What’s the best way to regularly consume content like this?

In the last year, I became unglued from RSS, and something like Twitter is not the right medium for me. But, this is “active” art I’d like to check in on every day.



Since the URLs are just a function of the date, it should be easy to automate this with something like cron or iOS shortcuts, and have it send an email or similar with the URL to you each day. You can auto-filter the emails into a specific folder, so you have one email folder per „subscription“. That way you can see if/how many are unread.


Warning, those urls are not y2.1k safe!


I'd love an iOS homescreen widget that shows them every day! I have one for the Wikipedia picture of the day that I enjoy.

I'm seriously considering making one if there isn't one already...


I just finished V1 of https://wd.gt/ and was thinking of doing a ShowHN today. Basically it's RSS for widgets. You define some json and host it and then you have a dynamic, web-powered widget with no additional app required besides a generic viewer. Rendering these images would be a perfect fit for widget.json.

Edit: Posted a ShowHN here with more details https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33777705


Love it! Thanks for sharing. I'll check that out later.
