This is great! Just a tip - add meta tags to your page so it shares nicer (I just shared on Twitter and there was no preview)

These tags are super easy to make, Google “SEO Meta Tags” or “Social Sharing Meta Tags” to learn how

They make you look much more professional. Also if you open source it, we can tag it up for you. Can also beat it to shit and get it performant

Thanks! I added them. Image is a bit ugly, but I will work on that.

Did you add og and Twitter tags? I just shared your link again and no preview

Very cool!

On “blogs” page, links to blogs don’t work when light mode is active.

Thanks! Fixed now.

Is the same source with https://engineeringblogs.xyz/?

Looks cool, but no. I parse RSS feeds from the blogs by myself.

I believe that's what they use for [Quastor](https://www.quastor.org) (email newsletter that sends summaries of big tech engineering blogs)

That and also the Github Awesome list - https://github.com/kilimchoi/engineering-blogs

Very nice!

I was almost surprised to see no GPT3.5 summaries lol (I think this might be the next trend for curation sites)

This an awesome idea, thanks! I'm planning to add tags first, and after that short summaries.

Links seem broken for me? Some kind of typescript error.

Can you show a screenshot, please?

UPD: Should be fixed now

Yep, fixed for me.

Is it open source? How can we add an engineering blog to the list?

It's not. Please, send an email to hi@devblogs.co.

why does headline use only half the screen width on mobile, which is already very narrow in usual portrait orientation

He built the feed okay, he never said he worked at these companies

It's not his website? What has layout of his website to do with other companies?

I have increased the size of the container. But it's still too narrow on the mobile, I will work on that over the weekend. Thanks for the feedback!

Nice this is cool!

where find the OPML with the feeds?

I find blogs by myself and parse their RSS feeds.

And so.. how's the content?

Can you elaborate please?

What is the motivation for a tech company to publish such posts? How would you rate the quality or content of these tech company blog posts?

I don't know their motivation, but most of the tech companies have their own blogs, and I just parse their RSS feeds. I'm leaving rating of the content quality to a reader.

Probably works as a way to attract talent
