The full 500

All 499 feeds, grouped by pillar, ranked by score within each. The same hand-scored catalogue FeedsBar runs on, no app required.

Also served at /.well-known/recommendations.opml for blogroll tooling. Packs regenerate with every deploy, so they track the live catalogue.

How the 500 are chosen is not a secret: every source is scored on editorial quality, ad restraint, reach, signal-to-noise, access, cadence, design and independence, with the weights and per-source measurements published on the method page. The ranked list itself lives at /signal-500.

The catalogue was built for FeedsBar, the Mac ticker that carries it. Take the packs anyway; that is what they are for.

Citing it? A dated snapshot of the catalogue, as CSV and OPML with a data card, is archived at Zenodo under doi:10.5281/zenodo.22311917 (CC BY 4.0). That link always resolves to the latest snapshot. The same snapshot is mirrored on Hugging Face, where the CSV is browsable in the dataset viewer.
