I haven't ever read an article with more contempt for the reader.

that orange color clashes in some places, notably that blue section halfway down the index page

higher resolution images would be nice

otherwise, looks good. straight to the point, modern, nice work.

I didn't notice that, thanks!

Changelogs as a Service, eh? The idea definitely has potential!

Somehow I've signed myself up for a bunch of newsletters from various companies whose services I don't even use that update me on new features they've implemented in addition to blogs from their employees. It's an interesting read from time to time so I haven't unsubscribed.

If you can provide a service which can guide other people through publishing the same type of useful/interesting/insightful information regardless of the size/scope/nature of their project/research/work/business/hobby...

This idea is actually really exciting the more I think about it. Keep at it!

But the landing page needs more information, yes.

I've seen a similar concept before: http://4chancode.org/

I like this one more though, the code looks more realistic.

On: Ask HN: What's your favorite “read later” web tool...

[specifictso]

This amazing thing called "bookmarks".

Changed my life tbh

[marcolinux → specifictso]

Not sure if you are joking but I use bookmarks as my preferred read-later tool.

Firefox helps a lot with sync, open all in tabs, bookmark all and click/drag to reorder links.

I just put the link in "atHome" folder so to read it with more attention at,you guessed, home. The folder "atWork" is reserved for links where I must run some code, test some new library, etc due to more powerful machine. I have another folder "daily", for sites I visit every day (hn, soylentNews, hackaday, etc) and long posts eg with chapters (books, for instance); The folder "Weekly", for low volume sites, basically comics.

This, together with some speed reading, BS skipping and troll detect works very well, to the point Im often run out of things to read.

I always felt Firefox's Unsorted Bookmarks was a great inbox for articles to read later or ones you're not sure whether to read yet. I'm kind of surprised that concept hasn't made it Chrome or Safari. Likewise with bookmark tagging.

[vram22 → marcolinux]

Interesting, this is the kind of feedback I was looking for, thanks.

I did try bookmarks quite a while ago (IIRC, in Firefox), including a few of the things you mention. I think I found it had some limitations. But that was a while ago. Maybe I didn't try enough variations or tweaking of it. Will check it out again.

[vram22 → specifictso]

Is that the best you could do? :)

In terms of jokes, I mean.

Sorry to disappoint, thank you for reading though!

Sorbet is my codename for a soundcloud clone I'm working on, in super secret. I don't have anything to show for it, apart from the other projects listed in the post.

This was more of a cathartic, taking inventory or taking stock, semi-stream-of-consciousness-ohgodimdoingitagain

But yeah, the other projects which I detail are what I meant to showcase :x
