The briefing rss feed contains one entry per day with a link to that days briefing page. The briefing itself cannot be customized, it's the same for everybody.

For the list views you can use the filter menu to filter by min votes or subscribe to any of the min vote rss feeds.

Sign-in is only needed to interact with the site, like voting or hiding entries. If you want to suggest your own blog, just send a mail to [email protected] as described in the FAQ.

Independent does not mean self-hosted. Blog platforms are ok if the content is not monetized, no adverts, no paywalls, no self-marketing. For full criteria see the FAQs.

Bubbles dev here, I've heard you loud and clear and follow the discussion closely.

I will change the default behaviour to open links in the same tab like on HN or Lobsters soon. But first the HN visitor wave needs to calm down.

I currently work on a feature to show excerpts (and read time) in the list views as well. But I will wait with the deployment until the Hacker News visitor wave has calmed down.

Not really, I just picked it up from the initial question from stakhanov.

It runs on Go + sqlite on a Hetzner machine, built from scratch, not a re-skin.

Bubbles dev here, thanks for the mention
Re:Ask HN: What are you building that's not AI related? on Thursday April 09, 2026 @12:28PM (#47705727)
I've built Bubbles, a reader-curated frontpage for discovering articles from thousands of personal indie blogs. No AI, no algorithm, no signup. Auth and comments are handled via Fediverse handles. https://bubbles.town
Re:Show HN: I built a frontpage for personal blogs on Friday April 03, 2026 @01:36PM (#47629617)
Bubbles is different, because the front page is created by real people voting. It also supports comments, blogs in EN and DE, as well as following blogs.
