Show HN: Ponder – the best articles and essays on the internet

https://www.readponder.com/
3•wingdiction•1h ago
Hello HN,

I love to read articles, but I have trouble finding the bangers that really make you think.

I want to be able to organize a huge database of articles and filter it by category then order it by quality to find the best ones worth my time. There's iMDb for film, Goodreads for books, AOTY for albums but nothing for articles and essays. That was the idea, and I've got it up and running.

Where it's at honestly: ~500 articles cataloged, a small handful of active users, and very few ratings yet. It's early. I'm a solo builder and I'm hoping to find other people who find the website useful and have the same passion that I do for good longform. It is a user-fed database, so it needs a few more people before it will start to thrive.

What I'd love feedback on:

-Yes, I used AI to generate the website code. Is this a turn-off? Is it obvious? -Would you use a website like this to keep a log or find good reads? -Are there any articles that you've read that you still think about?

The thing with news is how fresh it is and with AI you can make it very personal. So I would add a layer of personalization and maybe reference picks by people that are similar to the user

love this idea. it will rely on having a larger user base to draw from, so I'll put this one on the back burner
