Well, not quite. NewsBee isn't trying to compete with RSS Menu. It's actually doing something different. Most news readers create a distraction by telling you much much news you have left to read. I like to think of this as the +1000 Syndrome of Google Reader. I created NewsBee because I love keeping up with Hacker News. I just didn't want to pop into a browser each time I got the urge to check in. I also didn't want the overhead or distraction of a typical RSS reader showing me all the things I haven't read. This is why NewsBee shows one feed and one feed only at a time. It puts the focus on the site and leaves the distraction behind. This isn't to say there's anything wrong with a full-fledged RSS reader. Quite the opposite. There's a place for those too. NewsBee is just something different.
