HyperTexting tests a social feed with no ads, algorithms, or AI slop
Gizmodo’s product story points to a bigger design question: what if discovery belongs to the open web, not the platform feed?

- Treat RSS and personal websites as current product primitives, not old web nostalgia.
- Watch anti algorithmic apps for interface ideas that reduce dependence on centralized discovery.
