RogueX's comments
In my experience, people simply don't care. If the headline is juicy enough and is something they very much want to be true, they share it and reshare it on social media without bothering to examine the source, much less the content. Worse, a lot of these people have a distrust of "mainstream media" and professional journalists. They seem to have this notion that all journalists are part of some global media conspiracy to just make stuff up (though no one seems to know what the actual motives are for this supposed conspiracy), so they trust some dimwit blogging from his mom's basement who claims he has "inside sources" that no major media organization has. That's what we're dealing with here in the U.S.
RogueX | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: What simple tools or products are you most proud of making?
I use Flipboard for my news and RSS feeds, but really hate how Flipboard forces every feed you add into separate "magazines." I like all of my news in one magazine, all my tech news in another, etc. Fed up with it, I whipped up a Django-based app that lets me create collections of feeds and then outputs them into single RSS feeds in a Flipboard-friendly format. I can add and remove feeds in a collection from a simple web interface and see the results in my Flipboard app. It's not one of my most amazing creations, but it scratches a really big annoying itch and works great.

Todoist. I've used Remember the Milk, Toodledo, Wunderlist and probably a few others that I've forgotten and have come back to Todoist. It's a simple, clean, flexible interface that does what I need. I had high hopes for Wunderlist but gave up in frustration.

Just some observations:
Bootstrap uses LESS. Not everyone is a fan.
Bootstrap has more features and, in my opinion, nicer buttons and alerts.
Foundation is built to be responsive and to work great with mobile and tablet devices.
