Most of the best writing was *not* created in the past year. Yet our feeds are dominated by the past 24 hours. Read Something Wonderful is an antidote to recency bias, an access point to writing that has stood the test of time.

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Ben, one of the co-founders of the reading app Matter. We started Matter because what we read has a profound impact on how we see the world. One of the weird things about the internet is its extreme recency bias. Most of what we get served is from the past 24 hours - even though most of the best writing is much older than that. We're stuck in a cycle of ephemeral content consumption, what David Perell calls the "Never-Ending Now." In the three years of building Matter, we've come across so many timeless blog posts and essays, some of them quite obscure, surfaced by our wonderful community of readers. It's been a real treasure trove for us. We want to share that treasure with the world. So today, we're excited to launch Read Something Wonderful - a site dedicated to timeless internet writing. A big thank you to the folks who shared their favorites for this project: David Perell, Tamara Winter, Devon Zuegel, Kevin Kelly, Byrne Hobart, Adam Grant, Anna Gat, Calvin French-Owen, Nadia Asparouhova, Jason Crawford, Sam Bowman, Andy Matuschak, Craig Mod, David King, Katherine Boyle, Molly Mielke, Erik Torenberg, Dom Cooke, John Luttig, Brie Wolfson, Dan Shipper, Nathan Bashez, Dwarkesh Patel.

Congrats on the launch! I truly love the idea; it helped me spend this morning reading and not in a doom scrolling. I was just wondering, from this enormous amount of articles posted in the last 20 years, how do you decide what is “Something Wonderful”?

Really awesome idea and product! I love the scrolling aspect. It's exciting as you scroll because you know you are bound to come across something interesting that you didn't know you had to read before that very second.
