Out of curiosity: "great reads" sounds kinda like a proper name / title (it's a plural being used as a singular), are these from lists-of-"great reads" / a layout for some datasource that has "great reads", or just a (large!) collection of things you've found over time?

Or am I just over-thinking that "s"?

Either way, this looks great. Randomly clicking a few entries finds stuff I wish I had found years earlier. Thanks a ton for sharing! I'll have to poke around more :)

> just a (large!) collection of things you've found over time

This one is to the point. So, the collection was exported from my Pocket account. Whenever I find any interesting blogs, I save it there (with tags so that I can find them easily). The oldest entry dates back to 2017 and over time, I have accumulated about 700-ish articles.

Here's the backstory: https://twitter.com/nottherealpac/status/1545803998854205441

Hope this clarifies :)

I think I've got a couple thousand things in Pocket and Pinboard, though probably less organized and filters than yours seems to be... turning that into a graph for sharing makes quite a lot of sense, I like that idea. Relatively low effort too.

Anyway, thanks again! This looks like a lot of good stuff, it's clearly years of effort and I'm very glad you shared.

I’d say it’s a kind of idiomatic phrase (?) — “great reads” where a “read” is a “thing to read” (like one could use “read” in “comfort read”). In other words:

"That book was a really fun read."

"That author is always a good read."

> read (noun)

> something (such as a book) that is read

I think it is just a typo.
