Show HN: 100kb – an opinionated feed of personal blogs

#1

Post by danhilltech »

Hi HN! This is a personal project I finally got round to completing and shipping.

It’s a simple feed of articles written by real people with interesting things to say.

I wanted to explore some new technologies I haven't had a chance to try before, mostly rust and LLMs.

As I browse HN each day I find myself most drawn to the content on personal blogs: people who have interesting things to say, from their own point-of-view, on a whole range of topics. Rather than being interested in particular topics, I’m more interested in reading from interesting people.

This isn't a particularly new idea, there's been plenty of similar projects shared on HN and on the internet (Kagi Search, Marginalia, Bearblog etc). But, I don't think personal projects need to be revolutionary to be useful (to me at least).

It's open source here https://github.com/danhilltech/100kb.golang

Obvs I approve this message since I (currently) feature on the first page!

Thanks! I actually read your note on `use Cache-Control max-age HTTP headers for a "do not poll again before" time: savings of 10x or much more are likely if the feed server is set up well: an unnecessary feed poll avoided entirely is the cheapest kind!` and realized I don't currently, so adding that tonight.

Can you make "Total Feeds: 17162" clickable so we can see the list? Can you make it so when I click a domain it shows me all the posts from that domain? Can you put the github link on the site as well? (I only saw it in your Show HN post)

Great ideas, will do!

Hurrah! Thanks!
