Show HN: ADHD STASH. A curated collection of ADHD friendly products and services
It would work the same for me, if only because I'd redirect the email to my RSS reader (via Feedbin[0] or Kill the Newsletter[1] or similar)! I suspect most people who care about RSS would do the same, but the Webflow docs[2] show it being pretty straightforward to set up, and (imo) it's an easy backup hedge against all your comms getting stuck in spam filters. Plus, it just feels more ADHD-friendly to me to reduce ping noise as much as possible.

Reddit API Changes, Subreddit Blackout, and How It Affects You
I use Feedbin to read them. Because of their open nature nobody can tell the sole developer there “people can only read feeds using our app, and you can go pound sand”.

Web browser-based RSS reader
Comes to my mind one that I bumped into a while ago: Feedbin, although I haven't tried it. It's web based and it costs $5/month but it has a 30 day trial period. It works also through third party apps on Android and iOS (well, the latter seems to have a dedicated one by themselves).

Google Reader shut down announced ten years ago today
I can recommend https://feedbin.com/ as a great replacement. It's $50 a year, but in return you get a service that is rock solid with an owner who is luckily very good in >> not << implementing features: no feature creep, no breaking changes, no BS.

Why does no one talk about RSS readers?
I enjoy using Feedbin, as it's not only my own newsfeed for blogs, but it also supports Twitter too. The interface has a clean, thoughtful design which is really important for me.

Apple Introduces M4 Chip
>Google operates in China albeit via their HK domain.
The Chinese government has access to the iCloud account of every Chinese Apple user.
>They also had project DragonFly if you remember.
Which never materialized.
>The lesser of two evils is that one company doesn’t try to actively profile me (in order for their ads business to be better) with every piece of data it can find and forces me to share all possible data with them.
Apple does targeted and non targeted advertising as well. Additionally, your carrier has likely sold all of the data they have on you. Apple was also sued for selling user data to ad networks. Odd for a Privacy First company to engage in things like that.
>Google is famously known to kill apps that are good and used by customers: https://killedbygoogle.com/
Google has been around for 26 years I believe. According to that link 60 apps were killed in that timeframe. According to your statement that Google kills an app a month that would leave you 252 apps short. Furthermore, the numbers would indicate that Google has killed 2.3 apps per year or .192 apps per month.
>As for the subpar apps: there is a massive difference between the network traffic when on the Home Screen between iOS and Android.
Not sure how that has anything to do with app quality, but if network traffic is your concern there's probably a lot more an Android user can do than an iOS user tp control or eliminate the traffic.

How I migrated from Firebase to Supabase
I was already starting to feel a little cornered in the whole Google ecosystem and a bit limited with stuff like backups, vendor lock in, etc. (and you always have the obvious hanging over your head) and ultimately, I think I just find the mental model of a SQL database more intuitive compared to a NoSQL database. So I thought to myself; "the longer I leave it, the harder it'll be to make the switch".

Google's Decision to Effectively Kill-off Small Sites
And this isn't even the first time I've been burned by Google's decisions. If you're familiar at all with the Google Graveyard, you'll know that Google has a long history of killing off products and services that people have come to rely on. This has happened to me a number of times, in both a personal and professional capacity, and frankly it's getting old.

Calls grow for Sundar Pichai to step down from Google CEO position
Just because Google has a couple of decent services that you're willing to pay for doesn't detract from the fact that most of their products have a worse life expectancy than a victorian child in the 1800s. https://killedbygoogle.com
They ruined every single opportunity to be more than an advertising company since Orkut. With scrapped attempts, starts and lack of intention for most of the 2010s to even during the early half of the Pixel Era, they seemingly haven't learnt to stick to something and iterate on it well.
And the fact that over 50% of their revenues come from search and by extension, advertising.
The fact' that til this day, they still haven't evolved from the "throwing shit at the wall then at the fan" strat which explains how they have fumbled so much so quickly.
