Removes HN/PH switching friction, but Feedly, RSS aggregators, and curated newsletters already solve this.

Strengths
  • •Zero friction entry—no signup, instant bookmarking, telegram digest automation
  • •Covers the genuine 80/20 use case (catching trending tech news across two feeds)
  • •Built fast and shipped (FastAPI + SQLite), lean execution
Weaknesses
  • •No novel differentiation from existing feed aggregators, RSS readers, or newsletter services
  • •Unclear if notification delivery (Telegram) scales or remains reliable long-term

Post Description

Hey everyone!

I built Tech Digest because I was tired of switching between Hacker News and Product Hunt every morning just to catch up on what's trending in tech. So I spent a couple of hours and built a better way to do it — a single, clean feed that pulls the top stories from both platforms.

Here's what it does: - Filter by source (HN / Product Hunt) - Bookmark stories to read later - Daily Telegram digest so you never miss a thing - No signup needed — just open and browse

It's fully open source and was built with FastAPI + SQLite in a couple of hours.

Would love to hear what you think! Drop a comment if you find it useful, and feel free to follow me on X — https://x.com/ig_vaibhav1

Snapbyte – personalized email digests from HN/Reddit/Lobsters

Pick sources, select from 135+ topics, and get a short, Gemini-powered summary delivered on your schedule — the workflow is exactly what you'd expect from a focused digest. The implementation choices (trafilatura scraping, small services on k8s, gemini-3 for summaries) are pragmatic and show real engineering; what I'd like to see next is clearer scoring/ranking methodology and more source coverage before it unseats Mailbrew or daily.dev.
