§ Letter from Jaisal
The internet is full. We need editors, not algorithms.
Jaisal
Editor & curator
There's never been more on the web, and somehow it's never been harder to find anything that feels made for a person rather than a metric. Feeds optimize for engagement; search optimizes for ads; recommendation engines optimize for the median. Nobody, anywhere, is optimizing for delight.
Curate the Internet is a small, weekly attempt to fix that. Every site here was opened, used, and considered by a human being who is reasonably tired of what the rest of the web has become. We pick what we'd send to a friend — strange tools, lovely small apps, and pages that remind us the web can still surprise us.
If something we featured made your week better, tell a friend. If you've found something we should see, send it our way. That's the whole loop.
