Your morning feed, without the doomscroll.
HackerNews, GitHub Trending, Dev.to, Reddit, Product Hunt, Lobsters, and nine more — aggregated in one widget on your new tab. Filter by topic, arrange by column, drag tabs to reorder, plug in your own RSS.
The good stuff, already wired up.
No RSS hunting. Sparkly ships with 13+ carefully chosen sources that cover engineering culture, shipped projects, weekend reads, and launches. Each tab is color-coded and reorderable — drag the one you check first into pole position.
- HackerNews — top, new, show, ask. Filter to your comfort.
- GitHub Trending — daily, weekly, by language.
- Dev.to · Lobsters · Reddit (programming, rust, react…)
- Product Hunt · IndieHackers — what shipped, what got traction.
Tune out the noise, amplify your stack.
Every source has a per-tab topic chip row — AI, React, Rust, DevOps, Design, Security, and more. Click to filter in, shift-click to exclude. Your filter preferences are remembered per source, so HackerNews can be "AI only" while Reddit is "everything except crypto."
- Keyword-based — titles + tags scanned per item.
- Persists per tab — filters survive page reloads.
- Mix and match — combine multiple topics with OR logic.
Your own blogs, your own news.
Got a personal reading list? Paste any RSS / Atom URL into a new tab. Sparkly parses it locally (no proxy, no middleman), caches responses, and adds the tab right alongside the built-ins with the same filters and column modes.
- Any feed — RSS 2.0, Atom, JSON feed.
- Local-only — fetch happens in your browser; feeds never go through us.
- Drag-reorder — custom tabs mix with built-ins.
Built for the morning coffee
Questions
How often do feeds refresh?
Feeds cache for 15 minutes by default, with a manual refresh button on every tab. Custom RSS respects the feed's ttl hint when provided.
Does Sparkly scrape or proxy feeds through its own servers?
No. All fetches happen in your browser via the host_permissions grant. Sparkly has no backend.
Can I disable the widget without losing my custom feeds?
Yes. Settings → Widgets → hide Feed Hub. Your feed tabs, filters, and reorders stay saved.
