timqian··on Show HN: One Goal – Makes your goal more visible by showing it on the menu bar
Why I build it: I am a forgetful person. Many times after I open my MacBook and scan some news, I totally forget what I initially try to accomplish. I want to build a simple tool to display my current goal on the menu bar.
timqian··on Ask HN: What (side-)project are you working on?
I am building an social RSS reader: https://feeds.pub
timqian··on I Still Use RSS
I think this kind of service is actually harmful to content providers. They can not benefit from the content they created if readers always consume it on the RSS readers. That's one of the reasons many blogger/website don't provide RSS feeds anymore.

The RSS aggregators should encourage readers to go to the original website. So when I got the chance to build my own RSS reader(https://feeds.pub) I only shows a title and link of an article to readers to drive them to the original website.

https://feeds.pub A social RSS reader
timqian··on Show HN: HackerDaily – What if HN updates only once a day?

timqian··on Show HN: Feeds Pub – a social RSS feed reader
Hi, HN, I am the author of Feeds Pub

The major difference between Feeds Pub and other RSS reader is

- You can see what feeds are people following. e.g. Here you can find the feeds I followed: https://feeds.pub/timqian

- You are able to see who is following and reading your blog. e.g. https://feeds.pub/feed/https%3A%2F%2Fblog.feeds.pub%2Frss.xm...

- A HN like ranking system helps user find trending contents: https://feeds.pub/explore

Feeds Pub is in its early stage, any feedback is very welcomed, thanks

timqian··on Show HN: Feeds Pub – A social RSS aggregator

timqian··on Show HN: I want to write resume in markdown, so I build this tool
In many cases, I need a PDF version of my resume. But not much markdown editor support the md2pdf process for now.

The only web app I find supporting md2pdf is cv.ftqq.com. But it is not possible to customize themes in it. I want to make the theme customizable.

So I build this one

timqian··on Show HN: I want to write resume in markdown, so I build this tool
it is based on an open source markdown editor https://github.com/nhn/tui.editor

About the codemirror css, it is there because this editor uses it to highlight markdown code
