User reviews


I was one of those people who fell into the habit of opening Reddit mindlessly to kill a few minutes and was looking for something to block it. What I got was SO much better. Do you remember Stumble Upon? Trying to "open" reddit is now basically stumble upon, with long form blogs on how to do things like set up a closet server to notify you when you non-IoT laundry is done washing your clothes. It's like I got the old internet back!
