I like the direction you're going!

> * Items can be sorted chronologically or with an ML-powered recommender system.

It doesn't seem to be active right now. What is a realistic timeline for that to happen?

Other things I would like to see -

- Auto-tagging (gpt-powered?)and filter by tags

- Voting, for the recommender system, and as another metric of popularity

- Optional social aspect. Follow other users, maybe even add comments. (if I comment on an item from someone else's feed, maybe he can get a notification?)

I'll be happy to share more ideas if you like. Good luck!

I love these ideas -- keep 'em coming!

The algorithmic sort is there, it's just a little hidden (and rudimentary, for the current MVP). Go to settings and check the box for "Algorithmically sort items".

Actually, a question - for the tags idea, what kind of tags are you thinking? I can imagine a lot of different directions, do you have any specific examples in mind?
True, I can also imagine different directions.

I think it could be useful to have several categories of tag

- topics: science, art, politics, etc.

- purpose: news, opinion, explanation, introduction, humor, etc. (for example, anything from producthunt.com is introduction)

- format: text, audio, video

I think it's good to have wide coverage, because it means much better filtering/sorting, both for manual and automatic.
