> Discovery of good sources of information such as blogs is hard. And I think the biggest problem is the lack of trust. Everyone wants to grab your attention [1]. So how do you know that others won't waste your attention? > To solve this problem I am building https://linklonk.com https://linklonk.com that cultivates trust as you rate content. When you upvote a link you connect stronger to the feed that posted it (which could be a blog's feed) and to other users that upvoted this link before you. When you downvote - your connections to those who upvoted become weaker. > The strength of your connections to other feeds and users represents how useful their content recommendations have been to you in the past and they could be used as a measure of how likely their future recommendations will be worth your time (ie, trust that they won't waste your time). > The content is ranked according to the connection weights - so you get information from the sources that have shown to be content curators for you. > I did a Show HN recently for this project that has more details: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28405643 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28405643 > [1] - like my comment here tries to draw your attention to my hobby project. I find this so interesting. OP complains about people constantly trying to sell him something which is why he was turned off of blogs. And what happens? Someone tries to sell him something for his problem of too much selling. Ah. What a world. Solution to too much selling is more selling.
