Big fan of this trend, well done!

Personally this kind of thing is just always gonna be self hosted or local only, but I see the appeal for folks who don't have that option

Brief off-topic greybeard cloud yell: I hate that we've all adopted the colloquial use of "algorithm".

Although it's interesting to imagine whether software is even possible with "no algorithm" :)

Thank you very much! Yeah, I agree. In fact, even Jottings started as something I built for my own use as a stand-alone site that I used to host. Made it into a production for others to use only after someone of my friends asked me for a similar site. I used to feed my post (or Jots) data to my build system through a json file that I updated to add new jots.

I hope that the appeal is real for a good bunch of folks.

Haha! You gave me a chuckle! And a totally fair yell! :) Valid CS philosophical musings aside, may be I should be a bit more specific to something like "personalized feed ranking".
