Show HN: I built a frontpage for personal blogs

Great job. Submitted my blog.

Something like this is very much needed. I hope to see more things like this. What would be really cool is if there was a personalized algorithm (for you page) that stored data and processed locally.

give people the ability to curate their own collections and publish them

Incredible that we are regressing back to webrings and hand-curated lists like this, both of which I remember well. That's not a criticism! I guess that the quality-drop in search wasn't quite enough to make it happen, but the advent of AI content predomination will be.

Nice job. A small suggestion, unless I completely missed it, an option to filter by post / blog language.

This is great. I'm curious what's your vision on adding comments?

I love this (and submitted my blog) - people bemoan the death of the Old Web™ but in reality there is still heaps of great content being created.

Did you use Frontpage to create your frontpage?

If anyone looking for something even more minimalist, give the HN x Small Web RSS feed a try https://hcker.news/feeds/atom?period=day&limit=50&smallweb=t...

Great work, I haven't updated my public site in years while I waited for the LLM stuff to play out, but you've inspired me to put it back out there and submit.

Very cool! This was a good impetus to actually add RSS to my blog.

sebastianconcpt

Yeah we need to make curated human signals stronger.

Nice. I can see a version of this working for ever more niche areas. Curated reading lists for areas of interest. At which point a curated list of curated lists becomes viable!

This is great, thanks! It sort of feels like browsing for gems in a used bookstore and stumbling onto authentic, personal writing. I'm always up for that, and plan on spending plenty of time exploring the list. I’ve submitted mine as well - cheers!

Question, is this strictly chronological, or is there anything at all to make this an "algorithmic feed" like HN, reddit, twitter, or facebook? (list is roughly in the order of less shitty to more shitty, but note that none of them are chronological, unlike, say, a RSS reader aggregating some set of blogs)

Very clean site, well done. I’ve built something similar, but it also has an algorithmic front page option as well based on the “standard” algorithm from Reddit/HN: https://engineered.at I also have it wired up to gpt nano for topic extraction and summary creation per post, if you register for an account (free) you can also follow sources and topics to fine tune things. I have a big list of features to continue adding to it, like an ability to “claim” your site so you can get some analytics from the site, and potentially to boost your site in the algorithm. Might also add a jobs board. If you’re interested, while this site is closed source, the feed monitoring rails engine is open source: https://github.com/dchuk/source_monitor

Great idea! Could you add a "music" category please for blogs?

Nice and clean.

Love this! New homepage for me. Do you have a buy me coffee button to help keep it live?

Love this! I very much appreciate the inclusion of a lightweight version, as I think lightweight discovery for blogs and the small web is where good tools and apps are needed. Also, given that the lightweight version is very hn styled format it naturally leads my brain to imagining a version with upvotes and commenters (which may be a good or a bad thing) but with the link submission part automated. Not necessarily the intent here but it was the first time that particular combination of possibilities occurred to me as a way to do things. Also curious about how these blogs are indexed/reviewed. Is the list ever pruned over time due to inactivity?
