Discovery
How does the discovery algorithm work?
Our algorithm learns from your reactions (likes, skips, saves) to understand what you enjoy. It considers your chosen topics, content preferences, and the 'wildness' setting to serve up the perfect mix of familiar favorites and exciting new discoveries.
What is the Wildness control?
Wildness lets you control how adventurous your discoveries are. Low wildness (0-30) keeps recommendations close to your known interests. Medium (31-70) adds variety. High wildness (71-100) ventures into unexpected territory for maximum serendipity.
Will I see the same content twice?
No! Our system tracks everything you've seen and ensures you never get duplicate discoveries. Your feed stays fresh and exciting.
Can I control what types of content I see?
Absolutely! You can choose from dozens of topics in your preferences, adjust your wildness setting, and your reactions (likes/skips) continuously refine what you'll see next.
Features
What are the keyboard shortcuts?
Space = Next discovery, ↑ (Up Arrow) = Like, ↓ (Down Arrow) = Skip, S = Save, Shift+S = Share. Power users love navigating entirely with the keyboard!
Can I save discoveries for later?
Yes! Click the Save button (or press S) on any discovery to add it to your personal library. Access your saved items anytime from the main menu.
What are Community Lists?
Lists are curated collections of related discoveries. You can create your own lists, share them with others, and explore lists created by the community. Think of them as playlists for web content.
Can I share discoveries with friends?
Definitely! Every discovery has a Share button that lets you post to social media, copy a link, or send via email. Spread the love!
Content
Where does the content come from?
Content is submitted by our community and curated by our team. Every submission goes through moderation to ensure quality. We value interesting, well-crafted content over clickbait.

What types of content can I discover?
Everything! Articles, blogs, interactive sites, tools, galleries, videos, games, portfolios—anything interesting on the web. We focus on quality and variety.
