HyperTexting is a social news feed, powered by the open social web. Follow your favorite feeds, including traditional news outlets, independent journalists, content creators, podcasts, video streams, and much more. Join the discourse by posting to your feed—an actual website—easier than posting on social media, with hyperlinks, @mentions, #hashtags, photos, videos, podcasts, and even PDFs.
So far my favorite feature has been the safari plugin. As I browse it discovers RSS feeds that I wouldn’t have otherwise thought of looking up. Then when I enter the HyperTexting app, I have a way to quickly browse and follow feeds of sites I discovered while searching for answers to a question/problem that interests me. Very simple way to sort of build your own algorithm since it’s following the things you’re interested in while off the app.
The app we all need

I don’t normally write reviews but this app is pretty cool! If only every media app on my phone could show me the content I asked for without all the extra junk. Really loving HyperTexting. Easy to use without much of a learning curve.
WHAT'S NEW
==========
SUBSCRIBER
* Fixed several bugs in the feed sync process that would cause the app to crash when it would get suspended in the background
* NEW: Join the Discourse! The old post response action is now two buttons: Reply or Comment. If a feed publishes a contact email address, or if a post has a mailto: comments URL, it will be used for the reply button. If a post has any other valid comments URL, it will be used for the comments button.
* NEW: Profile Contact tab! Websites can publish contact cards that auto-populate in HyperTexting and other apps that support them.
* NEW: Profile About tab! Websites can publish about.md files that auto-populate in HyperTexting and other apps that support them.
* NEW: DMs! HyperTexting DMs are powered by Profile Contacts. DMs are available for any profile with an email address, iMessage address, Signal URL, or WhatsApp URL.
* NEW: iOS Contacts Provider. Visit the Timeline → Settings → Contacts to make HyperTexting Contacts available system-wide.
NOTE: HyperTexting uses write-only access to Contacts, it does NOT read your existing contact data.
* Added support for HTTP feeds and website content (via App Transport Security policy exemption; all publishing features require HTTPS)
* Added support for reposting links! Tap the quote post icon on any post to open the composer with a link to the original post.
PUBLISHING
