Most require creating accounts, sync through remote servers, track reading behavior, or push algorithmic feeds into your face. On top of that, standard Chrome New Tab pages are often cluttered or underutilized.</p> <p>The Solution:<br> I wanted a clean, instant, and privacy-respecting alternative, so I built Huminn as a Chrome extension. It transforms your New Tab into a local-first RSS dashboard.</p> <p>Why Local-First?</p> <p>Your feeds and reading history stay on your local device (IndexedDB / Chrome Storage).</p> <p>Zero account creation, zero backend tracking, zero cloud dependencies.</p> <p>Includes integrated browser AI features to digest long articles right in your browser.</p> <p>I'm building this in public and focusing on making personal content curation fast, private, and distraction-free.</p> <p>I'd really appreciate your feedback! How do you currently organize your daily reading list, and what would you like to see added to Huminn?</p> <p>Check it out at: <a href="https://gethuminn.com/en/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://gethuminn.com/en/</a></p> showdev ai webdev chromeextension
