Hacker News - Newest: "personal blogs"

Show HN: I built a frontpage for personal blogs

ramkarthikk — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 12:33:45 +0000

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories.

There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/

If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.

unisyncd — Sat, 20 Sep 2025 03:46:08 +0000

More personal blogs get narrower page in recent days posted on HN. Is it a new fashion?

Show HN: Popularity Contest, the highest-ranking personal blogs of HN

mtlynch — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 13:20:17 +0000

Personal blogs are my favorite part of Hacker News, so I was curious to find out which ones are the most popular.

There are tools for finding popular individual posts on HN, but I'd never found anything that aggregates scores across multiple submissions for the same domain, so I decided to build one. I also had a vain curiosity about how my own blog compared to other popular HN authors like Simon Willison and Dan Luu.

I had fun making this, as it helped me discover a lot of high-quality personal blogs that weren't on my radar, especially from the earlier days of HN.

Suggestions, questions, and criticisms welcome!

Show HN: 100kb – an opinionated feed of personal blogs

danhilltech — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 13:05:12 +0000

Hi HN! This is a personal project I finally got round to completing and shipping.

It’s a simple feed of articles written by real people with interesting things to say.

I wanted to explore some new technologies I haven't had a chance to try before, mostly rust and LLMs.

As I browse HN each day I find myself most drawn to the content on personal blogs: people who have interesting things to say, from their own point-of-view, on a whole range of topics. Rather than being interested in particular topics, I’m more interested in reading from interesting people.

This isn't a particularly new idea, there's been plenty of similar projects shared on HN and on the internet (Kagi Search, Marginalia, Bearblog etc). But, I don't think personal projects need to be revolutionary to be useful (to me at least).

It's open source here https://github.com/danhilltech/100kb.golang

Ask HN: What AI disclaimers do you use on your personal blogs?

jasoneckert — Sun, 16 Jun 2024 13:29:58 +0000

It has come to the point where I feel I need to let readers of my personal blog know that all content I create is not AI-generated.

So I've created this page and linked to it using a simple icon on my homepage: https://jasoneckert.github.io/site/about-this-site/

I'm curious as to how many others do this on their personal blogs, and what approach they've used for the same thing.

Ask HN: Any non tech, interesting personal blogs to recommend?

manuelmoreale — Mon, 22 Jan 2024 06:52:29 +0000

I know people here have long curated lists of blogs they follow so I was wondering if you have any non tech related personal blogs you think are interesting and worth checking out.

I have a very niche side project I'm curating that's related to personal blogs but it's hard to break the tech bubble because most people with blogs are devs and they write about mostly tech and they link to other tech blogs so it's a never ending loop.

I'd love to get some suggestions if you have any. My email is on my profile if for some reason you have a huge OPML file you want to share.

Thanks!
