Hacker News is mostly anything tech related. That are links from news websites, github projects and etc.
My project is just for reading individual blog posts from fellow developers. There is also a lot of filtering capabilities as well.

Working on https://greatreads.dev/ A place to aggregate and find articles from developers' blogs.
Always on the look for new sources to be added. If you have a blog or read any that you want to recommend. Just let me know.

Working on https://greatreads.dev/ A place to aggregate and find articles from developers' blogs. Right now, I'm building a submission form for people to submit new sources.
There is also a way to search for articles using vectors, it's called "Semantic Search". So basically you can ask, for example, "Postgresql and how to best optimize it." and it would search for articles touching that subject, or at least related to it.
Wondering about the best way I can add a weekly newsletter built on top of the content currently being ingested, and still looking for more sources to add to the database (let me know if you have any good recommendations).

I'm using a Postgres database. So when articles are ingested, I use the Gemini Embedding model (they have a great free tier) and save that in a vector column that is used later to do the search.

It’s honestly a bit of a pain. I’m using a library to help parse different formats, but there are many custom cases to handle. Dates are a good example. I’m parsing more than a dozen formats, and there’s no real pattern in how sites display their published dates. Some blogs even use unusual formats that aren’t common anywhere else.
I try to avoid altering the original content as much as possible. I do need to sanitize and adjust parts of it to produce clean text on my site, but I’m careful not to change anything in a way that misrepresents the source. Only a few short phrases appear on GreatReads, and users cannot read the full article without visiting the original source.

Good catch, something is definitely not right there. I'll take a look.

I've been slowly adding new sources to the website. Any suggestions would be great. It has about 300 sources at the moment.

That's pretty cool. I also have a "random article" button at the top right, which is very fun to use. I've discovered a lot of great content by clicking on that button.

Still working on https://greatreads.dev/
Essentially, a platform to access articles from developer blogs.

I'm considering adding a feature that allows searching using vectors. Basically, you could search for something like "How to make sure your PostgreSQL database is configured correctly". And it would return the closest articles using vector search compared to your query. Is this something that sounds interesting?

Hi Blake,
Yes, the form to submit blogs is one of those last-mile polish that I need to work on.
I've added your blog as a source. Very cool concept.

I've been building a website to find great blog posts related to the programming/tech world called https://greatreads.dev/
There are a lot of things that I still want to polish, but it's in a usable state already, and I'm very happy with it.
If someone takes a look and has any suggestions, feedback, or ideas, they are all welcome.
Also, any suggestions for blogs that could be added as sources is appreciated.

Could you elaborate a bit on how that works? Does it need any changes in how you use Claude?
It's mostly focused on tech-related blogs, though. A place to find good articles from fellow developers.
There are some extra features on top of it. Like semantic search, remixing rss feeds into a single one are some of my favorites.
