your JSON file on Google, it will just be a JSON file. With SocialVault you can actually browse through the data in a meaningful way.

It is entirely decentralized using Blockstack, which you may read about here: https://docs.blockstack.org/storage/overview.html.

The only part that isn't decentralized is the front end which is hosted on Netlify.

However, if you want to do everything without relying on me at all, you can also clone the repo and run it locally and everything should work the same: https://github.com/dkb868/socialvault

Yes, but if you have a large amount of data then it may take up a good chunk of your hard drive space. SocialVault allows you to store these files online, and also provides a specialized file explorer for Facebook data.

The use case is that if you're leaving Facebook, you can keep all your data/memories. And you would upload it for the same reason that you upload your photos to google photos, because it's a large amount of files to store locally, and also harder to browse.

I think you're right, the landing page does not do a good job of explaining that. Will work on improving it.
