For those curious, DiscoverDev is a fully static site hosted on Netlify. It's all handcrafted vanilla HTML and CSS. (The first site I've ever developed, zero design experience, so nothing fancy). Zero lines of Javascript as well :)<p>1. I've written my own crawler+parser which parses selected blogs and publications and then displays new articles to me in a chronological manner in a GUI.<p>2. I select the articles myself, and tag them.<p>3. Then a script sees all the selected articles and generates a JSON file.<p>4. I've written my own static site generator which consumes this JSON and spits out the updated website and RSS.<p>5. I push the changes to my git repo.<p>6. Netlify listens to the git repo and updates my build.<p>7. People see my updated webpage and RSS feed within seconds.<p>Thanks for taking a look.<p>-----<p>Subscribe to the newsletter if you're looking forward to receive a weekly digest of interesting articles and resources.

I curate every weekday, 8-10 high quality links. Been doing this for about an year! Feel free to ask me any questions.<p>Mailing list : <a href="https://www.discoverdev.io/subscribe" rel="nofollow">https://www.discoverdev.io/subscribe</a><p>RSS feed : <a href="https://www.discoverdev.io/rss.xml" rel="nofollow">https://www.discoverdev.io/rss.xml</a>
I love the idea, I have longed for a no-nonsense aggregater of blogs/websites/etc without the bloat.<p>Is there any chance you could add more hardware orientated stuff? Even if all it did was scrape hackaday.com and remove the spam and 'editors' drivel.
Nice! It would be great if posts had timestamps, eg on <a href="https://www.discoverdev.io/tags/jvm" rel="nofollow">https://www.discoverdev.io/tags/jvm</a>
A small, subjective point of improvement: #fff and #000 are very high contrast, I find pages with a slight muting of these two colors (ie, #fcfcfc and #030303 - an offset of 3 in rgb) to be much easier to read. Regardless, I love the site. I've bookmarked it and will visit alongside my morning routine.
I maintain a similar site here, but it’s all hands off, RSS feeds + hn style voting interface: <a href="https://engineered.at" rel="nofollow">https://engineered.at</a> problem is no one votes so it’s basically chronological.<p>The curation quality of your site is fantastic! Keep it up!
Wow, the design is amazing -- I am really not good with design but it is very simple and extremely very clean. I might steal it at some point. I also really like the no javascript approach. You even have a RSS reader, which is really helpful but I have one little nickpick, the date format is: "Fri, 11 May 2018 00:00:00" which is slightly wrong (you forgot +0000 as the time zone). Good job anyways!
There is a lot to like here, but I wish viewing by tags had a more obvious sort applied.<p>Some items included aren't of interest to me, so naturally I'd like some way to filter those out. Viewing a tag is a good way to do that, but then I lose the chronological organization.
First, great work! I’ve subscribed the RSS feed :) This is something I started wishing for!<p>Second, on the RSS feed, could you display the source of each link as you do on the website?
