Swurf is a new tool that lets users swipe through the real web one page after another. It learns what you like and avoids showing the same page twice, aiming to surface high-quality blog posts, random topic rabbit holes, and trending or interesting sites that the average person would never otherwise load in their browser.
The project began as a personal tool for finding new things to learn and read about. Its creator says that hours spent scrolling on a phone are increasingly losing their sense of reward, and that swurfing feels refreshing by comparison. The app currently requires no accounts, so users can start browsing immediately. A three-dot menu at the bottom right lets people submit links, save links, control adult content, and search similar topics.
Swurf works somewhat like a group browsing session, though it is entirely private. Everyone exploring their own interests helps refine the feed for each other, with recommendations stay within each user's own set of interests.
The creator invites Hacker News readers to try the app, share feedback, and ask questions, noting there is plenty of room for the project to grow. The original post on Hacker News had 17 points and 3 comments at the time of publication.
