Like, I don't want to hear about the Steam Machine's price, registration date, or launch date 8 hours after the news comes out. I want to hear about it instantly! I want to be woken up. I want an Android App that subscribes to a webhook, runs in the background, and sounds an alarm when there's news. You know, like an Amber Alert but for Steam hardware.

Any of you nerds want to help design this?

I'm imagining not just the API, but also a front-end website where trusted users (admins and volunteers) can ring the bell when real news comes out by posting a link. Whether it's an announcement about the price, or even an announcement that that announcement will be soon. Any real news from Valve.

Yes, I'm stoned, but my idea is brilliant nonetheless! This is totally worth the effort. If no one wants to help, maybe I'll vibe code it. I know Lemmy loves that!

For real, though, are there any existing services I could use besides opening Lemmy every hour?

Any recommendations on rss readers? Do I "need" to self host an aggregator or is that just if I want it cross device? Have yet to use rss and these questions were surprisingly difficult to find with a search

I just installed Read You from F-Droid.

I think self-hosting an aggregator lets you keep a cross-platform record of what you've read and what not. You mostly just need an app.
