Hi HN,

I'm the developer behind 0xFeed.

I reached a breaking point with my daily reading routine. I realized I was spending more time filtering out "Top 10 Libraries" listicles, disguised marketing, and SEO spam on LinkedIn/Google than actually reading deep engineering content.

So, I built this aggregator to scratch my own itch.

How it works:

Ingestion: Pulls from ~30 high-quality engineering blogs (Netflix, Uber, AWS, etc.).

Analysis: Runs every article through GPT-4o with a strict system prompt.

Scoring: Assigns a 0.0 - 10.0 Relevance Score.

It penalizes: "Hello World" tutorials, PR/Hiring announcements, clickbait titles.

It rewards: Architecture deep dives, post-mortems, and code-heavy content.

Current Status (Beta): The core filtering engine is live. The frontend hides low-score articles by default. I'm currently tuning the prompt to avoid false negatives (blocking good content) and false positives (letting fluff through).

I need your feedback:

Is the "Terminal" aesthetic usable or too much?

Do you see any high-quality articles being unfairly filtered out?

The project is free to use. No paywall.

Thanks for checking it out.
