Links Supply

What is this?

Links Supply surfaces the most interesting projects, tools, and content shared by the Bluesky community each day. Think of it as a curated digest of what people are excited about — updated daily.

This project is inspired by Andy Baio's Belong.io, which did the same thing for Twitter before the API was shut down.

Where do the links come from?

We monitor posts from approximately 2,000 accounts on Bluesky — a curated list of interesting people including developers, designers, founders, researchers, journalists, and creators.

When these accounts share links in their posts, we extract and analyze them. Links to social media sites, URL shorteners, and other aggregators are filtered out to focus on original content.

How does the ranking work?

Each link gets a score based on three factors:

Popularity

How many tracked accounts shared the link. More shares = higher score.

Freshness

How recently the link was shared. Newer links get a boost that decays over time.

Simplicity

This is the secret sauce. Links with simpler URLs score higher because they tend to be projects and products rather than news articles.

  • example.com — scores highest (root domain = likely a project)
  • example.com/product — scores high
  • example.com/blog/2026/01/article-title — scores lower (date in URL = likely an article)

The formula: score = (shares × 10) + (freshness × 500) + (simplicity × 3)

Why favor simple URLs?

News articles and blog posts are everywhere. What's harder to find are the cool indie projects, new tools, and interesting products that people are building. By scoring simpler URLs higher, we surface more of the "look what I made" links and fewer of the "here's an article about X" links.

How often is it updated?

Links are pulled in and rankings are recalculated every hour, so it's worth checking back throughout the day to see what's rising to the top.

Nothing is set in stone until midnight each day. Until then, new shares can push links up the rankings, and the leaderboard can shift as more people discover and share content. Once the clock strikes midnight, that day's top links are locked in and archived.

The top ~30 links for each day are displayed on the homepage, and you can browse previous days using the date navigation.
