What does "recommend bookmarks it thinks you might want to read again" mean? How does that work?

This is cool. A search function filter might be nice.
These things are always funny to me. By the third or so release, it'll be just as easy to write your own script than to learn how to use this.

I can't understand the point of this after looking at it for 1 minute. What does this have over a blog?

Fun toy, complete with Big Bang Theory mode. ^_^
Farewell letter is such a simple thing to write though. Communication is such a key skill as an engineer I feel like letters like this should be personal.

What's the point of something like this is a world where flex box is a standard?

No surprises here. Snapchat captures the use a common person wants. Twitter's really just good for tracking celebrities.
Re:Feedback Requested on a New Concert Aggregate Site on Tuesday May 31, 2016 @03:17PM (#11809282)

What's wrong with a curated forum for speech, especially if the guidelines are a part of the terms of service? Why does everything need to be all about free speech? No one forces you to use these tools, if they start censoring too much stuff, users can move onto another service. I'd much rather use sites where I can post without worrying about getting bombarded with hate messages. HN is such a kind place compared to twitter and Facebook.
