Yup, everything's already there, just a bit disguised: * Feed before original site? No problem, set Feed as the default in Preferences. Also, if you like one view or another, it saves per-site. * To read all stories in a folder, just click

I'm a hacker, what can I say? The design I think makes a lot of intuitive sense. The visual layout leaves a little something to be desired. But then again, that's how you know NewsBlur is legit and not some fly-by-night.

I used to use Google Reader, but I found that I missed seeing the original site and that I couldn't easily filter out stories I didn't want to read. So I built NewsBlur -- http://www.newsblur.com . It's open-source and I'd love if more fol

A 15" MacBook Pro. So I bike 4 miles with this thing strapped to my back, then hop on the train (Caltrain, where bikes are treated like kings). I think I just got used to schlepping 5.5 lbs. around. I recently came from NYC where I would us

Supervisor is responsible for starting the gunicorn process, so it knows the PID when it starts it. Gunicorn controls its own PID file, but supervisor can send it process signals. Here's my sample Supervisord conf file for gunicorn: [

You only see the premium product when you first activate your feeds. Standard users only have 64 feeds, but when you first import your feeds, you're asked whether you want to go premium. I try to stay out of your way as much as possible. No

Sweet! Fixed. The typo was only in the visible link, but good catch. (I should probably just register newbslur since I type it so damn much.)

Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it. Really, I run on props, and a comment like this is worth at least a month of energy. As for being acquired, I feel like it's this myth that great projects get acquired or sold. But I haven't

Sure, you would need to login for most endpoints, but I have a number of additions that I'm planning: OAuth, HTTP Basic Auth, and JSONP when given a callback parameter. I agree, it'd be useful to use some of this data from JavaScript, but o

HN, it's been six months since I launched NewsBlur ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1834305 ) and I've been working nearly every single day in my free time to bring this API to light. As some of you know, it's entirely open-source on G

It's all part of DocumentCloud, which means API access to the text of all that Guantanamo data. See how easy this can be: curl http://www.documentcloud.org/api/search.json?q=group:nytimes "total": 2821, "page": 1, "per_pa

This is the sharpest review of Backbone.js I've seen. A number of points raised by the author Kevin gives the feeling that he has a supernatural insight into why tradeoffs were made. Reading this review over, each point seems obvious, but t

As others have said, task queues (look into Celery, which is in Python), Mark Pilgrim's feedparser, and make sure you don't fetch more often than you need to. A few thousand feeds is fine, but if you grow in the hundreds of thousands of fee

Am I crazy or was there not a single reduce query in the post? I've been working on map reduce queries for a little while now, aggregating statistics over feeds and stories posted, normalizing over item frequencies, and generally doing simp

Visually, I think the old-style of exposé makes window discovery much easier. I find myself using exposé with hot corners almost every time I switch windows. I'm going to be using the mouse later to test something in a browser window, so I

It's a different use case. If you want, you can click on links in the original site, but then you are no longer on newsblur.com. The way i am able to take over the original site is through a proxy. What your describing is that every link sh
