I hope we are going to see an old web resurgence in the coming years and personal blogs will once again populate the hn frontage. If we can't keep the old web, nobody can. We are a niche, a tech niche, but we have to stop visiting medium or other centralized services.<p>Crop tops are everywhere when nobody expected then 30 years later after all.
Nice job getting something built and launched. That in and of itself is a huge accomplishment, so congrats to you!<p>I know everyone has opinions and feature requests but to me the thing that I would find the most useful is a feed of the blogs' content under the tags themselves (e.g. all the posts in #ruby maybe sorted by popularity if you wrap those links and track clicks or something). Either via RSS or use your email signup form to capture me and send me digests of updates. I know you'd have to go workout deals with all those bloggers (or have a TOS giving you permission) for their content and what not, but you emailing me every time you add a new blog isn't high value and I don't want a job checking all those blogs or finding an RSS reader and subscribing to them and keeping the list up to date and curated.<p>That's my $.02 so take it for what it's worth. I don't know your plans for this but that was the first thing that struck me as being the most obvious product feature to add value.<p>Best of luck to you!
Nice! I hope we can eventually filter by multiple tags.<p>EDIT: I think the idea of the Data Shop[1] is pretty brilliant. I might make something like that.<p>[1]: <a href="https://blogsurf.io/data" rel="nofollow">https://blogsurf.io/data</a>
I use to have a blog. But blogs back then were different. Mine was about short amusing dialogs. I wonder if people would still be interested in reading that kind of stuff now a days. By looking at your directory, they all seem to be about tech, right?
I like this and submitted my own personal blog. Out of curiosity, are the blogs curated in any way to prevent the site from being overrun by blogspam?<p>Some feedback, I think adding pagination to the "all" page would be nice, maybe even an alphabetic index.
You can submit an RSS link. Does it support Atom? My blog has Atom because I think that was the default with Zola<p><a href="https://www.getzola.org/documentation/templates/feeds/" rel="nofollow">https://www.getzola.org/documentation/templates/feeds/</a>
grew up in the old web but feel like we moved away from it for more than a few reasons......it's not just because of restrictive environment changes like death of Reader or some crap....<p>Anyone who's blogging regularly posts their new posts on their twitter account. So you follow the <i>people</i> you enjoy and then get their feeds that way. It's very personal.<p>Also, generally we moved away from this Yahoo site directory stuff because the net got too big!If the lack of ability to find the communities is your problem, there are plenty of 'starting off points' like dev.to, even mass blogging centers like medium.... I will always defer to twitter tho as the circles of people posting etc will coalesce in no time at all if you pay attention and add to your follows regularly<p>And then thru those follows, and maybe this is the real direction it needs to go more -- you will find people who <i>curate</i> -- share other interesting content regularly etc. There used to be more sites that focused on daily links curated by ppl who kept up on things. But that of course brings us back to HN. Isn't that what most of this is here? Our collective submitting and upvoting surfaces up the best content daily!
Randomly came across a random site of someone who has been blogging for over 20 years [1]. I recently just started mine after procrastinating for 2 years. It's pretty exciting and humbling to see such great and dedicated folks on the web. Wonderful project dbrereton, thank you for sharing.<p>[1] <a href="https://adactio.com/journal?start=2760" rel="nofollow">https://adactio.com/journal?start=2760</a>
