Show HN: Site I made to find independent tech articles that may not be trending

Any feedback would be awesome! Thanks
The only nit so far is that it updates and reflows the page constantly so when I click the story is changing out from under my cursor.
I see, do you mean while you're searching? The search is performed after a timeout whenever a key is pressed in the input box. Maybe forcing an enter press or button click to update would make the experience better?
I spent the time to find ~700 independent blogs of people who are publishing content related to software dev / making products in tech. This is done ~80/20 automatically and manually.
From there it's a lot of web scraping magic and managing the submission of new blogs to the data source. (Verifying quality etc) I'm happy to provide more info if anyone is interested. Or to discuss ideas for features that you all would appreciate!
This is really just an MVP, I wanted to get the project out there to get some initial feedback before I start building more. Tagging, filtering, ordering etc are definitely in the road map along with other features!
To get the data is a bit of a different story, but it's a collection of scripts written in nodejs / golang for retrieval, cleaning the data etc.
Hope that helps!
