It may not 'scale' as well as algorithmic feeds, but maybe that's what will save the Web. We need more sweat and passion, both in curation of content and in the effort to find it.

#92Very clean site, well done. I’ve built something similar, but it also has an algorithmic front page option as well based on the “standard” algorithm from Reddit/HN: https://engineered.at I also have it wired up to gpt nano for topic extraction and summary creation per post, if you register for an account (free) you can also follow sources and topics to fine tune things. I have a big list of features to continue addin…
The lists are impenetrable for my eye, I think an key mistake is that you don't use an accent color for titles in lists (i.e. look at a google serp).
That you don't directly link the content, felt like an offense, followed by a slap in the face looking at an AI generated summary.
The layout feels too reddit and too industrialized and the way you plan to progress the project, rings my "pet project to slam ad's on" bells.
I think the pure intent of OPs site naturally makes it more approachable and likeable.

#94Any plans on adding a way to filter out "lower quality" posts which usually dominate chronologically sorted post lists? And, possibly a way to filter type of content more in-depth than just one category?
No plans to add a filter for "lower quality" since that takes away from the ethos of RSS. Certainly looking to add more ways to filter. Open to ideas.
I think "low quality" content has it's place. A lot of my favourite blogs back in the day could be considered "low quality", but for whatever reason I liked them and read their stuff... Same was true of my own blog. It wasn't particularly high quality but back then even a lowish quality blog would still occasionally be surfaced on Google if the right key words were searched for.
I miss this about modern YouTube too... I used to love watching content from small creators even if their content was "lower quality", but it's so hard to discover that type of content today.
Everywhere you go there is an algorithm pushing you towards larger and more professional creators. And that can be fine, but it's nice to have some balance.

#95Great concept, I miss the ability to like things though.
