HyperTexting Makes the Entire Web a Social Feed for Your Doomscrolling Pleasure
HyperTexting is a new app that allows users to aggregate content from RSS feeds into a social-media-style timeline, bypassing algorithmic curation. The app aims to provide a cleaner, user-controlled alternative to traditional social media feeds.
