In plain English

BestBlogs is an AI-driven content aggregation and reading platform at bestblogs.dev. It pulls in over 1,000 articles, podcasts, videos, and social posts per day from more than 600 sources, then uses a large language model to score, summarize, and tag each piece before surfacing it to readers. The platform is aimed primarily at people who want to keep up with software engineering, artificial intelligence, product design, and technology business topics without having to sort through a constant flood of content manually. The AI analysis scores each item across six dimensions: topic selection, content quality, depth, practical usefulness, originality, and writing quality. Alongside the scores, it generates a summary, highlights key points, and extracts notable quotes. Content is handled in both Chinese and English, with automatic detection and translation of the analysis results regardless of the original language. Readers can set interest tags across six categories, and the platform uses those to send a personalized daily digest. The digest is available as text, audio, or email. A free tier gives access to all public content, while a Pro subscription unlocks unlimited reading, a personalized feed, and deeper analysis features. The platform had over 13,000 registered users at the time the readme was written. For developers and AI agent workflows, BestBlogs provides a command-line tool and a v2 API. The CLI lets you authenticate with an API key, browse the day's top content, read articles in full, and save bookmarks. There is also a set of skill files designed to let AI coding tools like Claude Code or Cursor trigger BestBlogs features through natural-language commands, such as asking what is worth reading today. The repository also includes RSS feed URLs covering the whole site, curated content only, and category-specific slices, along with OPML files listing the 400+ original sources that BestBlogs monitors.
