Show HN: Bare is a Google Reader for tweets that look like blog posts I first submitted BARE here about a year ago. Since then, a lot of people signed up for our tiny side project. Enough to say that it is well past breaking even! We tried many ideas, and ultimately settled on the simple design and the RSS output by default. It is incredible how many people still use RSS nowadays. Thanks to all of you! Below is the original Show HN post from last year: BARE grew out of the idea to reduce one's Twitter timeline to bare tweets - blog-post-like writings devoid of media, links, hashtags, or any social interaction mechanics. Once you sign up with BARE, it will continuously check your Twitter timeline and only show you the long-form text-based tweets in it. Like a good old blog reader. But why do that, you may ask? What's the point? Because, we believe that this is one of the easiest ways to discover people's true personality, beneath the chatter and social media clickbait. It is also a naturally distraction-free method to keep oneself concentrated over the content without the urge to skim and keep scrolling down. One of the easiest ways to evoke concentration is to reduce the sources of distraction. Is anybody actually writing such tweets? A lot of people. Check the tiny portion we follow here: https://bare.tw/ and discover the ones in your timeline by signing up. https://bare.tw October 4, 2022 at 08:25PM
