This made me think of "planets", which I feel had a heyday back in the late 2000s before Reddit and social media took over everything. Anyone want to take all the blogs with RSS/Atom feeds and build an HN planet? :)

- ploum 3y agoYeah, planet were awesome. I’m proud to say that my blog was both on planet.gnome (the original one) and planet.ubuntu. Now, I feed that the most interesting planet is planet.debian, which offers lot of variety without being focused on Debian. The great feature I liked was that Planet were not about a given project. It was about the people contributing to the project. Their life. Their interests. At some point, lot of planets started to ask only "on-topic" posts with a specific RSS feeds. Those planets became boring as it was mainly stuffs you could find on forum or any tech related websites.
