I rolled my own because I had unreasonable expectations:
* Cost almost nothing even if massive traffic (I wish)
* Infinate scaling
* No markdown, just html
* Post from browser, no publishing utils
* No web server
* No database
* Important plugins - comments, social media, email list
* Templates (eventually)
Built with jquery, S3, Cloudfront

Re:Ask HN: What is your content discovery daily routine?

I built Virwire to auto curate news from thousands of sources worldwide 24/7.
Original motivation was to to scratch my own itch for news. I found I was spending far too much time foraging for content so decided to automate discovery and relevance filtering. The app is web based but formatted for mobile.
The story stream is increasingly global, random and tolerant of competing biases, I hope a new way to experience news and see the world.
