Users love it
“It’s not a feed reader, it’s a serendipity machine.”
AI Engineer & Computational Biologist
“It finds exactly what I was meaning to look for before I searched for it”
Clinical Psychology Researcher
“Just became the fifth person to star this new JavaScript state management library on Github. For the first time since the Stumbleupon days I feel like I’m right on the pulse of things. Thanks, Scour! 🖖”
Open-Source Technologist
“arXiv helps me stay on top of new papers in my field, but it’s way way too much. Scour curates it for me so I don’t just get a dump of everything. It also helps me find insightful posts from niche personal websites I would never find otherwise. I’ve replaced doom scrolling with scrolling on Scour.”
PhD Student, UCL
“I love my Friday scour emails”
Head of School
“It’s like a grep, but smart, for my feeds.”
Programmer
“I was mainly just confused there was no AI video slop when I opened the feed”
Startup Cofounder
“Scour and minifeed are 100X better than Instagram and X”
Blogger
“I can just as easily say that I am interested in ‘AI use in investment banking’ as I can ‘weeknotes’, ‘internet culture’ or anything else I can think of. … It’s very cool, and a great use of AI.”
Technology Leader in Financial Services
“scour.ing has gotten pretty good at surfacing what new stuff I actually want to read on the internet, better than following subreddits. It surfaces small personal blogs particularly well.”
Database Engineer
“I read Hacker News daily, but somehow Scour keeps finding gems that I've missed. I use Feedly and have about 250 feeds, but rarely anything good pops up. I created an account on Scour and immediately found a lot of good stuff. From then on, I get the weekly e-mail digest, and it is usually full of goodies. Just wanted to pop by and say thanks for Scour. I love it.”
