Show HN: Bhread – Feed powered social media for threaded blogs

1 point

2 years ago

Hi, HN. One day I wondered what would happen if my blog had a 'shorts' page, like Youtube shorts or Instagram reels. I made it, and thought, this is just like Twitter without the replies. This is my attempt to connect blogs, even static ones, using RSS/Atom feeds in the hopes to make a social media powered by personal websites.

Just put your feed URL, and submit. We'll scan it for new posts and display them. New posts containing the text "replying to " followed by a link will become a reply to the link, making a thread.

This is a project I started last August. It's written in Django/HTMX.
