Show HN: I created a feed of interesting content for myself

I stopped using Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok etc long back for various reasons. But that left me wanting a simple feed of interesting content because I think that really has some value. So I built one for myself using public APIs and free datasets. I have been using it for couple years now. Thought I should share it wth HN, because why not.

Here’s how it works: every few minutes, a cron job fetches content from various APIs and datasets and populates a database table ‘cards’. When you open feedium.app, you are shown some cards from that table chosen randomly. That’s it. :)

  • Wow, this is amazing. Being a beginner in web developing, I would be really happy if you could help me out on how did you actually build this. Loved it!

  • That's... Nice.

    Any source code or blog post on how you did it?
