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.

What I love about that is I have many GIFs with customized route params, and I can use them in Slack messages, and Slack renders them in the chat.

I'm a software architect with 23 years of professional experience, mainly in C#/.NET environments, and I currently lead a development team. Over the years, my focus has shifted from purely technical excellence to the human side of software development: communication, decision-making, responsibility, and sustainable performance. In parallel to my tech career, I trained as a licensed psychological counsellor and supervisor in Austria, Vienna. Today, I work with individuals and teams on topics like leadership, mental load, clarity in roles, burnout prevention, and turning reflection into action, especially in complex, high-responsibility environments such as software teams. My work bridges structured engineering thinking with psychological depth and practical implementation.

I wish I’d written more. This site is almost 20 years old now. I bought the domain using a friend’s credit card because I didn’t have one back then and there was no other way to purchase online.
Recreated at the end of the year. No writing yet but some of my current projects are listed at https://tbhb.dev/projects/
I'd recommend making sure your site is in Marginala's index. E.g. here's how I confirm my site is in there:
https://marginalia-search.com/site/nhobb.com?view=info
And link to sites you like!
My personal blog that I write in every now and then: https://blog.mrcsharp.dev
Mostly dev-related topics but I'm trying to write about more than just that.
And btw, this is a brilliant idea. I've already found 2 sites in adding to my bookmarks.
I have two, because I am too lazy to integrate the one into the other:
Old web site with writing projects:
https://meadhbh.hamrick.rocks/
Newer web site with design experiments:
I had this intent to make a recreation of Windows 9x for the longest time.
I wanted to implement many modern apps as Windows-like software, but ended up only implementing Bluesky (which does work pretty well), together with other fun jokes.
https://www.lukaskrepel.nl it's my personal portfolio of animation and videogame work, I hope it's as simple and straightforward as I think it is, while also being playful and a bit like the old web.
https://taitbrown.com -- I feel like it's "the mechanics car" or "the builders house". We're all too busy designing and building for other people, our own house looks like junk.
Always happy to self-promote!
Website: https://www.jvt.me (used for blog, but I also use as an IndieWeb site, so I i.e. reply to social media posts from my website, and they're syndicated out to the different platforms)

I'm not a web designer by trade. I did recently decide to launch a personal website after dragging my feet for many years:
I only have one blog post, it's effectively a host for my resume and there's a lot of work to do to make it nicer. For one, while I'm trying to convey an aesthetic with the three.js-powered background, it is _not_ performant on some devices. Choosing a SPA architecture in order to keep the background seamless is also biting me in the butt. From an SEO perspective, for example, I can't implement proper OpenGraph metadata on the blog posts since crawlers don't execute JS.
I'm happy though. I'm excited to make it a long-lived shrine.
Personal site: https://drshapeless.com
Blog https://drshapeless.com/blog
I have been maintaining it for a few years, though not very actively.
My personal website - I'm adding a proper portfolio soon. My blog is all over the place, and will also be migrated to this same domain in the coming weeks.
https://penk.in/ - one day I will add a proper blog in there and testing bed for tech, but for now it is as it is. The background image is the one I took in Iceland, really proud of it
Still very unfinished but the site im currently working on is https://beta.grisu.app
Once its done it will replace the automatic redirect to be a Table of Contents of sorts with buttons to redirect you.

My personal site, custom built with Astro.
It includes my projects and a blog. Writting about life in Korea, Obsidian, web development and other topics somewhat related to these!
My portfolio site that really needs to have some more articles on it at some point. It's on the list of things to do when I get enough energy for it
Here are my sites:
Ray's Miscellany - https://brisray.com/ - Everything I'm interested in
HMS Gambia - https://hmsgambia.org/ - A history of the cruiser HMS Gambia

I built a Q&A style blog about cruising, with an initial focus on Disney Cruise Line. We're heading out on our first family cruise, and I had a lot of very specific questions. LLM answers were usually close, but often missed important nuances, so I ended up digging through countless Reddit threads and forum posts to piece together reliable answers.
I started collecting those answers for my own reference, which gradually turned into a public blog. The funny part is that the posts themselves will probably end up as training data for future LLMs, closing the loop.
Here’s mine!
After years of neglect, I updated the theme, translated all pages to Portuguese and finally posted something new. I hope to continue this and maybe start making it an habit.
https://astronotyet.com A high-fidelity astronomy portal for India, designed as a retro-futurist command terminal with custom JS simulators and a gear marketplace.
Personal Site: https://timhbergstrom.pro Consulting Site: https://tbtechvn.com Current pet project Site: https://ethwatchtower.xyz Current startup Site: https://blacksmithlabs.net (MVP/Demo: https://blacksmithlabs.net/gary-app)
Primarily meant as a resume / CV with the addition of some CSS experiments and past personal project documentation. Originally made as a challenge to meet the no-js.club requirements.

