  • Clean, lightweight design and nice minimal version.

    • Variety! I appreciate that it's not all tech writing from tech blogs from people in tech like almost every blog list/aggregator thing on HN.

Objections

    • I see the footer, then it disappears - (next scroll kicks in) - see foot, disappears, repeat.. (desktop, firefox) It's time we bring back webrings and optional auto-check for…

    • Nice job. A small suggestion, unless I completely missed it, an option to filter by post / blog language.

    • I love it. I'd love a search bar and maybe a means to sort by popularity (however you define it.) I like that it's free and clean and direct; I hope it remains that way!

Questions

  • How are blogs curated and is the list pruned for inactivity?

    From 1 comment
    • Love this! I very much appreciate the inclusion of a lightweight version, as I think lightweight discovery for blogs and the small web is where good tools and apps are needed.…

  • Is the feed strictly chronological or algorithmic?

    From 1 comment
    • Question, is this strictly chronological, or is there anything at all to make this an "algorithmic feed" like HN, reddit, twitter, or facebook? (list is roughly in the order of…
