Link aggregator features not good
“I Really Love linkhut but (its link aggregators features are a little not so good)”
Comment from 1 Apr 2026 in “Show HN: Hutch – Read the web, not the slop” Too much going on
“personally I think there's a bit too much going on, sensory overload”
Comment from 7 Mar 2026 in “Boy I was wrong about the Fediverse” Less automated than expected
“It sounds really good - though obviously less automated than what I had in mind.”
Comment from 7 Mar 2026 in “Boy I was wrong about the Fediverse” SaaS overkill for simple lists
“Why should I use a whole SaaS to manage a single page list of links?”
