that is already what i'm doing pretty much. i accept blog submissions and try to look for signs of quality, and then monitor for mentions of their sites. as you suggested though, i didn't know the ML space enough to know that Mach

hey! OP here. are you talking about my site? I don't have a single affiliate link on my website. not sure about the sites linked, but i reject sites that are low quality and filled with aggressive ads!

Haha thanks! (OP here) I'm using a combination of the Twitter API, RSS, and Puppeteer to put the data together. RSS is nice but not always complete, and some blogs don't have it :) Glad you enjoy it, and yes, the goal is to make i

OP here, I know what you mean. I found it similarly irritating while sourcing the data that all the top 10 google results recycled the same, outdated recommendations. Do you mean you'd like a central place to discover individual's

That's a cool idea! Adding an "advanced search" is something I've been thinking about. Gives people more control over their personal "algorithm" and what they value most when reading personal blogs. Hadn't

OP here, thanks for the suggestion! Yeah it's kinda meant to be like its own mini site. But if you click the logo at the top, it does take you to the root homepage :) Adding a light mode is on the backlog, thanks for the suggestion! I

OP here, I'm glad you liked it! I definitely discovered a lot of interesting people blogging while sourcing the data. Hope you find something cool inside :)

(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.

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 th

thanks for point this out! just accepted a bunch of pending submissions :)

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!

Hey there! OP. Yes, that's exactly my point -- that in fact reaching this point has been a six-month effort. I didn't post on HN myself, and therefore did not choose the title either. Anyways, thanks for pointing that out and I&#x

Hey there! I get the skepticism, though I should also point out...I didn't post this topic on Hacker News. So I never intended it to be here, just trying to answer some questions as I get that people from HN have way less context about

I actually pay the experts who do the workshops or sessions :) All part of valuing the work.

Hey there, OP here - yes, that's true. If it's helpful or somehow relevant since you brought up Twitter followers, I started with about 9K when I launched the newsletter. Wrote about that process here, though maybe you've see

OP here, thanks for your comment! I also don't see it as competition. People will join if they think it's valuable, they'll leave if they don't. You can also be part of multiple communities if you think it's worth i

Hey there! Thanks for your feedback, that's really interesting because most people have told me they like the conversational style of my writing. No worries if you're not into it, just curious what felt "infomercially" t

Hey there! OP here. Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm trying this "build in public" thing which is more transparent than feels natural to most people. Who knows where it'll go, but I think it's cool and useful to see

Totally know what you mean! When I was researching the rankings, I found so many lists that are clearly made by people who are literally just googling other lists and copy/pasting them. The results so far are pretty cool and, in my opi

Haha that's totally a fair feedback, I know what you mean about those people who e.g. make more money teaching you to "be an entrepreneur" than ever doing it themselves. If you're wondering, the community is a private fo

Thanks so much for sharing your experience, Tim :) I'm really glad that you like the tone (for which I can obviously thank the members). I still have a lot to learn, but excited about what's next for sure!

Totally agree, it can be a game-changer if you invest in it. Thanks for reading my post :)

Just started reading this and it's refreshing to see a highly practical take on resumes, written by people who actually read and make decisions on them. As a former hiring manager, I've found myself nodding my head A LOT so far.
