alt Hacker NewsShow HN: I built a frontpage for personal blogs
With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories.
There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/
If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.

Cool project.
give people the ability to curate their own collections and publish them
FWIW hackr.news has a smallweb filter: https://hcker.news/?smallweb=true
But kudos for different people working on similar good ideas
Hahahahha... I was trying to build something like this for a while. Seems like I wasn't the only one with this idea. So happy someone finally did it!
Nice and clean.
If anyone looking for something even more minimalist, give the HN x Small Web RSS feed a try

What if I have a personal handwritten blog but it has nazist content?
Variety! I appreciate that it's not all tech writing from tech blogs from people in tech like almost every blog list/aggregator thing on HN.
Yes!! I found a new website to use :-)
I just hope if you can add dark-mode, I use hackernews essential which adds dark mode and more features which I really like in hackernews, Perhaps something like this can be added but overall I really like it!
You have (essentially) just made something which I imagined 2 years ago:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41789661: Ask HN: Are you interested in a Hacker News alternative which doesnt focus on AI (Oct 9 2024)
My point, which has only grown to an even larger degree is that Hackernews has too many AI discussions, which both feels a bit fomo to me and also I am seeing AI generated blog posts and comments now on Hackernews as well.
At some point, I want a website where I can talk about the more human aspects, some occasional AI mention is fine but not if a quarter or half of front page is hackernews and some genuinely nice projects don't get the attention :(
I had joined hackernews to read those content pieces and fell in love with the human discussion aspect but now there are definitely moments of browsing hackernews which makes me feel as to what I had written in the ask HN
my last line within the ask HN was: I just want people who don't want the latest ai hype to gather around and discuss some other cool things which are "not" AI. This kind of fits into that
Adding my submissions of blog-posts into it in sometime :) See you there!
Nice project
perfect.
This is silly.
RSS readers exist. Feed a Fever was even better.
I will be that guy: how is this different from HN? Or the many niche subreddits that already do this? I am seriously asking.
To me, it seems like a poor version of subreddits with HN shell to wash it down.
Now please build a frontpage for all the frontpages on blogs

super dope. now make it infinite scroll and put ads all over the place! /s
Funny timing — I tried to submit my own Show HN today for a small Linux app I've been building and got blocked because my account is too new. Spent the afternoon reading through HN threads to build up some karma instead. Feels like the indie software equivalent of the same problem this project is trying to solve — it's getting harder for small, genuine projects to find an audience without gaming some system first. Appreciate what you've built here!
Great job.
Submitted my blog.
