Show HN: Rdltr – Inbox zero for your reading list
C
Hi HN, for the past few months I’ve been working on a read later app called RDLTR ( https://rdltr.app). The whole thing started because I had so many tabs open with stuff I wanted to read, across browsers, Mac, Linux, and iPhone. They cluttered everything and got in the way of other things I had to do. Pocket had just shut down when this idea came up, I looked around, tried Instapaper, Raindrop, Matter, and a few others I forget. They were fine, but they all give you a list that only grows, which is another thing to maintain, and not the model I had in mind. Safari has this Reading List feature where you read something and it drops off the unread list. But it’s Apple only and half worked. What I wanted was inbox zero for reading. Open something, read it, come back, and it’s gone from the queue but still in the archive. You keep going until there is nothing left. Links come in from anywhere. Paste a URL on the page, drag one in, or use the bookmarklet, the Chrome and Firefox extensions, or the Apple Shortcut for the iOS share sheet, plus Vim keys, TL;DR summaries on each link, search across everything you have read or saved, RSS for every list, and it works just as well on the phone. The extensions have a couple of tricks that I use all the time. Shift+DD pulls the article text, cleans it up, and sends it to ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini in a new tab, so you can ask it anything about what you just read. Shift+AA opens it in the Internet Archive, handy for paywalled sites when you don’t have a subscription. The stack is Bun, TypeScript, HTMX, and SQLite, with SSE so the list updates the moment you save or read something, deployed on a Hetzner VPS. Full disclosure, Claude Code wrote most of it. I still spent a ton of time dogfooding, testing, and polishing the UI until things felt right. Anyway, curious to know what your current setup is for this.

Show HN: Lectura, a privacy, simple, server side rendered RSS reader
unrated
I am avid reader of blogs (always been since 2005 onwards), so it was always on my list to build a rss reader at some point. Initially I've built lectura for myself (the first version started when I've experimented with server side rendering/Thymeleaf + Spring Boot) and self hosted on a server (without a domain). Then I decided to vibecode multi user support. And this is the final result. What are some highlights: - It doesn't track/record what the users are doing. There are no emails (no password recovering in case you lose your password). The only information that's kept are your own subscription, that others can see as well. But that's it. Because of this, creating a username takes 5 seconds (depending on how fast you write); - It supports different layouts that I find useful with my RSS reader. For example there's a 'random' content view so you can read "historical articles" you've might missed. There's a another view called 'Quiet Sources' so you can 'prioritise' blogs that don't publish often. I'll let you find the other views. - It has good accesibility support, or it should. If not, drop me some feedback; - For the moment it's free. I don't expect a big influx of users (who uses a RSS reader + reading blogs nowadays) so I have a cheap dedicated server at 20$ per month. With the current resources, unless someone really wants to "put it down", it should work with a few hundred users (reading concurrently). I can afford paying 20$ montly withouthing thinking to ask for money, at least for the moment. That's it. I don't have experience with 'products', 'startups', etc. This is just a project I hope will be useful to someone other than me. If not, i will keep using it as my "premium" RSS reader :). Cheers, Andrei

Show HN: Turn newsletters and blogs into a podcast feed
unrated
Newsletter to Podcast is an open-source Python tool that turns newsletters and blogs into an RSS podcast feed! You can pick the sources, generate audio, and subscribe to the resulting feed in a podcast app that supports custom RSS (I use Castbox). The project supports full article narration as well as spoken summaries. Full narration uses Edge TTS and needs no API key; summaries use Gemini and require your own key (though the free limit is quite generous)! You can set a maximum episode length and longer full readings split into numbered parts at natural text boundaries. There’s a prerecorded sample on the demo page, and a simple command in the README that fetches an original sample article and generates fresh audio without an API key. The package can run locally or on a schedule in your own GitHub repository using GitHub Actions! I wanted to turn some of my favorite newsletters into podcasts (like Seth’s Blog and A Learning A Day) and couldn’t find a free and simple solution that already existed. Let me know what you think!
