Nice job. A small suggestion, unless I completely missed it, an option to filter by post / blog language.

Great feedback. I will add search to this minimal version. The non-minimal version comes with search. Filter by language is something neither has and will be a great addition.

This is great. I'm curious what's your vision on adding comments?

If you're referring to comments on the website, I plan to keep it minimal (the text version is a static site).

If you're referring to comments on blogs in general, I have many thoughts. Back in the day, comments used to be how you connected with people and let other people find you. It also came with spam (spam plugins could only do so much).

With the rise of static site generators, most people don't have comments on their blogs now. It is something I miss though.

Great job. Submitted my blog.

Thank you. I approved your blog. Quick note: It looks like your feed items don't have published date which makes it hard to store and sort recent posts.

Can't find it.

Okay, you mean the RSS feed?

Incredible that we are regressing back to webrings and hand-curated lists like this, both of which I remember well. That's not a criticism! I guess that the quality-drop in search wasn't quite enough to make it happen, but the advent of AI content predomination will be.

Similarly, I feel like book publishers are about to become a thriving business soon again. With any book being most likely just a bot creation, trusting "Random House" sounds like a thing more of us will start paying attention to to make sure we're buying a human made thing.
