We do a bit of the first 2. The third we never considered.

That's a great idea.

Hey, who are those people?

We’re indexing new people every single day and I can try to bump them up the queue!

For now, but we're trying to not be! Who are some folks you think we should add? I'd be happy to get them indexed.

Thanks! Agreed — and simple enough for us to fix. :)

Hey this is great feedback. We should definitely make it easier to come up with names and suggest more folks for you to subscribe to based off of topics

Well that's a fair point!

We're trying pretty hard to not come off as professional stalkers while still building something useful :)

we sincerely hope you get that car of yours!

Yup that's exactly right. Alerts are only sent out when original content is released.

Mentioned this in the earlier reply but you'll soon be able to do conditional alerts as well.

Some Examples:

- "Notify me when Elon talks about battery prices"

- "Notify me when Stéphane Bancel (Moderna CEO) talks about Delta Variant"

- "Notify me when Gladwell releases a new a book." :)

Who are some people you think we should add? We're looking to add more people every day :)

It actually works! I've found Google Alerts to be extremely noisy and alert me for content about certain people.

Alias only notifies you if the person actually participated/appeared on it vs. being covered.

We're also deeply indexing folks and their content so you'll be able to do conditional alerts.

Example: "Notify only me when Elon talks about battery prices" or "Notify me when Stéphane Bancel (Moderna CEO) talks about Delta Variant".

Hope that makes sense!

Appreciate the feedback here /u/xena —

So we make sure to only aggregate publicly available information that the creator released and never include pieces about them or from someone else. We also make sure not to aggregate any gated/paywalled content.

The problem with having every creator opt-in is that that we'd never be able to launch the profiles because there are so many creators. But maybe we could have an opt-out? We actually have the ability for creators to claim their profiles as well and make changes/edits. So in theory, a creator that doesn't want to be indexed could hide all the content on their profile.

Does that address the concern? open to any other ideas you might have!

hey thanks! Nothing special just plain old CSS. :)

As far as our overall stack — we've been pretty happy with NextJS/TypeScript on the frontend and Hasura to power the backend. We use a combination of Vercel and Heroku for hosting!

Ah, thanks for the heads up. Our scripts still mess up the dates sometimes. It's harder than you'd think to pull dates from papers.

Just fixed. Thank you!
