This is mostly a selfish ask, but I think it would be cool if there was an option to discover older content. Right now, the main homepage allows you to sort content by latest and greatest, but there doesn't seem to be any opportunities for good content to shine if it never gets seen in the first place.
In other words, unless an article gets overwhelmingly popular, I feel like it sort of disappears into the void like an old Tweet. It would be nice if articles had an opportunity to resurface as they do take a lot longer to write than a Tweet.
Describe the solution you'd like
I know that dev.to displays related content under articles, but I think I'd be interested in a tab or widget that allowed you to discover older articles. For instance, GitHub has this little discover repositories section on the main dashboard. I don't know how it works (probably based on trending repos), but I'd love something like that as both a reader and an author—especially if those recommendations were based on your interests.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Honestly, I haven't thought a lot about how this would work, and I couldn't find any similar suggestions in the current list of issues. If anyone has any ideas, I'm welcome to them!
Really great stuff, Jason. I actually had the same sort of complaint awhile back about this platform, and I even mentioned it as an issue on GitHub:

Here's the GitHub feature I was referencing:
But, I never had a solution for it. I like some of your ideas!
