Very interesting! Thanks for sharing your project here. Out of curiosity, I did some searches with some interesting strings. At the time of posting this comment, here is what the search results look like:
Vim: 8 entries

Python: 24 entries
Rust: 24 entries
Lisp: 5 entries
Clojure: 3 entries
Haskell: 5 entries
Zig: 5 entries
Elixir: 4 entries

thought: 49 entries

musing: 12 entries
blag: 1 entry
favorite: 28 entries
favourite: 9 entries
Now all of these results are string search results, so there is always going to be a little bit of noise when we try to draw conclusions out of these results. For example, the results for ".dev" also contains results that look like "*dev*.com".
Despite the noise, I found these results interesting. I remember in the early days when the blogosphere was being constructed 20 km above the tag clouds, it was very fashionable to have blogs for random musings or random thoughts. So I am delighted to see that most blogs out here are tech blogs. Surprisingly there is only blag. I expected at least a few more.
One of the Lisp entries is mine. Also, one of the Vim entries is mine. It is a bit ironical because I am actually an Emacs user. If I had known the comments we write on HN would become part of the search string in this blogroll, I might have chosen my words in my comment to the "Ask HN" port more judiciously! :)
- boricj 3y agoreverse engineering: 5 entries Ghidra: 1 entry (mine) On one hand it does bring some level of perspective on the popularity of a particular topic you're into. My first reaction was "Just 0.5% for reverse-engineering? I guess I'm down in a deep dark rabbit hole..." On the other hand, I haven't seen the blogs of Ken Shirriff, Alex Ionescu or Raymond Chen on that list, which I know are quite popular and regularly make it to the Hacker News front page.
