Show HN: A link/news aggregator I am working on Hello HN, I'm building omegapedia.com, a link/news aggregator that combines features of multiple other sites. I started building this site because I often found some features lacking in other websites. As example: You can format you text to be italic, red, blue or to be a spoiler. Comments are not threaded and don't include any voting feature. Omegapedia uses upvotes and downvotes for posts but shows them as separate numbers. I styled the page in darkmode but added an optional lightmode as well. I added "Trust-Points" and a leaderboard to show the 5 users with the most points. Other noteworthy features are: -Comment replies. -Flairs. -Adding a bio to your profile. -Mention users in comments. -Ability to add a email address to your account. -Forgot-my-password function. -Link posts. There is no need to add a email andress to your account and you will never be forced to. The site works on pc and mobile. The site is very lightweight because there are no CSS or JavaScript libaries that will have to be downloaded first. There are multiple ways to sort the posts and a way to show the recent comments so you can join a current discussion anytime. There is no register barrier and you will be automatically logged in a muted guest account. I am very interested in feedback and if you have any questions or comments please let me know, thank you! ======== Join me on omegapedia! https://ift.tt/QG6zyYS https://ift.tt/Ecanu24 August 5, 2022 at 10:55PM

Adeline “Addy” Svendsen was founding editor of Muni’s first internal newsletter, “ Trolley Topics .” Adeline Svendsen sits at her desk in the Geneva Carhouse office building in this 1949 shot. Trolley Topics was a new venture when it started in February 1946. As Svendsen wrote in the first issue it was created, “to bring a little fun, a little news, and a lot of good will to all our fellow employees in the Railway.” Just two years prior in 1944, Muni merged with the Market Street Railway Company, expanding the small municipal operation into the largest transit provider in the city with hundreds of employees, vehicles of every shape and size, and dozens of facilities scattered across town. The newsletter was meant to help unite ...
