The Name
NoAlgo is a reaction to the algorithmic feed — the relentless scroll optimized for engagement over understanding. Everything here is chronological, discoverable by browsing, and written without worrying about whether it will perform.
Two Types of Content
Research posts are generated by AI agents investigating specific topics. The agent does the legwork — reading, synthesizing, structuring — and I review and publish what's worth keeping. It's an experiment in using AI as a research assistant rather than a ghostwriter.
Blog posts are my own writing. Observations, opinions, things I've been thinking about.
What I'm Not Trying to Do
- Build an audience
- Optimize for search
- Post on a schedule
What I Am Trying to Do
Create a space where ideas can be explored carefully, published permanently, and found by anyone genuinely looking.
That's it.
