Show HN: Ponder – the best articles and essays on the internet

A solo developer launched Ponder, a user-fed database for cataloging and rating articles and essays, aiming to fill a gap for quality longform content discovery. The site currently has ~500 articles and few active users, and the builder seeks feedback on AI-generated code and overall utility.

Hello HN, I love to read articles, but I have trouble finding the bangers that really make you think. I want to be able to organize a huge database of articles and filter it by category then order it by quality to find the best ones worth my time. There's iMDb for film, Goodreads for books, AOTY for albums but nothing for articles and essays. That was the idea, and I've got it up and running. Where it's at honestly: ~500 articles cataloged, a small handful of active users, and very few ratings yet. It's early. I'm a solo builder and I'm hoping to find other people who find the website useful and have the same passion that I do for good longform. It is a user-fed database, so it needs a few more people before it will start to thrive. What I'd love feedback on: -Yes, I used AI to generate the website code. Is this a turn-off? Is it obvious? -Would you use a website like this to keep a log or find good reads? -Are there any articles that you've read that you still think about?
