Today I'm going heads down on something that doesn't ship a visible feature but will quietly make Conjure a lot smarter.
I'm building the recommendation algorithm.
The idea is simple: the more you read, the better Conjure understands what you care about. Every blog you open adds signal. Every topic you explore builds confidence. Over time, the suggestions you see aren't random they're shaped by you.
Here's how it works under the hood: Each topic carries a strength score. Reading a blog in that topic increases its weight. The higher the weight, the more confidently Conjure surfaces similar content next time. The algorithm updates itself on every read, so it gets sharper the more you use it.
And here's the part I'm excited about during onboarding, I already ask users for their interests. I haven't wired that in yet, but it's the perfect cold-start seed. New user? Your declared interests anchor the algorithm until your reading history takes over.
I'm not sure yet if this touches the UI probably some subtle changes, nothing drastic. The infrastructure is the hard part right now.
But here's the thing: this algorithm is only as good as the content that feeds it.
The more blogs get written on Conjure, the more patterns I can find, the better the recommendations become. So if you've been thinking about writing. Now it's actually a great time.
Write more. Read more. Help me build something that gets smarter with every post.
