Haha bro, I came up with the same idea that I need just simple LLM-filter with my own criteria to find something interesting. You can check it there: knoless.vercel.app. Maybe you can give me some advice :)

The feeds and recommendation algorithms are the real time-eaters for me. The things I tried: - chrome extensions: unhook, stayfocusd, news feed eradicator - deleted youtube watch history and forbid to collect data for recommendations, which effectively disabled yt shorts - grayscale display for my phone - switching from news aggregators and social apps with recommendations to basic RSS feeds

But even I consume information now only from my carefully curated subscriptions I realized I still need to filter out most of the articles. E.g https://news.ycombinator.com/best has ~20 articles per day and this is only one RSS source. So, I just LLM-filter them.

They probably didn't realize why they needed multiple apps to communicate inside the company. I was in a situation where we had slack for communication between teams, email for corporate stuff similar you described, zoom for calls, personal messengers like WA for communicating with people in the company who didn't have slack, SMS/phone calls for alerts and various on-call staff. Total nonsense. No surprise I missed something.

True. I quit reading most of my subscriptions way before AI. Ironicall, now when we have AI, I can filter out the slop using my criteria for "gems". Recently vibe-coded some simple UI for this, would appreciate if you can try this: knoless.app
