Show HN: DailyTown – An alternative to the algorithmic feed

1 pointsby charleshan5 months ago
Hi HN, there is something that&#x27;s been bugging me for some time. I choose to follow specific people on social media because I want to see their posts but at the end of the day, an ever-changing algorithm decides what I see. I get the feeling of being pushed into things rather than pulling in the things I want.<p>The solution I came up with is a new social media format to stay up to date: a chronological, continuous queue for each person you follow where it continues from where you left off. This means that as a creator, you get a direct channel to your followers, and as a follower, you can stay in touch with specific people, ideas, and interests on your own terms without letting some algorithm get in the way.<p>If you&#x27;re reading this, I think you&#x27;ll enjoy following @hn500 that lets you follow all HN posts that reach 500 points, or any of the following accounts: @hn, @hn20, @hn50, @hn100, @hn150, @hn200, @hn250, and @hn300.<p>I&#x27;d love hear what you think!
