I agree with the core point. I’d add that modern marketing isn’t really aiming for heterogeneity, but for eventually producing behaviorally homogeneous user clusters.Many product and tech choices today are about shaping user behavior so users become more predictable and therefore more monetizable. During this transition phase, the system tolerates (or creates) heterogeneity, but at the cost of complexity, friction, and inefficiency, which are mostly pushed onto users. In that sense, this is less about “the future” and more about engineering markets through data, with trade-offs that are rarely made explicit

Hey everyone I'm Angelo — I built HN Pulse because I read Hacker News every day and often miss good discussions while I’m coding or in meetings.

I wanted something super lightweight that just lives in the menu bar and quietly notifies me when stories are actually worth checking out — based on score, comments, or keywords.

Everything runs locally (no data leaves your machine). It uses the official Hacker News Firebase API and is built with Electron + JavaScript.

So far I’ve tested it only on macOS (universal build). Windows and Linux versions are generated but not yet tested — I’d really appreciate feedback if you try them!

Would love to hear your thoughts, ideas, or bug reports

When I switched from linux to mac it was just for the hardware, at time I bought a ibook g4 the most beautifull laptop that I have had, the battery in 2006 has a duration around 9 hours of coding. Recently when I think to back to linux the only my worries is the system update and the fact that I cannot test or compile any iOS app.
