Love the concept.

One slight improvement that would push me to actually bookmark a site like this is if, rather than merely listing _entire blogs_, it listed a feed of the most recent _posts_ from the various blogs.

Posts are the level of abstraction that directly aligns with our reading habits. (Similar story for podcasts: give me an episode feed, not a podcast feed.) Twitter and other social media giants have cracked this code well.

OP here! Great point. Right now each blog just shows the #1 trending post, but it could definitely also pull recent articles by RSS feed. Thanks Channing!

I like the concept but the curation would have to be done ruthlessly by experts, otherwise you'll get the same SEO optimized garbage we find on google. To see Machine Learning Mastery at the top doesn't inspire confidence in your curation process. It's a blog that's emblematic to me of low quality content pumped out for SEO purposes.

I love this! Sometimes it's hard to find articles by individuals about dev topics, especially more niche topics, because it's hard for them to rise above Stack Overflow, Medium, etc. in search results. But I find that individual/independent blogs are often far higher quality and do a better job explaining concepts.

thanks for your feedback (OP here). yeah it's tough, i try to give anyone a chance to rank who has more than just a few posts.

what I didn't expect about that site is that it gets shared A LOT on twitter. still trying to refine the algorithm :)

thanks a ton for checking it out and sharing your feedback!

(OP) thanks for checking it out! it was definitely cool (but also surprisingly hard) to discover so many independent blogs by making this project. i'm glad you like it.
