Google Alerts is fundamentally broken, I found. Never worked reliably for me.

This is brilliant. Using it myself for a while and support the creator on Patreon.
Thanks! I am on iOS, yes. Have you noticed any positive impacts on battery time, too?
Desktop PC then?
That's a good one. Usually I block all notifications on both laptop and mobile. Do not disturb is my favourite feature.
That's interesting. Can you elaborate? How does it help you?
Found a workaround. Create a Google Alert for site:indiehackers.com and subscribe via RSS feed:

https://www.google.com/alerts/feeds/04308699908033129398/149...

That's a good first start. Thank you!

Would you like to reduce? Do you feel it's too much?
Flameshot for screenshot taking and annotation. Goodvibes for online radio listening. Workrave and Rescuetime to limit my screen time. CopyQ to manage my clipboard. Xfce to provide me with a well-functioning desktop.
Re:Ask HN: Which RSS reader do you use? on Tuesday May 14, 2019 @10:04AM (#19909529)
Feedly and Blogtrottr.
Not necessarily alternative but I saw that for example Google seems to be trying to reinvent the wheel with emailing and calendar, introducing features like "Snooze", "Reminders", or "Goals". I am wondering how useful or widely used this features are or whether traditional approaches to email and calendar are just fine and sufficient.

To do less but focus deeply.
- I tried Umatrix but it was too much configuration for me. ublock provides me with a sane out of the box experience.

- I am not sure whether privacy badger and decentraleyes are mutually exclusive.
