When I start to become too busy to read Hacker News, I simply stop reading it. I removed it from my RSS feed long ago (who can actually read 1000+ submissions per day, and remain employed?), and only visit the site manually now.
A page or two later, and I'm usually done. Great things usually stay fairly sticky on the main page, and truly fantastic things will generally be mirrored elsewhere.
YMMV.
- MichaelApproved 16y agoWhat if I delivered content that gave you something between stopping to read it and only getting the truly fantastic?
- pixelbath 16y agoI might be interested, depending on the editorial quality of the summary. Though honestly, I might still come directly to Hacker News specifically for those stories that fly under the radar. I've noticed that the goals of a startup-oriented aggregator do not always intersect my interests. I think cherry-picking out of the broader feed would only decrease the total number of items to read, but not necessarily improve the signal. The target audience (entrepreneurs, investors, startups) may benefit greatly; I don't know. It's difficult to get a feel for how this works without some visible examples, though.
- MichaelApproved 16y agoI'm working on the first batch of summaries now. If you signed up, you should get some examples shortly.
