Experimenting with my first @surf feed— A collection of people writing indie tech news or making indie tech (with a general bias toward the Apple ecosystem).

I’m sure I’m forgetting people, who else should I add??

@hiro You might be interested in this Surf feed I created a few weeks ago. :)

@hiro @surf This is cool! Do we need an invite code or just wait?

@runlevelrobot @surf It seems like they’re getting people from the waitlist into the testflight fairly quickly!

@hiro @surf that's a manually curated list, right?

Wish I could just add my whole following feed. Otherwise it's just another list to manage.

And while I like the concept of Surf, I'm not a fan of the "one page" per entry setup. I much rather have a compact feed to scroll through.

@kimberly very nice! It's based on that tag? Or manually curated?

@gobino @surf So there are options to see your following feed, or you can manually curate, or follow others’ curations, or build smart feeds that pull things based on specific topics of your choosing. You can also do things like build a feed of people but only show you their posts that pertain to Photography, etc. It’s pretty clever.

No idea if there are plans to make a scrollable list viewing format or not.

@gobino I just based it on the tag. I suspect I’m missing some (many?) of the posts though due to the way the fediverse works. I should probably go look for the contributors and add them (while keeping the tag) so the list is more complete.

@hiro Yea, the filtering etc I did already find, however, the following feed not yet 🙃

I'm still testing with it, but so far it's not "sticking".
