You may enjoy sites like Minifeed[1], Kagi's SmallWeb[2] and Wiby[3]. These are some neat sites that let you discover random blogs and personal sites and are very fun to sift through and read something interesting. Since we're self-promoting, feel free to check out my blog too :) https://popcar.bearblog.dev/ [1]: https://minifeed.net/ [2]: https://kagi.com/smallweb [3]: https://wiby.me/

Thank you!

My blog on emacs [1] is perhaps a bit too niche if you dislike emacs? I do write a lot about tree sitter, structured editing and movement in programming languages on it also. [1] www.masteringemacs.org

One day, I will finally understand emacs, and then we can probably get a cup of virtual coffee

Reddit does a good job surfacing quality content, especially in the domain of art and design. There's several science and space subreddits as well. Very few ppl can blog consistently enough to warrant an RSS feed -- you need an aggregator of some kind.

Reddit also got too sensationalist for me. Sure, everyone tells me 'choose the right subs', 'trick the algo, make it work for you', but I shouldn't have to, right?

Still new to HN, not sure if we can edit posts here

Just wanted to thank everyone for your responses, I tried replying to everyone but damn you all are such a generous bunch!

I am just thinking - why can't we solve this issue? Article discovery? Anyone have anything they are working on?

Have you tried reading books instead? Shaping thoughts typically takes a lot of time, and blogs may not be the best medium to find interesting information.

Agree with this - you lose maybe some of the moment in a book but you normally make up for it in depth if the writer is talented. Too much of the blog world is driven by current events as they constantly have to product to maintain readership.

I was hoping for more content that is not time constrained, like say eyeondesign, aeon.co, etc

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not really blogs. More like HN alternatives.

If someone scraped those for the sites that are posted and arranged based on number of submissions, comments, upvotes etc. and layer on a bit of ML to classify then you'd have a reasonable blog directory. OP would probably benefit if people posted their OPML files but that does feel a bit personal.

Even if not based on popularity, I do think HN would be a great source to find URLs, from where we can continue crawling

Do you have any web crawling specialists I could speak with? Happy to write the code, just don't want to overload any servers
