Comment on Tuvix - Self-Hosted RSS Aggregator
TechSquidTV@lemmy.world 1 day agoWhile super fair and accurate, I take this as an opportunity to follow much smaller blogs. When I find a good post on Hacker News or stumble upon someone through my research, I now actively make a point to subscribe to their RSS.
TBH my original motive was to find good sources of content to submit to Hacker News… but all the same.

lol I started to reply, suggesting a recommendation feature to help find non-algorithmic tech feeds but then realized that’s exactly how all this started.

😆 . It’s a real problem though. So is prioritization. Algorithms aren’t bad, dark patterns are. The main issue with any algorithm, even if fully open, it, by definition, has to be biased in some way. I’m going to save this problem for much further down the road, but for discovery, I took the first step on that.

I broke out the package that does the feed discovery in tuvix and publish it separately. Now you can use it as a chrome plugin to add a subscribe page to any website. It is currently pending review on the Chrome web store. I haven’t yet submitted to Firefox or others.
