Hexbrief turns high-signal company engineering blogs into six daily structured briefs on systems, tradeoffs, and decisions.
how does it decide which blogs count as high signal, and do i get any say in adding or removing sources from my feed?
@ece1085096 Hey Ece — Thanks!
Right now, articles are filtered using a strict quality gate — real engineering problems, technical depth, tradeoffs, results, and lessons learned. Promotional or low-signal posts are filtered out. I myself have been a tech blog reader, and I was able to derive some parameters to judge an article on their basis. Purely using my experience.
Also, per-user source controls are not available yet, but they are on my roadmap. In future release, I would love to let users follow, mute, or suggest sources over time.
A weekly digest mode would be great for catching up on weekends without missing anything from the daily briefs.
@t_ktas84785 That would be a great addition, Şevket. Thanks for the quick suggestion. 🙌
Tried it on a couple of Stripe and Cloudflare posts and the six-brief format actually makes the dense architecture writeups way easier to digest in the morning. The tradeoffs section is the standout for me.
@serdar948359 Thank you Serdar — this feedback genuinely made my morning. The tradeoffs section is the part I sweat the most, so I'm really glad that's your standout.
Would you be up for me featuring this as a testimonial on the Hexbrief site? Totally fine if not😀.
