alt Hacker NewsAsk HN: Share your personal website
Hello HN! I am putting together a community-maintained directory of personal websites at https://hnpwd.github.io/. More details about the project can be found in the README at https://github.com/hnpwd/hnpwd#readme.
As you can see, the directory currently has only a handful of entries. I need your help to grow it. If you have a personal website, I would be glad if you shared it here. If your website is hosted on a web space where you have full control over its design and content, and if it has been well received in past HN discussions, I might add it to the directory. Just drop a link in the comments. Please let me know if you do not want your website to be included in the directory.
Also, I intend this to be a community maintained resource, so if you would like to join the GitHub project as a maintainer, please let me know either here or via the IRC link in the README.
By the way, see also 'Ask HN: Could you share your personal blog here?' - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36575081 - July 2023 - (1014 points, 1940 comments). In this post, the scope is not restricted to blogs though. Any personal website is welcome, whether it is a blog, digital garden, personal wiki or something else entirely.
UPDATE: It is going to take a while to go through all the submissions and add them. If you'd like to help with the process, please send a PR directly to this project: https://github.com/hnpwd/hnpwd.

https://simonsarris.com - My site
https://map.simonsarris.com - My newsletter site
https://garden.simonsarris.com - My garden designer site. Currently making this so anyone can use it! Public alpha at the end of the month I hope.
https://meetinghouse.cc - My site for helping twitter users find each other
https://carefulwords.com - My very fast thesaurus site
It's a simple "business card" page built with Angular and 98.css.
Been thinking of upgrading to plain vanilla js, xp.css and maybe some static site generation or CMS thingy for blog posts
Today is my 50th birthday, actually! And my website is basically a timeline of interesting projects I've been doing since I was a kid. I often think it would be cool if everyone had some public timeline of their life in a shareable way. Here's mine: https://westegg.com
I am a big fan of https://blogs.hn/ (I visit it daily), your directory looks similar.
You should automate this, maybe drive all of these content from a json file and accept PRs.

Hey! Here is my personal website! Please, check it out!
http://localhost:8080/
I'm not a great designer, but I've tried to capture the who, what and jump off points for reading my writing as well as I could. Always impressed by the creativity and soul many other folks seem able to put into their personal homepages!
I got excited at the headline of this post because I love the idea of community maintained personal site directories. Was disappointed to get into the description and linked Git repository and learn that it's only for sites that have gotten some traction on hacker news before. Was hoping it would be a way to stumble upon potentially underrepresented content from folks in the hacker news community who don't normally get attention.
This is probably a "me" problem for assuming otherwise (you even have HN in your URL), but it's not what I expected from a post asking people to share their personal websites.
edit: judging by the number of personal website links posted here that do not meet that criteria, it appears I was not the only one with the wrong impression.
The site covers mostly retro- and classic computing. (Strictly no AI generated content.) Here in convenient format:
(
:name "Norbert Landsteiner"
:site "https://masswerk.at/"
:blog "https://masswerk.at/nowgobang/"
:feed "https://masswerk.at/nowgobang/feed.xml" //covers blog only
:about "https://masswerk.at/info/" //legal info
:hnuid "masswerk"
:bio "web developer and designer, site content is mostly retro- and classic computing."

https://news.onbrn.com - Personal "blog", if you can call it that
https://ministories.net - Personal list of short Stories to read quickly, and think slowly
https://snozmusic.com - Personal website for my music producer "persona"
https://poemasparacriancas.com - Personal list of poems, in Portuguese, written for kids
https://goto.anardil.net/ - Launchpad for all my other (16!) sites.

https://dnd.anardil.net/ - Artifacts from my groups' D&D games
https://pirates.anardil.net/ - Pirate insult generator
https://alchemy.anardil.net/ - Morrowind (TES 3) alchemy calculator
I made this about 5 years ago with just html and a-frame. The cms is an inline json file. It has aged really well!
My personal website lives at https://pablo.rauzy.name/ since 2008. My previous personal website is not online anymore.
Some parts of it are in French, typically the teaching section, which is primarily aimed at my students.
My blog (in French) is at https://p4bl0.net/. It's a new version that's live since 2021 but this domain has been hosting my blog since 2006. I had a blog before that but the hosting service I used has long been dead.
https://nindalf.com. I've written a few posts that have made it to HN [1].
I strongly oppose writing with LLMs and think it's more important than ever to write with our own words. If my writing is to be better than LLMs I need to hone it by writing more.
I'm proud of the website as well. I have used LLMs to assist with the UI dev. It has all 100s from PageSpeed. I've made it so it's easy to add pages within. All the books I've read in the last few years [1] and a minimalist gym tracker I use myself (any anyone can too!).

