🔗 Bubbles

I'm not sure how I feel about Bubbles. Bubbles is an attempt to take a Hacker News approach to new blog posts. I could see how this could be great exposure for blogs, but I also see how this could be just another popularity contest for bloggers who write clickbait/rants that they know will get views (i.e most blog specific discovery feeds that rely on upvotes).

I'll be watching this site with curiosity and hoping for the best. We can always use new ways to discover more human created content.

4.15.2026 Update:

Ben from Bubbles reached out and shed a little light on his methods to keep Bubbles a fair discovery site that I could have learned myself had I took the time to properly read his About page and FAQ. 😂 That’s totally on me.

From his email, I feel more confident that Bubbles could really work and hearing his enthusiasm for the project was reassuring. I’m rooting for Bubbles.
