The feed never ends.
Every morning we wake up to a fresh batch of AI-generated listicles, keyword-stuffed “ultimate guides,” and 2,000-word explanations that never answer the question you typed into Google. The noise is so loud we’ve started to mistake it for signal.
I launched LinkCircle because I was tired of hunting for signal.
LinkCircle is a small, editorial platform where real website owners publish original, helpful articles—no ghost-written fluff, no SEO Mad Libs, no “we inserted the keyword 47 times so you don’t have to.” Every piece is reviewed by a human editor (hi, that’s me) before it goes live, and every author has to prove they actually own the site they’re talking about. The result is a living library of insights you can trust, written by people who’ve skin in the game.
Think of it as the anti-feed:
One article per day, max.
Verified authors only.
Zero tolerance for regurgitated ChatGPT slop.
If you’re a reader, you can follow topics you care about—bootstrapping, UX, indie hacking, climate tech, whatever—and discover under-the-radar blogs that still feel like they were written in someone’s bedroom at 2 a.m. with the lights low and coffee going cold.
If you’re a website owner, you can apply for a free author account and put your best post in front of people who actually read, not just skim for bullet points.
We’re still small (a few hundred authors, a few thousand readers), but the conversations in the comments are already smarter than most conference panels I’ve paid for. And every time I send the weekly digest I get replies that start with “I finally found someone solving the same problem as me…” That’s the metric I care about.
So if you, too, miss the old internet—the one that felt like a neighborhood instead of a mall—come hang out.