https://www.taxiwars.org/ - this site is mostly composed of my diaries and stories from Kuro5hin.org (RIP: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11609802 ). "I posted at K5 because I wanted to be anonymous, and was not looking for attention (the site had already shrunk to a skeleton core of users at that time)" - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12193286
My submission of my then-new website got a little time on the front page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12193273
I have a bunch of notes for posts I started but haven't yet finished. The Predicaments of Old People seems important. A Medical Hack Job is about a young woman who couldn't afford the pills the ER doctors had prescribed her.
There have been a few posts since K5 went away. 'False Prophecy' was about the time I became a false prophet. I'd forgotten all about this anecdote until the next time I went out to look at a lunar eclipse. https://www.taxiwars.org/2020/10/false-prophesy.html
I'm a turntablist and scratch DJ, been running my site since 2006. I mix and dj mainly old rave stuff and old hip hop. I'm oldskool in that i like to provide free mp3 and even flac versions of my mixes, and I don't just rely on another walled garden type service.
I don't update that site as frequently as i should.
But i'm planning to add a lot more music to it later this year and maybe some video/visual mixes which I've been working on.
I need to write more often, but okay: https://blog.bityard.net/
If anyone has any leads on a comment system that isn't a spam magnet and also works acceptably with a static site, I'm all ears.
A collection of free decision-making tools I built:
- Decision Wheel (customizable spinning wheel)
- Coin Flip (yes/no decisions)
- Tarot Reading (with AI interpretations)
- Magic 8 Ball
Features: AI-powered result analysis (OpenAI), 10 languages, dark/light themes, mobile
responsive.
Tech: Next.js 15, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Supabase.I'm really proud of this - vibe coded the hell out of it with Claude, but I love how I was able to step out of the annoying and nit picking css and browser incompatibilities I've dealt with for the last 20 years and just do the art direction and push the limits of what's possible.
I've got a couple, one for my fiction writing and general worldbuilding (a digital garden if you will) at https://writing.martin-brennan.com and my tech blog at https://martin-brennan.com
https://diccionari.icarns.xyz Probably not the best thing for an American audience. Mallorquí [0] for Catalan people.
https://mwillis.com I recently updated layouts and UX but haven’t quite rolled out changes evenly across older content.
Is this much different than https://github.com/kagisearch/smallweb ?
https://oliver-brodersen.com/ is my portfolio site Other sites i have made which are available from here are:
- https://powerplan.io A B2B shiftplanning saas for managing workforces
- https://speedcubetimer.io Offile first speed cubing site for tracking times
- https://20srule.com A chrome extension that enables better browsing habbits
- https://whitehat.oliver-brodersen.com/ A modern, all-in-one page HN wrapper
Procedural note: if you're an experienced HN user looking at this page, consider briefly turn on "show dead" and vouch for some of the spam-blocked comments - it looks like the filter takes exception to the single-website-and-nothing-else style post
I'm over at https://danilafe.com.
It's a blog, where I write about compilers, formal verification, and programming languages mostly. Occasionally some web design (with Hugo) sneaks in.
First anything added to Hacker News but what the hey! This seems neat and maybe help motivate me to update and better maintain my page...
Ahh shoot, I'm late to the party. I don't know how I missed this.
My site [3] hosts my technical services but I also write about technology on my publications section [0]. I also wrote an article on growing up with home computers[1]
[0]: https://scottRlarson.com/publications
https://christopheradams.io/ is my personal website of writing, projects, and photographs. A simple static site published with Emacs, Jekyll, and Bootstrap. I even host my own newsletter with listmonk.
One early post that charted my path:
https://christopheradams.io/posts/2016/11/25/what-happens-wh...
Personal UNIX/FreeBSD/Linux blog at - https://vermaden.wordpress.com/ - that also comes with weekly Valuable News series dedicated to provide summary about news, articles and other interesting stuff mostly but not always related to the UNIX or BSD systems available - https://vermaden.wordpress.com/news/ - here.
Nothing fancy - A simple gallery of my art progress.
Context: I started from an existing Bootstrap gallery template and stripped it down to the bare minimum. The site is static with all the sorting and grouping done client-side. Images are just files in a folder, with metadata in a JSON file. Adding a new piece is just dropping in an image and updating the JSON. It’s hosted on GitHub Pages with a cheap domain from Namecheap.
Hi! I’d like to share my personal website: https://me.victoryhub.cc/
It’s an open-source, configurable personal website that I built to experiment with design, content structure, and long-term maintainability. The goal is to make it easy for others to fork, customize, and use as their own personal site (blog / profile / digital garden).
Source code and setup instructions are linked on the site. Feedback welcome!
My personal blog and resume. I have written a couple of blog-posts:

I used to care that I wasn't "writing enough" and that I spent more time tinkering with the code than making content. But the reality is that I'm the main audience and that anxiety was coming from potential perception of others.
Tinker away tinkerers!
