I got so fed up with popups, ads, and AI spam that I built a cleaner way to consume and discover content

I've been saying that the internet has become unusable for a while now. The majority of times I open a newsfeed, my screen is 70% ads/banners/popups and 30% content. Then I open reddit and I get an insane amount of spam posts, stuff I don't care about, and the AI spam I'm sure we're familiar about. The rest, I tab hop.

Eventually, I decided to fix my own pain and build Oku.io, a better, cleaner way to consume and discover content.

On oku you can create boards with the feeds you're interested in: Blogs, ProductHunt, HackerNews, YouTube, Reddit, and a lot more. Either in a grid view to see everything at once, in a focus view to see the feeds one by one, or with a daily/weekly email digest if you are not interested in actively monitoring it.

As I've been building it, I've also been actively using it and I am extremely happy with how it turned out. I spend way less time hopping between different tabs and I feel like I have a much more clear view over the content I'm interest in both for work and for personal interests.

Supporting sources and widgets at launch: HackerNews (Front, Show and Ask), ProductHunt, RSS feeds, Curated Latest News, Google Trends, TrustMRR, Crypto & Stocks, Website Watch (Monitor a website's section), Newsletters (Get a custom inbox you can read in your board), Reddit, Polymarket, Youtube.

Feature list:

• In-app reader: read articles without popups, banners and ads.

• Grid & Focus view: monitor all your content at ocne in a customizable grid, or by focusing on single feeds.

• Digest: Get a daily or weekly digest with top content from all your sources.

• Smart summaries for YouTube videos (with timestamps), Reddit posts (With comments analysis), Articles.

• Highlights & Notes: Save sections of any article or reddit post.
