Show HN: PaperDelivery – fetch articles from your Twitter feed

  • Creator here. PaperDelivery grew out of my frustration with Twitter. I found myself relying on Twitter to follow a particular research community, but realized that I do not care about the actual tweets/threads - all I wanted was the link to the underlying paper/article. I also did not like how often I got sucked into reading an opinion thread (often political), and I walk away (30 minutes later) thinking "do people really believe those things?". All I really want out of Twitter is some sort of personalized hacker news, and this is my attempt at creating it.

  • Great idea! Was using it without realizing how new the product is.

    What happened to it? The website/service seems to be down?

  • Nice. One minor thing: After you sign up, it tells you to check back in a while. Not sure people will remember that for long enough for there to be something there when they check back. Maybe something like "check back in a while or enable RSS" would work. With "enable RSS" being underlined and clickable.

  • News websites are asking if I'm a robot instead of showing the headlines.Is it common? https://postimg.cc/47xNhT1g

  • This is a cool project. Some months ago I also started consuming feeds in an async way by creating a daily personal newsletter with all my favorite creators and news sources (using mailbrew.com). I’m spending a lot less time doom scrolling because of this.

  • Would be great if this works for Lists too, instead of the home feed.

  • I just manually add the best ones to my custom RSS feed for reading - https://reading.ashishb.net

  • Interesting, did you follow Twitter's recent acquisition of Scroll? They might be moving into this space themselves.

  • Nuzzel reincarnated?. I was a heavy user of it and really miss it.

  • Site appears to be losing the battle with the Hug Of Death...
