Nice. I've been so burnt out seeing the same type of content for certain topics I follow. This looks like a promising tool for finding fresh new info.

OP here, I'm glad you liked it! I definitely discovered a lot of interesting people blogging while sourcing the data. Hope you find something cool inside :)

I liked the idea, but I'm expecting the home page to be more like "https://bloggingfordevs.com/trends/" with a link or banner link or something to the stuff it's at home today; at least having the links to trends at first instead of need to moving to the bottom to see them. I'm afraid some colleagues didn't found out and just kept on the first page.

You directly go to dark mode ;) it's more popular I known; I like to suggest a light mode; maybe you can read it from the system like StackOverflow.

I remember the days of Joel Spolsky, Elliot Rusty Harold, Bruce Eckel, et al. Who are today's luminaries?

I remember Joel too. Especially also the forums where you could get in contact with (among others) industry leaders.

One of today's (tech) luminaries? For me it's Scott Hanselman. Always worth reading, even if you're not particularly on the Microsoft stack.

Yeah it's kinda meant to be like its own mini site. But if you click the logo at the top, it does take you to the root homepage :)

Adding a light mode is on the backlog, thanks for the suggestion! I need to remove a few hard-coded CSS values first ;)

I like the concept but the curation would have to be done ruthlessly by experts, otherwise you'll get the same SEO optimized garbage we find on google. To see Machine Learning Mastery at the top doesn't inspire confidence in your curation process. It's a blog that's emblematic to me of low quality content pumped out for SEO purposes.

thanks for your feedback (OP here). yeah it's tough, i try to give anyone a chance to rank who has more than just a few posts. what I didn't expect about that site is that it gets shared A LOT on twitter. still trying to refine the algorithm :) thanks a ton for checking it out and sharing your feedback!

Perhaps there could be a ranking that takes posting frequency into account, and lets people decide whether they want to see higher- or lower-volume blogs.

Perhaps not a straight ascending or descending by frequency. For me, the sweet spot seems to be no more than once a month. More if it's one that does something like a weekly post aggregating interesting articles from other blogs.
