Hello, I've used to rely on HN to discover new blogs, but recently I feel like a lot of content is just news article and very often several time the same news which reach the front page (even though still a lot of blog posts become popular). This has already been discussed here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23093990 in case you are interested. This is disappointing for me because there are still a lot of people who submit quality blog posts every day on HN and those content are just mixed long all the other posts and most of them never reach the front page.

So every day I go through all the links posted the current day on HN and keep only the non commercial blog posts, (and I removed the ones that reached the front page) there are not that many of them, about a dozen every day, and I build an article listing all those links.

(Note that some blog posts can end up being popular on HN after I created the daily article)

Feel free to subscribe, this is on substack but this is completely free. Somehow a substack blog is very quick to create, even if I hate their product.

You might like http://news.ycombinator.com/classic which uses an older ranking algorithm that (IMO) delivers more interesting news

I had no clue that was a thing and been here for years, that algo is far better.

I also wish, all those "special URLs" were documented somewhere. There are quite a few of those.

Didn't know about "classic" either!

I listed some non-discoverable URLs here: https://gist.github.com/jakub-g/803ad2c074ad1fbe2af5

Happy to discover more - please put comments here or on the gist.
