@bentossell Added you as a writer, see https://refind.com/i/following/w...
@bentossell @rrhoover Sign up with @ProductHunt too so we can feature your Medium posts https://medium.com/@producthunt on Refind.
Welcome, Product Hunters!
One year ago we launched Refind here on Product Hunt. Refind is a community of hipsters, hackers, and hustlers who discover, save, and read what’s really worth their attention. Refind is growing and today we’re launching Refind for Writers, an opportunity for writers to reach our community.
HOW IT WORKS
- Users follow people and interests to get today’s top links in their feed.
- Now they can also follow their favorite writers.
- Writers publish their content on their site: on their Medium, WordPress blog, or whatever.
- Their links get imported automatically via Twitter.
- Writers and their links get featured and recommended to matching users.
- Users read, save, and share the stories on Twitter and Facebook.
WHO’S ALREADY ON BOARD
- People like Ryan Hoover @rrhoover, Chris Messina @chrismessina, Nir Eyal @nireyal, Dan Ariely @danariely, Rand Fishkin @randfish, Hiten Shah @hnshah, John Battelle @johnbattelle, M.G. Siegler @mgsiegler, Werner Vogels @Werner, Tobias van Schneider @vanschneider, Gabriel Weinberg @yegg, Christoph Janz @chrija, etc.
- Publications like The Next Web, Quartz, Buffer, Moz, NewCo, NZZ, etc.
- Here’s the full list: https://refind.com/i/following/w...

@dominikg The link for the full list of writers isn't working. Where can I find it? Ps. it's WordPress with a capital P.
@swissspidy Thanks, fixed. Full list is here: https://refind.com/i/following/w...
@dominikg @refind Hi Dom, been using Refind for a few months now and quite keen to start utilising it for my own content that I typically publish to Medium and other sites. I have a series of tongue in cheek posts/articles that I tend to do once a quarter on the "state" of marketing under a pseudonym within various digital professional circles.
In regards to the kind of articles you're looking to feature is it all serious help you're looking for or does the humorous fluff have a home there too?
I tend to bundle one or two actual tips in there in where I call out the bad tips and advice that you typically get from those trying to jump on the buzzword bandwagon. Long question short, is that kind of content welcome there too?
@shortformernie Sure! Can you quickly fill in https://refind.com/writer/access so we have the correct URL etc. Thanks!
I've been super impressed by @dominkg's relentless pace of execution on Refind.
He and I have a casual collaboration going back to the start of Refind, and he keeps surprising me with great ideas and approaches to the problem of surfacing the best stuff to read from across the web, making it easy and practical to consume it (i.e. with Read Soon), and then making it easy to rediscover these links when you're looking for them (i.e. by integrating into Google Search results with the Refind Chrome extension).
Now he's providing features to give writers the chance to reach the Refind audience, aggregating their best content (i.e. that which is worthy of being promoted on Twitter) and surfacing it to their Refind followers. It's a smart and more personal answer to Pocket's more general interest-based discovery feature.

I setup Refind to discover latest content on specific keywords. But unfortunately, its not showing the latest articles but showed me articles that were published back in 2016. And that's of no use. You guys need to bring in the publishing dates of the content someway. Its necessary for me as a marketer to not only read the latest but I will only share the most recent content.
@invinciblesaad Try a search alerts for your keywords: https://medium.com/@refind/intro...
I think I reached out to you guys a while ago about the This shutdown. I don't know if it was intentional, but this is a good replacement for that.
(Side note: You guys should consider an Opera version of the Refind New Tab plugin. I switched from Chrome to Opera due to battery life concerns, and I had to sadly give that up even though I really liked that.)
Signing up as a writer right away. Have loved Refind till now, can't wait to see how this iteration evolves. Cheers!
I'll admit I haven't continued to use reader apps beyond the week I signed up for them, but Refind has a slight twist that gets me excited. It has a more direct connection to writers, just like Product Hunt has a direct connection to makers. Requested my writer badge!
@kunalslab Great to hear! Hope you'll stick around for a very long time. :)
I am a big fan of Refind (→ https://medium.com/niklausgerber...) I think it is great to see how the product evolves. If anyone needs free invites bit.ly/2kdLmF0
Signed up to be a writer. 😊
Here's our blog: [blog.yalabot.com]
What's your criteria for choosing writers?
@yoavanaki Wanted to add you as a writer but looks like you haven't signed up with @yalabot yet? Can you sign up here: https://refind.com/dominikg/invi... Ping me once done and I'll feature you as a writer.
I've never heard of this product before but after just signing up it looks super slick and polished. The Pocket app sits on my home screen, but you are right, read later becomes read never! Really looking forward to checking this out and seeing if its helps me consume more of the best content I usually miss... 😎
@thetwopct That's great to hear! So I assume you've seen https://medium.com/@refind/why-r... ? That's really important to us.
@dominikg great read, explains it all perfectly and I think it makes lots of sense! Glad to now be a part of it!
@seekristintweet Sure, done! You should auto-import your links from Twitter so they get featured when you publish: https://refind.com/i/import Also, can you please verify your email, see https://refind.com/settings#account
