    Hi, IndieFeeds is a HN clone, where submissions come from personal websites only. For now I add feeds manually while reading HN. If I see submission coming from personal website I check if it uses RSS and in case it does, I add it to IndieFeeds.com. So now HN works as a filter of content for IndieFeeds :). Site is probably lacking some functionality, but for now I wanted to share it with you and see what you think about this idea.

    Besides that I love concept of RSS, so wanted to play with it :)

    For folks curious about this space there's also the (very small) IndieNews, which allows publishers to submit links using webmentions:

    Which voting algorithm are you using? I recently wrote an article about that topic and working on part 2: https://felx.me/2021/08/29/improving-the-hacker-news-ranking...

    Happy to help if you want to talk about it.

    Very nice. I think you need to decide what is the main point of your site. is it an alternative way to read HN? Is is a curated edition of HN? or is it going to be something on its own eventually, and HN is only a method to jump start it?

    Like it. But please, set a max width on the contents and center it on the page like HN.
