Though, it kind of works that you keep adding blogs and blogs, until it turns out that RSS feed is mess. Maybe no clickbaits or ads, but still density of posts I want to read goes down.
Do you know any good solution, where there is collaborative filtering or RSS (bonus points for open, tweakable algorithm) + some AI with custom prompt to give me top recommendations?
Something where I am in the charge of the algorithm, not the other way around.
I don't mean this to sound snarky, but if a blog doesn't have a good ratio of signal to noise, you just unsubscribe from the feed.
The solution is to be okay with missing some things instead of trying to drink from the firehose.
Maybe it is one way to go.
But I had a similar though with newspapers. There are quite a few I like. Yet, there are more articles in one that I can read - especially when I want to have other sources as well. So yeah, if there were only a handful of good blogs, it would be the case. But there is a long tail of interesting stuff there.
Anyway, even for the Hacker News, I would like to filter a bit, so to have feed like the hackernewsletter (which I like a lot), but profiled more to my tastes.
I am thiking of adding an algorithm to my reader, but I am still not sure how. For collaborative filtering you need a lot of user to have enough data on small niche blogs.
This is like taking responsibility then claiming you don't really want it.
