I made https://blogdb.org/ https://blogdb.org/ to collect blogs from around the Internet, it gets an RSS feed of the blogs. I posted a Show HN about it yesterday that didn't get much traction.
The code is all open source, at https://github.com/symkat/BlogDB/ https://github.com/symkat/BlogDB/ and I wrote an article on my own blog about initially writing the software from design to deployment: https://modfoss.com/building-blogdb.html https://modfoss.com/building-blogdb.html
- ms123 5y agoVery nice! I did something similar with https://nightfall.city https://nightfall.city
- symkat 5y agoThanks, that's pretty neat!
- onli 5y agoAh, the discovery angle. I didn't think of that. Looks like a nice project, and it shows what RSS can help build. Fits well I think.
- symkat 5y agoThank you! I'm thrilled people are finding it useful!
- HeckFeck 5y agoDelighted to see that BlogDB is written in Perl! I've submitted my blog to this directory/aggregator. Sites like these are indispensible for strengethening the independent Web.
- symkat 5y agoThank you! I'm a huge fan of Perl too, looks like your blog is listed now!
- u2077 5y agoBookmarked, thanks for the great resource. One minor thing: The preview images take up a lot of space on mobile, I have to scroll forever just to look through all the options. Perhaps the preview could be text only at least on smaller screens?
