This is nice, but lists don't make great HN submissions - partly because HN itself is already a list and that's too much indirection, but mainly because they don't lead to specific-enough discussion. We end up getting a generic thread driven by the lowest common denominator* of the items on the list, and generic discussions never go deep enough to be that interesting.<p>The solution is to pick the most interesting thing on the list and submit that instead—and then maybe add a comment linking to the list and saying that's where you found it.<p><a href="https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=denominator%20lists%20by:dang" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...</a><p>* (I should probably be saying greatest common factor instead, but that doesn't roll off the keyboard as easily)
It would be great to have tags on each. Displaying a person's name isn't much help, unless I already know them. For example, if it had tags like "Software Developer", "Photography" to denote that blog might pertain to those topics of interest, it might draw me to check them out.
Another project that does something similar is <a href="https://indieblog.page/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://indieblog.page/</a>.
Hope this project becomes big as well!
It's been on my todo list for a while to make an old school Yahoo-style "web directory" to which anyone can submit a website. This seems like a subset of that for personal blogs.<p>We have the same discoverability problem that web 1.0 had, and I think it can be solved with the same solutions.

I just started working on <a href="https://devblogs.net" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://devblogs.net</a> two weeks ago! Wanted to build something on Cloudflare Workers and D1 SQLite database. Compared to these blog collections, DevBlogs aggregates the posts in a feed.
