I'm a fan of Bear Blog's discover page, but I had two challenges with it. If I missed a day, good posts would disappear off the front page before I saw them. And if I checked too often, I couldn't tell what was new. Basically the same problems that hckrnews.com solves for Hacker News.
So I built Bear Roll, a chronological archive of what the Bear Blog community has been reading and toasting.
It's a static Astro site hosted on GitHub Pages. Every day at midnight UTC a script grabs the first 5 pages of discover (100 posts) and stores them in dated JSON files. This means it doesn't contain all posts, just the ones that reach the first 5 pages of discover. The source code and data is on GitHub if you're curious.
