Looking at Techmeme, it looks like a simple product. Very well done, yes. It looks like they spend a lot of time curating the news, no doubt assisted by software. But still, a simple product with low barrier of entry.<p>Why then is there close to zero competition? I don't see any site coming even close to their product.<p>I have a sense that I am missing something. Is this business harder than it looks?
I am a huge fan of a similar product in China - <a href="https://tophub.today/" rel="nofollow">https://tophub.today/</a><p>Wish someone could have made a better version. <a href="https://techurls.com/" rel="nofollow">https://techurls.com/</a> has better user interface but seems like some contents are not being updated.
Any aggregator will be successful since people don't want to manually search for news & trends. The real trick is aggregating the aggregators. That's still a hard problem.
