I collect links to small and notable websites here. It's like 90% blogs:

https://memex.marginalia.nu/links/bookmarks.gmi

I think we've gotten curiously bad at linking to other websites in the last 20 years. It's really bad for discoverability. I don't know why it is, it's like everyone goes "oh, i've got a precious visitor at last, better not link anywhere so they'll stick around forever!"

I think if my website contains interesting links, it makes people more likely to come back later, because they associate it with good feelings of discovery, and not bad feelings of being trapped.

I have one at: https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/

I've been at it for over 6 years and there's around 350 posts. It's a mixture of written blog posts and YouTube videos. The general focus is on building and deploying web applications as well as dev environment tweaks. Basically everything I encounter as a developer.

Here are mine:

- https://franz.hamburg

- https://www.project-daily.com

Some blogs I follow via RSS (using the awesome NetNewsWire app):

- https://brendangregg.com

I'll bite and submit mine. Las year, during lockdown, I read the Rolling Stone 100 greatest metal albums list. As I was stuck at home most of the time and had nothing better to do I decided to listen to all 100 albums and write my thoughts on each one. I originally posted them to Facebook, but as Facebook is a crap environment to write longer form content I wrote each one into a text note and pasted it to Facebook when I had finished writing it. When I had finished I thought it would be good to put them into a blog so it would be easier to revisit them later if I wanted to.

Here's mine: https://learnbyexample.github.io/ (mostly about regex and cli one-liners)

Here's some lists of blogs (mostly programming oriented):

I dont regularly follow blogs as often as I should, but I always recommend this one to people interested

I think https://micro.blog is worth checking out as well. Manton Reece has done some really great work trying to support the indie web.
