Out of curiosity: "great reads" sounds kinda like a proper name / title (it's a plural being used as a singular), are these from lists-of-"great reads" / a layout for some datasource that has "great reads", or just a (large!) collection of things you've found over time? Or am I just over-thinking that "s"? Either way, this looks great. Randomly clicking a few entries finds stuff I wish I had found years earlier. Thanks a ton for sharing! I'll have to poke around more :)

I’d say it’s a kind of idiomatic phrase (?) — “great reads” where a “read” is a “thing to read” (like one could use “read” in “comfort read”). In other words: language

I think it is just a typo.

> just a (large!) collection of things you've found over time This one is to the point. So, the collection was exported from my Pocket account. Whenever I find any interesting blogs, I save it there (with tags so that I can find them easily). The oldest entry dates back to 2017 and over time, I have accumulated about 700-ish articles. Here's the backstory: https://twitter.com/nottherealpac/status/1545803998854205441 https://twitter.com/nottherealpac/status/1545803998854205441 Hope this clarifies :)

  I think I've got a couple thousand things in Pocket and Pinboard, though probably less organized and filters than yours seems to be... turning that into a graph for sharing makes quite a lot of sense, I like that idea. Relatively low effort too. Anyway, thanks again! This looks like a lot of good stuff, it's clearly years of effort and I'm very glad you shared.
