HackerQueue

Your favorite tech sites compiled down to topics you find interesting.

Scrapes HackerNews, Lobste.rs, and /r/programming and then compiles them into a searchable and viewable source.

F.A.Q.

Q. Why did we create this?

A. HackerQueue was created because it gets annoying to go to more than one site for news, especially when you like to read a lot.

Q. Why does HackerQueue only display these three sites?

A. HackerQueue is currently purposed for news about Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Networking, and their cultures. The direction I wish for it to take may change in the future though.

Q. Will HackerQueue ever support posts?

A. If enough users are accumulated.

Q. What if I want more sites to be added?

A. Please create an issue report and mark it as an enhancement. I will look into it. If the site is related to Comp Sci/Comp Eng/ Networking or their cultures I will probably add it when I get free time.
