Added full-text search. We still have /t/topic as the backbone but if you want to search for a certain graphics card, not just NVIDIA, you can. Still working on appearance.

I guess it's more of a feed split up by topic.

Read blogs by what they're talking about.

I'm confused, that's just a feed?

    Maybe you'd call it a feed of feeds. https://blogsreader.com/t/supreme_court is the number one topic this past week and it has different blogs talking about recent decisions.

    Maybe more appropriate to HN: https://blogsreader.com/t/ux_design https://blogsreader.com/t/large_language_models https://blogsreader.com/t/claude

    https://blogsreader.com/blog

    Disadvantages: 1. You can't follow feeds. I tried blending it in and I just can't make it work. But I think it's OK: you can still use your favorite newsreader to follow the people you really want to listen to. That's what I plan on doing with NetNewsWire.

    2. It only works online. Newsreaders got started when bandwidth was at a premium and nobody had a T1 to their house, let alone 1Gbps.

    3. We use the article for classification but you can't read more than a line or two on BlogsReader. I think this is great for authors who will — hopefully — get more visits, but it's different than having the whole thing on your device.
