  • Nice! I feel like sites with cookie popups deserve to be penalised. How do you know if a page is good or bad - time spent on it?

  • Feedback: doesn’t work here. Swiping barely works on an iPhone 11. Swiping with one hand with the left thumb on the left part of the screen does not work at all. Swiping in the horizontal center from right to left can take some time and sometimes does two swipes. If I swipe back I might swipe back in safari and land on hacker news again. Hope this helps, would like to try :)

  • How are the pages loading so quickly. On every swipe I expect next page to take its time to load, but these pages are loading like images.

  • PS: If you have a blog/site you want people to see - bottom right corner the three dots -> Submit a link. An almost instant way to get eyes on your page.

  • It's tough to make the swipe interface work for content that is so varied in presentation. It works for Tinder, TikTok, and even WikiTok because the content has a consistent form. With this, you have to reorient yourself after every swipe.

  • Reminds me of the Wander network from Susam Pal (https://www.susam.net). His console is at https://susam.net/wander/ and my own instantiation is on https://www.heyhomepage.com/wander/ I didn't look at it for some weeks and now that I did it seemed to have grown more!

    I like the swiping UI from Swurf though. Being shown just one at a time is calming. I did the same thing for my RSS feed reader... it just randomly picks one post from one feed at a time, from thousands of feed sources.

  • Very cool, this reminds me of Kagi's Small Web:
