I believe it was sold off and is no longer maintained -- their changelog shows no updates since 2023. We constantly update the platform, and have more sources available plus a mobile app.

Working on https://usedigest.com — a personalized daily digest.

It aggregates data from across the web into a single feed, pulling in news, weather, newsletters, social posts, Reddit, YouTube, and more.

I also finally launched my first iOS app that goes a step further. During onboarding, you set your preferences once. From there, AI automatically prepares your daily digest for you. Each morning, you get a notification when it’s ready, with everything relevant for the day ahead: meetings, weather, health data, commute insights, and the news you actually care about.

Been working on https://usedigest.com

- It's a personalized newsletter for you

- All data aggregated from sources around the web

- News, weather, newsletters, social media posts, reddit, youtube, etc. all appear in your digest.

- Launching a mobile app as well now but this will be slightly different than the web app. It will use AI to automatically prepare your daily digest based on preferences/settings you give it during onboarding. Each day when you wake up you'll receive a notification of digest being ready, and it will contain all the content you care about for the day ahead (meetings, weather, health data, commute data, news, etc).

Thanks for providing RSS feeds for Kagi -- just added them all to https://usedigest.com so users can use this as a drop-in replacement for their news instead of adding various RSS feeds from other news outlets.

A daily briefing that bundles content from every source you care about into a simple newsletter format.

Show HN: Digest – Create daily briefings from any source (HN, Reddit, X, RSS)

digest — Wed, 07 May 2025 10:07:54 +0000

Hey HN! I've built Digest to fix my own information overload. It provides custom daily briefings from the sources you care about.

Most of us check 10+ places a day — HN, reddit, X, RSS feeds, substack, youtube, newsletters, weather, calendar, etc.

Digest pulls content from all of them and compiles it into one clean email.

Choose your sources, set filters, and Digest does the rest. It’s for people who want less noise and want to stay informed without wasting too much time.

Some example use cases:

- A morning briefing that contains: weather for today, HN top posts, top posts from subreddits, and your meetings for the day

- An evening briefing to see top posts you missed for the day on HN, Reddit, as well as top news stories, and your meetings for tomorrow

- A daily overview of all the newsletters you've received, and you can easily read them in our newsletter reader.

- A daily briefing on specific topics, like AI, which pulls content from X, subreddits, RSS feeds, youtube and more.

I'd love feedback and ideas

I'm working on Digest (usedigest.com) which curates content from nearly any source into your own personalized email newsletter. It also has a newsletter reader built into it as well so all of your newsletters get funneled into Digest, instead of your email inbox.

This is spot on and exactly why I built digest. You bypass the algos entirely and are shown only what you want to see, not what the algos want you to see.

New comment by digest in "My Struggle with Doom Scrolling"

digest — Thu, 23 Jan 2025 10:57:37 +0000

I built an app (https://usedigest.com) for this exact reason, I couldn't stop with the doom scrolling. I wasn't particularly looking for anything either, just swiping and swiping... constantly reaching for my phone even when I'd just stop to pee for 30 seconds I'd find myself taking out my phone and swiping. The app I built aggregates content from all the sources I was looking at and just sends me a daily summary. I've been able cut way down on this addiction.

We have an X (Twitter) option that does not rely on RSS. I think Nitter is dead anyway?

So this is why I built Digest (https://usedigest.com) -- the algorithms have stopped showing things of interest (my entire Instagram feed is full of memes instead of my friends posts), or things that cause you to doom scroll. We use RSS wherever we can to fetch data from sources to build your personalized digest, but if there is an API available we will use that too.

digest — Fri, 13 Dec 2024 15:44:42 +0000

I built Digest, which allows you to create a personalized daily digest containing all of the content you already read. Add content sources like Reddit, Google Calendar, Instagram, X, TikTok, Stripe, Hacker News, Weather, YouTube, Product Hunt, RSS, Google News, Stocks, Crypto and more. Content is summarized from sources using AI. Each day (week or month) you will get a newsletter containing updates from all of the sources that you added to your digest. I also recently added a newsletter reader to it, so you can get an email address that you use to signup to all newsletters with, and then Digest becomes your newsletter reader (and even emails you a list of all your new newsletters). https://usedigest.com

It is, Mailbrew ended up selling years ago and they stopped working on the product as far as I know. We're rolling out new features weekly and adding more sources and integrations. We're also going to be moving into B2B instead of just only targeting B2C with personal newsletters.

Working on https://usedigest.com, a tool to curate content from any source into a daily email. No this is not just grabbing RSS feeds, we're using tons of APIs to fetch data wherever we can. The goal is to replace the mindless scrolling we all do on a daily basis and try to help people become more productive without the fear of missing out. You can consume the daily email, or read it on the web as we generate a direct link to your digest each day. Here is an example: https://app.usedigest.com/digests/share/b40cd659-bce5-4a38-9...

Show HN: I built a newsletter reader to declutter your inbox

digest — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 20:53:52 +0000

With the rise of substack, beehiiv and many other newsletter platforms, it seems like everyone is launching newsletters nowadays. I personally subscribe to 10+ but hardly find the time to read them amongst my other emails. I built a newsletter reader that forwards all of your newsletters to Digest, and removes them from your inbox. You can also get a daily email that contains a list of all the newsletters you've received, and pick and choose which ones you want to read.
