What's inside.

The essentials for reading the web carefully — nothing you didn't ask for.

01 · Reader

A three-pane reader.

Folders left, items middle, the piece itself right. Press J and K through your day.

02 · Narratives

See how stories spread.

We cluster the same story across the feeds you follow. One headline, many angles, all in one place.

03 · OPML

Bring your own feeds.

Import your reading list from anywhere. Export it whenever you like. No lock-in, forever.

A small manifesto.

The web got loud.
We made a place to read it quietly.
No engagement bait.
Just the people you've decided to listen to.
— the house, 2026

People who read a lot.

A few words from readers, unsolicited.

"An RSS reader that doesn't try to become something else. Fifty feeds from a text file, an hour of reading. That should not feel radical in 2026."

@craigmod · April 11, 2026

"Reminds me of when the internet was a place you visited, on purpose, with intention."

@julia_evans · April 9, 2026

"Keyboard shortcuts. No notifications. I'm not going back."

"Finally a reader for people who still read, and a webring for people who still write."

Pricing, plainly.

Free to read. A small fee to get fancier. No trials, no credit card to start.
