I’ve made a collection of my favorite personal websites not long ago here:

The core idea is to make it easy to capture page content, highlights and images and everything will be formatted as Markdown and is easily editable in a performant little editor window.
Then from there, I’m working on multiple export services like Clipboard export and popular PKM apps like Obsidian, Roam Research, Capacities etc.
I wonder how the wiggle animation is implemented in for the buttons and modal.
Always looking forward to read the next chapter.
For example: Music is not only about how good it sounds. But also a lot about who the singer is. Their history. What they stand for and what story is behind a album or song.
With AI, I don’t see that we will ever reach that dimension. Expect maybe when AI becomes sentient?
As mentioned in another comment, I think it's sad if one writes an amazing article but it stays unrecognized or gets little traction simply because the title was a bad choice.
But at the same time, we have lived long enough with clickbait to know it works (unfortunately), and this shouldn't become a place where people are lured into low-quality posts.
Otherwise I push it into the future and it never happens.
Happy that I found some time this week.
At least for this post, I made sure to post it in the afternoon. To have an overall between Eurpean and US time. (I'm based in near Amsterdam)
I tried to reflect on some lessons from this, because I learned from the experience that small things (e.g. the title) can make large differences.
Which means that often good ideas or nice articles might get unrecognized, because they lack a good "packaging".
Making sure those things are on point helps.
But that should be it.
I'm curious: What are your favorite personal websites and blogs?
