The Beginning

Welcome to Rec League.

By Grier, James and Chris

Happy New Year! Welcome to Rec League. 

Rec League is our project to build the best destination on the internet for extraordinary, original human intel.

We built this because we think it’s unnecessarily hard to find good, trustworthy stuff online. 

We think it’s way more fun and life-affirming to get recommendations from our friends and people whose taste and judgment we admire than from anywhere else. 

Like this: 

The "Thursday Collection" from @jed

Or this:   

The "Calendars" collection with 2026 date patterns from @treehouse

On the tremendous occasion that someone shares their genuine, hard-earned expertise with the public, we think they should be compensated. Not in metrics, but in income that reflects the value they create for the world. 

You can share great recs and you can support them through choice memberships on Rec League. 

Here are some of our favorites.

Thank you for being here.

Parting words from an original guy:

We’ll see you soon. 

Stay in the loop