https://araesmojo-eng.github.io/araesmojo-html - HTML only version (no JS, no CSS)
https://araesmojo-eng.github.io/index.txt - Text only version (no JS, no CSS, no HTML)
https://aiandtractors.com/ - the last iteration of my personal website (the first one was in 1996). I mostly use it to vibe code the hobby projects; the last one is a better passport ranking that brings Korea to the first place, not Singapore: https://aiandtractors.com/passport-ranking/
I should probably get around to making an update or two, but alas it's the dark part of the year and my inspiration is running on fumes.
my pride and joy with many easter eggs, including:
- random post surfacing
- animated book progress html [1]
- creative code [2]
- code poetry [3]
and much more!!
1 - https://www.bramadams.dev/book-progress-1-11-26/
currently working on a redesign and would love to hear your feedback:
Personal site: https://matthewsinclair.com
A couple of other sites that I maintain for side projects: https://quantumfaxmachine.com https://whatnext.dev https://playprolix.com
And my "own-my-own-stack" personal CMS that I use to host all of my sites: https://laksa.io
I started my website in 2001, writing a lot of it, much of which is pretty embarrassing later in life, but I kept almost all of it. More often than not, I go back to read them and laugh.
In some weird way, I also feel an obligation to keep them alive for as long as I can, so that the websites linking back to mine are not greeted with a 404. I cannot disappoint the likes of Wikipedia, USA Patents, quite a few other megacorps’ websites, Russian and Chinese websites, and many others who trusted that I’m someone with a mark/presence on the Internet.
https://amirmalik.net - I haven't blogged in a while, but have been experimenting with single-file build-step-free HTML tools (inspired by simonw's tool catalog) at https://amirmalik.net/tools -- I'm hoping to add more "bring your own API key" local-first mini tools that store their data in IndexedDB or OPFS and sync. I should probably write a post about it :)

I have been slowly evolving it over 10 years. 1.6k stars, ~ 1,000 forks. I originally designed it to be easy to copy, and I've occasionally interviewed someone who forked it for their own site which always makes me happy.
I have made a lot of updates recently now that the age of vibe coding is making templates less useful, but it still is and will be my playground.
https://blog.miloslavhomer.cz/
I am writing about security, programming and self-hosting. Lately I was learning some AI. Enjoy + any feedback welcome!
My website serves as my presence on the World Wide Web: https://callumr.com/
Some photos; some philosophy; some book reviews.
The homepage bio and /now page are a little outdated---I've just returned from a three-month trip around Japan, Bali and Australia---but I plan on updating them soon!
One of my favourite pages is 'About This Website': https://callumr.com/colophon
If you visit, reach out to me and let me know what you think (contact in footer).
Kind of a collection of rants, tools, and old projects... largely from before GitHub became a thing.
My site's getting kind of old and creaky, but I update it from time to time.
There's a fair number of articles that were "I ran into this problem at work, so I wrote a blog post about how I fixed it" we just had the amazing upside of having a link to send somebody when they run into the same problem. I've been told by coworkers that they found my posts googling their problems before.
https://henrikwarne.com/ - my blog about programming (started it in 2011). Happy to have had several posts hit the HN front page.
https://dbohdan.com/#meta is my personal wiki. Recently added pages include the first complete transcript of "The Dragon Speech" by game designer Chris Crawford and how I made Claude rework elegiac poems into Rupi Kaur-style "Instapoetry" using Gwern Branwen's technique.
http://dbohdan.sdf.org/ is my hobby site about the SDF Public Access Unix System, the Small Internet, and NetBSD.
My portfolio site is at https://www.generativestorytelling.ai/ though bit rot has set in on quite a few of the projects.
I need to move my personal blog (https://meanderingthoughts.hashnode.dev/) over there still, sadly HN auto flags any submissions from any hashnode domain so I've been unable to submit any of my blog posts for consideration!
Also as text: https://txt.basilikum.monster
Onion version hosted on my phone: http://basiliowo72cnghxxg6xy5wu5rxlwemy3loizdcr55lx4w7q7pfe7...
and clearnet reverse proxy of that: https://onion.basilikum.monster
My personal blog: https://david.coffee
And a few projects I’m working on:
- https://configmesh.app utility for syncing dotfiles + application configs
- https://fixmyjapanese.com AI powered grammar correction teacher for Japanese
- https://microfn.dev Toolbox and cloud runner for tiny composable JavaScript functions
I put together my website to collect all my projects in a single place and occasionally post some random thoughts.
https://www.ziritione.org -- Started in the early ~2000s. Personal blog, sometimes too personal (I added a bunch of noindex tags instead of removing old content), covering some tech stuff over the years. Interestingly, I migrated the site to different frameworks over the years, still managing to keep most of the URLs stable and not losing any meaningful content (started with blosxom in perl, then custom solution in django and now hugo).
https://www.shdon.com/ I post infrequently, but have been maintaining a site for nearly 30 years now, 25 of which at this address. It contains random musings, some tech content, my game development efforts, and showcases some of my pixel art.
