   Agree it doesn't render well in Chrome for example. In elinks and firefox under Linux it looks fine for me though.

   Looks like it was submitted 2 days ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11477365 , so maybe it was done to avoid the dupe detection.

   Thanks for the suggestion! Will reach out to jcs. Reddit may not be optimal though I feel.

   I'm by no means a UI expert nor an English native speaker so I'm not sure if you're sarcastic. Would you mind elaborating on the feedback?

   Thanks! Yes it's actually supposed to work with cookies, but I haven't tested this properly. Will probably follow your advice and hide it for non-logged in users until I'm sure it's working correctly.

    OK noted. It was also highlighted by others, will address this (tomorrow).

    The base site is based on lobste.rs and the automatic news collection is just email subscriptions to a bunch of open source projects announcement mailing lists. I may need to extend it to poll websites or github for release notes in the fut

    Good suggestion! I'm thinking I can create a tag specifically for automated submissions. I'll look into this tomorrow.

    Yes, it's all valid feedback. I kind of felt a gap for a timely updated and focused news source focused on "open source". At this point I don't plan to shift to an existing news aggregator, but if you don't mind sha

    Thanks! I hadn't thought about having an IRC channel. I'm trying to keep up with the invitations. Didn't honestly expect that much interest. :) I hope the website is still usable (I'm monitoring 'top' here and

    Much valid points and interesting view. I did think about a few of these aspects - in particular community fostering and whether to focus on a specific project or area. It was all becoming a pretty complex problem to figure out, so I decide

    Thanks for the suggestion! Will definitely look into that!

    Thanks for the feedback! It was the last item I was planning to address before "launching" the site, but I decided to put it off for another day. It'll soon be fixed.

    Thanks, will review the color scheme again.. The name will be addressed. Regarding the slowness, I hope it's a temporary thing - the HN effect - my 512MB droplet is struggling a bit at the moment.

    I can't take any credit for that, as I forked lobste.rs implementation which already has that feature. But yes, I like the transparency too.

    OK thanks for the suggestion - I've gone ahead and registered FOSSwatch.com. Will likely switch, but maybe not tonight.

    If you don't mind sharing the error you encountered (screenshot?) feel free to drop me an email - address in my profile. I just got the SSL via Namecheap a few days back, I haven't had issues with them before, but I'm by no m

    OSwatch is focused on open source news, or sharing of open source projects, while I believe lobste.rs targets broader topics/audience. Implementation-wise OSwatch is very similar, being a fork of lobste.rs.

    Thanks for the feedback! Will look into font size, and the name will be reconsidered as well.

    Thanks for the feedback! It looks like the name was not optimally chosen based on the feedback in this thread, so I may need to address that. If the site or FB/twitter-feeds gains more regular users than myself I'll definitely loo

    I guess you are referring to some submission titles containing [Project Name] and at the same time carrying a tag-"button"? The submission titles for automated submission are taken from the email subject, and kept to make twitter

    Thanks! Actually the implementation is based on https://lobste.rs code at https://github.com/jcs/lobsters but yes, the plan is to open source this fork quite soon.

    Thanks for the constructive criticism, it's a good suggestion - I've been contemplating the same myself. I'll look into how I can obtain official original links (currently the information is fed via email).

    Yes, I realize the name clash with http://oswatch.org/ and the fact that OSS is a more proper abbreviation of open source software. The name was picked based on the name "open source watch". May rename in the futu

    Thanks! To ensure timely updates I "cheated" and have subscriptions set up for a bunch of open source projects announcement lists, and auto-posting them to osnews.
