We're doing that here :)
There were many times someone else’s comment stopped me before I read the Johnathon Turley opinion piece Artifact kept trying to throw at me.
Thought this was about Valve's Artifact TCG, and was like "wait, didn't they already shut that down?"
Am I the only person in the comments that didn’t like Artifact? It was basically Digg v4. It was full of sponsored content and blog spam; and user’s couldn’t submit content.
It was everything people revolved about on other news aggregator platforms.
There's a thread from last week where some other alternatives were discussed: among them
- Nuggets: News & Conversation: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nuggets-news-conversation/id6462796101
- Feeds & Fediverse: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/newsbite/id1478566472

I think the concept of a "mixed reader" that can pull in Big Social / Fediverse / RSS and other curated sources has a lot of potential (Nuggets is the most interesting one to me here)
Nuggets not having an Android app is an interesting choice.
Thanks!
Unfortunately a lot of these are Apple-only and/or just RSS readers. I'll miss Artifact's algorithm.
We people who have android exists
Curious if this is a subtle attempt at flex, on the internet you never know
haha no, seems to just be a coincidence.
I remember trying it and disliking it. Wasn't very good, which seems to be echoed by other users. :p
Their recommendation algorithm was terrible. It just sent me every article from BookRiot and any article that mentioned whiskey.
Been using it since before public release. I loved the news reader mode. It was so clean and simple. The news curation algo is solid. I will miss Atifact.
I completely forgot I had installed this app until reading this post. Guess they are making the right choice!
I really liked their option to rewrite clickbait headlines. That saved so much time and frustration reading nonsense articles.
