One thing I noticed since Special Sauce became the standard sort order, at first it seemed like there was a lot of variability -- I'd see a different assortment of websites every time I checked -- but now a few months later it feels like it's settled on the same 30 or 40 sites, just shuffling them around based on who updated most recently

of course still much better than the old default of sorting by follower count

the upside of special sauce is that those sites only stay up there because they are very active, if they stop updating constantly they'll drop out of the top pretty quickly. the old follower count sort had many long abandoned sites that stayed at the top forever since they steadily gained followers merely from being the most visible, and at a rate that was hard for newcomers to outpace

I think the text on your sort by hits url has a typo (says featured instead) but the link itself works!

Excellent summaries. I rofl'd quite a bit.

idk if this entire nonfiction page is new, but i've never read it before, and i love it. i don't really read books and this stuff is very fascinating to me. you are a good writer too

Incredible site design. In particular I like your short book review structure. Another thing that caught my attention is how you hide your e-mail from bots. Your book trade offer is an incredible idea with a spicy touch of unknown outcome feeling attached to it.

the nonfiction page is new, though it's been in the works for months

(but... AREN'T you into pokemon? competitively bred pokemon that is) anyway, incredible post, congratulations on pushing through the inertia

the return of some 黒歴史...

no that post where i mentioned competitive pokemon was about how i quit it like 8 years ago...
