throwww.com might be a good alternative. No curation by editors. Recommended articles to come based on algorithms and not circle jerks. Full disclosure: I built it.

Hey, I'm the creator of Throwww. Sorry this is totally my bad. It's a result of a known bug, but recently I took my MBP to Applecare and they accidentally wiped my entire drive (long story). So before I can fix it, there's a bunch of dev en

From what I can tell, it went from above the fold on the first page to nowhere to be found on the first five pages (haven't checked beyond that) almost instantaneously. How does that happen?

When I launched http://throwww.com a while ago, people on HN/Twitter were telling me it's like Branch. I didn't know what Branch exactly was then, and now that I see it, I still don't get what it is. It doesn't seem at all like throwww th

Nice. Though, I agree with others that an explanation would kind of be helpful. Also since you're going with the minimalist approach, maybe make everything a bit bigger? Are you just searching within a subset of domains? If so, may I shamel
