<p>I've been doing something similar with <a href="https://greatreads.dev/" rel="nofollow">https://greatreads.dev/</a>.<p>It's mostly focused on tech-related blogs, though. A place to find good articles from fellow developers.<p>There are some extra features on top of it. Like semantic search, remixing rss feeds into a single one are some of my favorites.</p>

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

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>Still working on <a href="https://greatreads.dev/" rel="nofollow">https://greatreads.dev/</a><p>Essentially, a platform to access articles from developer blogs.<p>I've been slowly adding new sources to the website. Any suggestions would be great.<p>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?</p>
