forum.nunosempere.com is a frontend for the Effective Altruism Forum. It aims to present EA Forum posts in a way which I personally find soothing. It achieves that that goal at the cost of restricted functionality—like not being able to make or upvote comments and posts.
Usage

Clicking on an article’s or on a comment’s timestamp directs to their location on the original EA Forum. This is useful, for example, to go to the original forum to leave a comment.
My usecase is just being subscribed via rss (using newsboat), and displaying forum posts which interest me in this new frontend.

My usecase is just being subscribed via rss (using newsboat), and displaying forum posts which interest me in this new frontend.

This frontend takes around half a second to load. The regular EA Forum takes around 5 seconds.
