HyperTexting Launches RSS-Based Feed App, Rebuilding Timelines Without Ads or Algorithms

Summary
HyperTexting debuted as a social-style feed app that lets users rebuild timelines from RSS sources instead of relying on algorithmic ranking, ads or AI-generated content.
RSS feeds from news outlets, independent journalists, creators and podcasters appear in a reverse-chronological timeline, with newer posts first and outlet-specific pages functioning like social profiles.
A Safari extension lets users add sites directly as they browse, while an Explore tab surfaces trending content beyond their chosen feeds.
Built by Caleb Hailey, a 20-year tech veteran and RSS advocate, the app repackages an older web standard in a familiar scrolling format aimed at restoring user control over what they see.
