If this is a solution to the "not enough links that I personally like" - kudos to the author. Nice to find a fun project to work on that will also solve a problem for them. I personally despise recommendation / personalization algorithms of any kind. I still have never found one that's actually better than myself at distinguishing articles that I'd like to read, music that I want to listen to, tweets I'd like to see, etc. When reading HN, I'm constantly surprised by links that would not normally be on my radar for things I'm interested in. I think personalization algos, in general, are good at filtering those away. Since the author mentioned HN being too much of a firehose and this then also being a solution to the "too many links to keep up to date on" problem, the solution might be a bit simpler than the author suggested. HN already has the "best" links at https://news.ycombinator.com/best https://news.ycombinator.com/best It's hard to find - it's in the 'Lists' section in the footer, but it's still there and I use it all the time, when I haven't been actively reading HN for a while.
