I had the same problem of finding interesting blogs to read, so made a side project - https://www.discoverdev.io https://www.discoverdev.io
Curated and tagged list of top engineering blog articles everyday! Do check it out :)
- mrleinad 9y agoLooks like a really nice project, but since you've been running it for a month now, I'd recommend switching to a weekly post. Otherwise, I think you might get burned or start skipping some days. Weekly is much more manageable in the long run.
- deepakkarki 9y agoMost of it is automated - I just do a final quality check. Takes about half an hour a day. Ideal case is to automate it completely via ML. It's just that it's hard to create a model that can tell a good blogpost from a spammy one. So as of now little bit of manual intervention is required.
- deepakkarki 9y agoFor example it took me about 15 min to publish the links today. Just done, have a look :)
- dchuk 9y agoHow are you handling the tagging on this? By hand, 3rd party service, algorithm?
- deepakkarki 9y agoMost of it is automated using some basic ML foo. you can read our about page for more info. All posts go through manual quality check and retagging if necessary!
- dchuk 9y agoVery cool!
- micael_dias 9y agoAdvice: probably someone visiting will be interested in a few tags only so a filter by tag would be useful.
- deepakkarki 9y agoHey, Thanks for the advise! This was in the pipeline, but wasn't sure that the app itself would be useful to people (and was hence reconsidering working any further on it). But it looks like it is something people seem to be liking, so I think I'll go ahead and do that :)
- harigov 9y agoI love the idea but the design needs some work. If you can also display a quick summary and time to read an article, that would improve our reading efficiency quite a bit. That, and of course, dark design.
- deepakkarki 9y agoThank you for the feedback! By a dark design, do you mean like a toggle of sorts - b/w a white dominant and a dark dominant UI? Or completely switch to a dark UI?
- harigov 9y agoYeah, even a toggle works. But the design, in general, doesn't look appealing to my eyes. You can have a very plain design, which neither attracts nor distracts, but if you have a design that is distracting, it's hard to take it seriously.
- AlbertoGP 9y agoI would propose something like this to start with: https://demo.sentido-labs.com/proposal/discoverdev/ https://demo.sentido-labs.com/proposal/discoverdev/ That's just a .dark class in the body tag: <body class="dark" onload="document.querySelector('.dark-switch > input').onchange()"> ...a switch at the top right: <label class="dark-switch"><input type="checkbox" checked onchange="document.body.classList[this.checked?'add':'remove']('dark')"/> dark</label> ...and a bit of CSS: https://demo.sentido-labs.com/proposal/discoverdev/dark.css https://demo.sentido-labs.com/proposal/discoverdev/dark.css I also find the yellow-on-white links in your Twitter theme difficult to read.
- deepakkarki 9y agoOh wow! super cool :) Thank you for putting in the work for the demo! Really appreciate it.
