#22Something like this is very much needed. I hope to see more things like this. What would be really cool is if there was a personalized algorithm (for you page) that stored data and processed locally.
Thank you. I wanted to mostly stay away from algorithmic feed to stay true to RSS. On the non-minimal version of the site, you can sign up and follow blogs to have a "For You" tab, but it's still recent posts from blogs you follow.
Instead or in addition to following blogs, what I'd love to have is a way to filter out those I don't like.

#23Great work, I haven't updated my public site in years while I waited for the LLM stuff to play out, but you've inspired me to put it back out there and submit.

#24This is great. I'm curious what's your vision on adding comments?
If you're referring to comments on the website, I plan to keep it minimal (the text version is a static site). If you're referring to comments on blogs in general, I have many thoughts. Back in the day, comments used to be how you connected with people and let other people find you. It also came with spam (spam plugins could only do so much). With the rise of static site generators, most people don't have comments on…
I haven’t had comments on my blog for over a decade now and I don’t miss them. For every useful and informative comment I got several spammy or rude reply. Anyone who wants to let me know something about my blog can message me on social media.
I’ve seen blogs that do not host comments themselves but instead automatically surface social media (usually mastodon) comments which I think is a useful technique.

#25Very cool! This was a good impetus to actually add RSS to my blog.

Its chronological - most recently published first (no algorithm or voting).

#29Yeah we need to make curated human signals stronger.

#30Incredible that we are regressing back to webrings and hand-curated lists like this, both of which I remember well. That's not a criticism! I guess that the quality-drop in search wasn't quite enough to make it happen, but the advent of AI content predomination will be.
I wouldn't even call this a regression. Hand curated and edited feels like the future I want right now.
