More recently there was a bit of discussion about it here as well https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23096578 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23096578 Out of frustration of not seeing a lot of good blog posts that are submitted everyday on HN. I built a newsletter which gather all (EDIT : a lot of ) the personal blog posts which didnt reach the front page in a newsletter https://hnblogs.substack.com/ https://hnblogs.substack.com/ (that's curated manually every day from /newest)

From what I understand it's not every blog post, it looks to be still curated by you. Which is totally understandable, as otherwise there'd be way too many links in the email. Your newsletter helps (and I subscribe to it and am a fan), but I'd still say overall this is an unsolved problem on the modern web.

  Yeah you are right, I edited my comment. It is not all of them. But I do think it is at least 50% of them. I apply an auto filter on the full list of links, and then I curate manually. In both the auto and the manual part some links are missed. (Thank you for reading the newsletter)

    Nice list. Are you upvoting them too? (One of them have only 1 point.) [Small nitpick: You should add a space between the title of each post and the URL.]

      > Are you upvoting them too ? No I don't, upvoting doesnt really make sense when the post is older than 1 hour. > You should add a space between the title of each post and the URL. Fixed it! I didnt know if it annoyed anyone

        In spite it doesn't make too much sense, if you like the post an upvote is nice for the submitter. Also an additional vote may be useful to highlight it to the mods that cherrypick some post and they have a second chance to be shown in the front page for a small time.
