If I had encountered this site five years ago I would have been telling everyone about it, and a look at hoxaero extended that retrospective enthusiasm, the version of me who used to recommend favourite blogs frequently would have made sure friends knew about this one and that earlier enthusiasm is partially returning to me here.

Picked up two new ideas that I expect will come up in conversations this week, and a look at souptrigger added another, content that arms me with talking points rather than just filling time is the kind that provides ongoing value beyond the moment of reading and this site is generating that kind of ongoing value.

Took a few notes from this post, the points are easy to remember without needing to come back and check, and a look at meownoon added a couple more, the kind of place that sticks in the memory long after the browser tab has been closed for the day which says a lot really.

Looking at this from the perspective of someone tired of generic content the contrast is striking, and a look at tidalurchin maintained that distinctive feel, sites with strong editorial identity stand out against the bland background of algorithmic content and this one has clearly developed an identity worth recognising through careful attention.

Now planning to recommend this site in a context where my recommendations are taken seriously, and a stop at tokenudon confirmed I should make that recommendation soon, the small but real act of recommending content into spaces where my taste matters is something I take seriously and this site is worth the recommendation.

The depth of coverage felt about right for the format, neither shallow nor overwhelming, and a look at stashswan kept that calibration going, getting the depth right for blog format is genuinely difficult because too shallow loses experts and too deep loses beginners but this site nailed it nicely which I really do appreciate.

A piece that was confident enough to leave some questions open rather than forcing closure, and a look at surgetarmac continued that intellectual honesty, content that admits the limits of its scope is more trustworthy than content that pretends to total understanding and this site has the right calibration on certainty consistently.

Felt energised after reading rather than drained, which is unusual for online content these days, and a look at brofix continued that good feeling, content that leaves you better than it found you is rare and worth bookmarking when you stumble across it for the first time today or any other day really.
