Post Description
Curated RSS discovery. Federation by fork. No accounts. No platform.
Authors don't sign up, don't install anything. They just keep blogging like it's 2005 and a discover instance picks them up.
Hand-picked playlists of RSS/Atom feeds, organized by vibe. Browse, follow, read inline, export to your reader. Runs on Cloudflare Workers' free tier forever.
Feeds listed in discover allow an author to follow their `↩ mentions` feed to see when other writers link to their work. Pure RSS; zero spam.
Anyone can fork this, stand up their own instance, and curate their own playlists to their taste. Your corner of the web for the low, low price of $0.
Built on Cloudflare Workers. Open source: github.com/qualityshepherd/discover

Nice little UX choices here: you can import/export OPML, generate editable links without creating an account, and turn readonly copies into editable forks. The automatic feed-finding and lightweight metadata (frequency, last post, language) are the kind of practical niceties that make curating a list less tedious. It isn’t reinventing RSS, but it packages useful ops for a small but real audience.
