Minimal Hacker News: A Simple Way to Stay Informed
Minimal Hacker News is a Chrome add-on developed by Brian Plunkett that provides a minimalistic approach to staying updated with the latest news on Hacker News. Inspired by the idea of reducing decision fatigue, this app presents a curated list of the 10 most popular stories from Hacker News over the last 24 hours.
Unlike other news applications that bombard users with an overwhelming amount of information, Minimal Hacker News aims to keep distractions to a minimum. The list is automatically refreshed every 30 minutes, ensuring that you have the latest updates without constantly checking for changes.
While this app won't magically prevent you from getting lost in the endless sea of articles, it does help by limiting the number of new items that catch your attention. By presenting a static list, Minimal Hacker News allows you to quickly scan the headlines and get back to work, minimizing the time spent on non-essential browsing.
With its simplicity and focus on productivity, Minimal Hacker News is a valuable tool for those who want to stay informed without getting overwhelmed.
