I’m working on Digest: https://usedigest.com

It lets you combine the things you already follow like RSS, Hacker News, Reddit, YouTube, X, newsletters, weather, stocks, etc. into one personal email delivered on your schedule.

Recently I’ve been working on AI summaries for incoming newsletters. The interesting product problem is that once you combine this many sources into an email, there is a challenge to keeping the results finite and useful.

I believe it was sold off and is no longer maintained -- their changelog shows no updates since 2023. We constantly update the platform, and have more sources available plus a mobile app.

Working on https://usedigest.com — a personalized daily digest.

It aggregates data from across the web into a single feed, pulling in news, weather, newsletters, social posts, Reddit, YouTube, and more.

I also finally launched my first iOS app that goes a step further. During onboarding, you set your preferences once. From there, AI automatically prepares your daily digest for you. Each morning, you get a notification when it’s ready, with everything relevant for the day ahead: meetings, weather, health data, commute insights, and the news you actually care about.

Been working on https://usedigest.com

- It's a personalized newsletter for you

- All data aggregated from sources around the web

- News, weather, newsletters, social media posts, reddit, youtube, etc. all appear in your digest.

- Launching a mobile app as well now but this will be slightly different than the web app. It will use AI to automatically prepare your daily digest based on preferences/settings you give it during onboarding. Each day when you wake up you'll receive a notification of digest being ready, and it will contain all the content you care about for the day ahead (meetings, weather, health data, commute data, news, etc).

Thanks for providing RSS feeds for Kagi -- just added them all to https://usedigest.com so users can use this as a drop-in replacement for their news instead of adding various RSS feeds from other news outlets.

I'm working on Digest (usedigest.com) which curates content from nearly any source into your own personalized email newsletter. It also has a newsletter reader built into it as well so all of your newsletters get funneled into Digest, instead of your email inbox.

This is spot on and exactly why I built digest. You bypass the algos entirely and are shown only what you want to see, not what the algos want you to see.

I built an app (https://usedigest.com) for this exact reason, I couldn't stop with the doom scrolling. I wasn't particularly looking for anything either, just swiping and swiping... constantly reaching for my phone even when I'd just stop to pee for 30 seconds I'd find myself taking out my phone and swiping. The app I built aggregates content from all the sources I was looking at and just sends me a daily summary. I've been able cut way down on this addiction.

We have an X (Twitter) option that does not rely on RSS. I think Nitter is dead anyway?
