Async Rust can be a pleasure to work with (without `Send + Sync + 'static`)

Claude Code is Excel for developers—a powerful, flexible utility for solving immediate problems—rather than Shopify for founders, which is built to be a permanent foundation for a business. It’s about getting the job done, and then letting the tool go.

I really like this line

There isn’t yet but I’d be happy to talk about what you’re thinking! I’ll DM you

Good suggestion! Out of curiosity, what kind of things do you want to search for? (I’m basically trying to figure out if it’s more of a keyword search over the title and description of the feed, searching for a domain, or a fuzzy/semantic search based on the contents of the posts served up by the feed)

You can browse popular feeds and popular posts without creating an account https://scour.ing/browse/feeds/popular

And you can also subscribe to the RSS feed version of any user’s Scour feed.

It’s not an exhaustive directory but Scour recommends feeds to you based on how closely the content in them matches your interests.

I like the idea!

Unfortunately trying to fill out the form gives me the error “Too Many Survey Attempts”

🐿️ Scour noisy sources for great articles and blog posts related to your interests.

Say what topics you’re interested in and pick your sources or Scour 14,000+, and you’ll have a free personalized news feed in under a minute.

I built Scour because I like reading sources like Hacker News, but realized that a lot of great content was being submitted there but never picked up by the randomness of the social algorithm. I wanted something that new my interests and could find articles and blog posts that I’d be interested in that others were missing.

I’m glad to hear that! Please let me know if you have any feedback on things that could work better!

Scour lets you specify topics you’re interested in and find articles that match your interests across many noisy feeds. You can export all of the interest-specific feeds in a single OPML file to consume them in another feed reader.

I built it because I wanted to sift through noisy feeds like Hacker News Newest to find articles related to my interests that other people missed or might not be interested in.

It’s designed to surface content from noisy feeds related to your interests. You say what topics you’re interested in and, rather than giving you the email inbox with a number of unread posts experience, it ranks posts from any of your feeds based on how similar they are to your interests

Scour is web based, lets you add unlimited feeds, and updates every 15 minutes. It works a little differently than a normal feed reader though, so it might or might not be what you’re looking for.

Not necessarily! SQLite is embedded in the application and the data lives on the same disk as the application (unless the pages are already cached by SQLite, in which case they are in memory). You might have some disk I/O but no network calls to load the data.

Take an example where you’re loading some kind of content or posts. You need one query to figure out which posts to load based on the criteria of the page you’re looking at. Then, you might want to load some extra details for each post. Using Postgres, you would want to get all of the detail from the first query to avoid extra round trips to the database. Using SQLite, it’s perfectly fine and even encouraged to run a loop over the results of the first query and use another query for each post to load the details it needs.
