😆 . It's a real problem though. So is prioritization. Algorithms aren't bad, dark patterns are. The main issue with any algorithm, even if fully open, it, by definition, has to be biased in some way. I'm going to save this problem for much further down the road, but for discovery, I took the first step on that.

I broke out the package that does the feed discovery in tuvix and publish it separately. Now you can use it as a chrome plugin to add a subscribe page to any website. It is currently pending review on the Chrome web store. I haven't yet submitted to Firefox or others.
Ya. I'm working on that too. And trying to keep in the spirit of not being biased or heavy on algorithms.
My first step - A chrome/firefox extension. This is currently in review on the web store. This exposes RSS feeds on sites you visit to make it easier to subscribe to the places you already visit. This is especially great when you find a great blog on Reddit or Hacker News. https://github.com/TechSquidTV/Tuvix-Tricorder-Extension
