Maybe it's done like that for performance reasons?

You may like my Mastodon or Twitter bot:

- https://twitter.com/IndieRandWeb

- https://mastodon.social/web/@FunRandWeb

They post every two hours a link to an indie website.

Source code for the curious: https://github.com/xojoc/randomwebsitebot

The websites are taken from https://stumblingon.com/ at the moment, but I'll add more sources in the future.

It actually should be near time, at most some days old posts. You can also lookup by url and search for whole domain or "subfolder", see https://discu.eu/search/

P.s. I'm the creator of discu.eu

Hi!

in the last few months I've been working on a semi-automatic weekly newsletter for various topics, mainly about programming.

Each week a recap is sent with a link to relevant discussions (on Lobsters, HN, Reddit, etc.).

Sample issue for Rust: https://discu.eu/weekly/rust/2022/24/

Sample issue for Compsci: https://discu.eu/weekly/compsci/2022/24/

Beside the newsletter, there's also a browser extension which shows the presence of discussions for the page you're currently viewing: https://discu.eu/extension and a series of bots for Mastodon and Twitter which post regular updates: https://discu.eu/social

Developed with Django: https://github.com/xojoc/discussions

Any feedback is welcome! Especially about the landing page :)

Due to the HN interest in search engines, you may find useful the "Search Engines" entry on Curlie: https://curlie.org/en/Computers/Internet/Searching/Search_En...

And the "Specialized Search Engines" one: https://curlie.org/en/Computers/Internet/Searching/Search_En...

Here's the help page: https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/sp...

On Firefox on desktop I see the "feedback" menu in the lower right corner.
