For You
A continuous personalized feed driven by a six-dimensional interest profile.
What it is
For You is the personalized stream BestBlogs continuously refreshes for you.
Compared to My Brief:
- My Brief is "one curated batch a day" — small and selective;
- For You is "endless" — continuous recall against your profile.
Pro only.
Six-dimensional interest profile
Every user's profile is determined by six dimensions:
| Dimension | Notes |
|---|---|
| Domain | High-level direction — AI, engineering, product, business, lifestyle |
| Topic | Finer than domain — "Agent architecture," "TypeScript at scale" |
| Entity | Specific products / companies / people — Claude, Cursor, OpenAI |
| Format | Your distribution across articles / podcasts / videos / tweets / newsletters |
| Source | Sources you frequently follow or engage with |
| Freshness | Whether you lean toward fresh news or slower long-form |
Cold-start values come from your selections under Settings → Interest profile; from there, the system updates continuously from your bookmarks, highlights, "not interested" feedback, and follows.
Recommendation pipeline
- Recall: pull hundreds of candidates from the curated pool against your six-dimensional profile.
- Re-rank: combine score, freshness, source preference, read state, and recent-recommendation history.
- Dedup: avoid clustering items from the same source in a short window.
- Diversity guardrail: reserve 1–2 "exploratory" items to expand the edges of your profile.
"Why we recommend this"
Most cards carry a "why we recommend this" line in the bottom-right:
- "You've been reading a lot of AI architecture articles lately"
- "Your followed source XYZ just published this"
- "This is a Featured pick with high engagement this week"
If a recommendation feels off, just hit "Not interested" — weights for the related tags / sources / topics drop immediately.
Three places to tune your profile
| Entry | Control |
|---|---|
| Behavior signals (bookmark / highlight / not interested / follow) | Implicit, slow tuning |
| Settings → Interest profile (manual tag / weight edits) | Explicit, fast tuning |
| Featured stars in Following | Sharply boost a specific source in My Brief |
