I often think this. I use a mix of reeder, feedly, vore, instapaper to see what I like.

However I look at my parents and they’ll use Apple News or whatever news source they trust in a browser.

Flipboard is used because it makes it easy for people to find aggregated information. What’s easier than something that already does the aggregation for you?

Often we take for granted things we consider to be normal. I would think everyone has uBlock Origin installed (i’ve used it for years) or something similar, but this is clearly not the case.

i can see how that sounded! it’s a lightweight, browser-based rss reader.

i made a short script that scrapes my own feed and sends an email.

Yeah, Vore. That awesome song by the British metalcore band Sleep Token.
