I love that blogging is taking off a bit again, and I think this trend will last.

I built BoredReading.com a few years ago because I enjoy reading but hate having to curate my own feeds, so this is a done for you kinda app.

People attend meetings for job security, not to accomplish an agenda.

Being seen as important, is important.

You can't solve this without true ownership, and employees aren't owners.

I've been curating some of the last few personal blogs in one place for a couple years now (http://boredreading.com).

It always makes me happy to see more people bring back blogging. I hate that everything is on platforms like substack, and would much rather see a million wordpress or ghost installs.

and https://boredreading.com/

Found this on Boredreading.com which is an interesting way to discover new blogs!

Registering is free though. People use their email to signup for newsletters all the time. So I feel like it's a fair ask to signup to read some really high quality curated articles with an unparalleled reading experience.

It's funny, you (the user, and everyone else that commented about registering) say it's not worth your time registering, but if you look at it from my perspective, it's not worth putting in all this effort for someone who isn't willing to even register for free, let alone pay for the service that cost months to build.

The articles update every hour, so please check back again. The articles are from blogs that were deemed high quality, but even high quality blogs can churn out filler content. But in general, I think you'll always find one or two really interesting things to read at any given time, if not on the homepage, then on the blogs you follow.

FYI: Don't forget to try the keyboard shortcuts!

Hey HN, maker here. It was a serious 4-6 months of effort to build this. I have never poured as much love, attention and detail into a project before. So I really appreciate you having a looksie!

The homepage has a fresh list of articles every hour and is open to all. Still, I recommend signing up so you can add stuff to your reading list and follow blogs.

My initial plan was to monetize this with subtle ads, but that didn't work out as the traffic to the site isn't nearly enough for that. That said, I have a fair bit invested in this and I need your help figuring out a way to make this sustainability profitable. If this was yours, what bits would you charge for? Are there any features I could add to a "pro" subscription?

Appreciate any help and support!
