As you can see, the directory currently has only a handful of entries. I need your help to grow it. If you have a personal website, I would be glad if you shared it here. If your website is hosted on a web space where you have full control over its design and content, and if it has been well received in past HN discussions, I might add it to the directory. Just drop a link in the comments. Please let me know if you do not want your website to be included in the directory.
Also, I intend this to be a community maintained resource, so if you would like to join the GitHub project as a maintainer, please let me know either here or via the IRC link in the README.
By the way, see also 'Ask HN: Could you share your personal blog here?' - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36575081 - July 2023 - (1014 points, 1940 comments). In this post, the scope is not restricted to blogs though. Any personal website is welcome, whether it is a blog, digital garden, personal wiki or something else entirely.
You should automate this, maybe drive all of these content from a json file and accept PRs.

I sometimes blog about Mega Drive / Genesis stuff or modern things I find interesting :)
Recently revamped my theme and trying to write more so this post must be the universe telling me to keep it up :)
I also use webmentions. I'll link to ya'll.

I recently redesigned my personal website to mimic Earth’s layers and also started blogging. Thanks for putting this together, I love browsing through unique personal websites!
thanks for taking this on!
My blog, random side projects.
Some others: https://samwho.dev https://www.nicchan.me
Lots of projects, ranging from embedded systems to DIY CAD software and GPU algorithms.
Made in wordpress over a decade ago, and wordpress gradually enshittified. It's been a long-running wish to switch to something else, but it's never been important enough relative to other things I could be doing.
https://shielddigitaldesign.com/
Mostly just stuff I try to share about hardware design.
I'll add a PR too!
Most interesting post is probably https://wheybags.com/blog/emperor.html
Come back next week, and that should all be archived (preserving all content and links) and a new site in a completely different direction begun. A pure-CSS 3D space. Lots of handwriting. A synthesised pipe organ. And lots more, over time.
Just waiting on some vendors to patch bugs before I can drop the first set of posts :)
I am writing about security, programming and self-hosting. Lately I was learning some AI. Enjoy + any feedback welcome!
If anyone has any leads on a comment system that isn't a spam magnet and also works acceptably with a static site, I'm all ears.
I have a plan of making it a "proper" webpage with more sub-pages for hobbies and such. But right now its a 90's style page with some info and a lot of links.
Started a personal blog to ring in the new year.
I haven't updated it in a long time. The goal when I built it was that it loaded quickly.
I write blogs with interactive components on research and personal projects.
It's fully open source (MIT) as well. I write and post essays there. Currently making a library.
Peter's Path is my personal endeavour to live a life of purpose through hiking, reading, and embracing the beauty of nature, faith, and ideas.

Nothing special about my website. Hosted on Neocities, made with Jekyll. I still need to update my repo for it, but every time I do I think about trying to write up a SSG.
I think I've done this like 3 times now.
The one thing I'm proud of are all the themes! My favorite is Windows98.
https://contraption.co - personal blog
I don't update it often but I have a blog post with a project. I hope to do more blogging this year, and add more to it.
https://blog.yakkomajuri.com -- blog about tech and startups
My personal site where I blog about technology leadership and CTO/VP Eng experiences.
It made it to #9 of the top 100 personal websites on HN for 2025. https://refactoringenglish.com/tools/hn-popularity/?start=20...
I've written a small handful of articles, with the most interesting one being about writing a state-of-the-art AVX2 Perlin Noise implementation, which improved on the then-SOTA by 1.8x
Is my personal site. I've only recently started doing some writing, I'd like to do more this year. I should probably add an RSS feed.
I use it as a digital scrapbook of pictures, projects etc rather than a blog.
I clicked on a random sample of the links posted here and really enjoyed seeing the diversity of things people post about and the variety of designs the sites have.
Try clicking around, moving the mouse, scroll wheel, or refreshing the page.
https://binarymax.com (very outdated, but still up with hopes to revive)
I've been really inspired to blog more thanks to HN. -- not much, but it's a start.
https://fieldtheories.blog <- Blog
It's just an introduction to me and where I work/what I do. So bioinformatics, simulation software, and HPC. I was going to start a blog but then realized that's more effort than I want to put in ;)
Ancient and needs updating
(woefully out of date, unfortunately)
had it since 2012 or 2013. did small redesign recently
Also has a partial interface to my gopher server on the same machine:
gopher.petergarner.net
Nothing to read.
Vibe coded in 3.5 hrs (content was older, natch), wrote a block-based, WYSIWYG block based CMS from scratch to power it.
Hoping to blog more this year.
Happy browsing/linking!
p.s. I'm looking for a job
https://expatcircle.com/ Preparing you Today for the World of Tomorrow – Protect your Freedom and your Assets!
Small side project.
Also includes a small, 1-day vibe coded Django Hackernews clone, a mixture of Hackernews and RSS Reader. With dual language support.
I probably need to throw some polish on it but I'm not a good UI designer and don't care for visual fluff
Well, technically the website is built with Nix and CSS, no manual HTML written though ;)
> UPDATE: It is going to take a while to go through all the submissions and add them. If you'd like to help with the process, please send a PR directly to this project: https://github.com/hnpwd/hnpwd.github.io
If only there was a language that could run in all of our browsers, maybe even easily executable via some Quake-like console window that could open next to the website, that could just grab all visible URLs within some specific parts... Oh well ;)
Recently redesigned it with SvelteKit/Rust and some cool shaders.

I'm a turntablist and scratch DJ, been running my site since 2006. I mix and dj mainly old rave stuff and old hip hop. I'm oldskool in that i like to provide free mp3 and even flac versions of my mixes, and I don't just rely on another walled garden type service.
I don't update that site as frequently as i should.
But i'm planning to add a lot more music to it later this year and maybe some video/visual mixes which I've been working on.
Just a little bit of everything. Some tabletop RPGs on there, notes on various subjects, some artwork, etc.
I've had one entry on the front page, 2 years ago now.
my blog with a few posts that have been on HN front page (eg [0]), but under my old domain davnicwil.com which unfortunately was poached after I accidentally let it lapse. Doh.
I built it almost entirely from scratch using Luau and a custom templating language. Database is all SQLite :3
Always wish it had more, but priorities shift over time!
I’ve been having a lot of fun with the site in the last year-or-so. I’ve had a personal site for well over a decade now, but this is the iteration I like the most. Probably because this is the first time I’ve just built a playground for myself, and not tried to conform to what a site “should” be.
More infrastructure than content, but in principle it’s capable of hosting Go packages, complete with a simple issue tracker and code review system. I use it myself to stream notifications from multiple sources (GitHub and Gerrit).
I also have a work one at https://www.rosshartshorn.com/ but that is really just a single page.
Here's my modest contribution:

Your feedback is more than welcome!
(Oh and here's "Loulou",my static site generator: https://github.com/julien-blanchard/Loulou)
Nothing special, just mostly a list of stuff that I've worked on in terms of my research interests.
I built a Q&A style blog about cruising, with an initial focus on Disney Cruise Line. We're heading out on our first family cruise, and I had a lot of very specific questions. LLM answers were usually close, but often missed important nuances, so I ended up digging through countless Reddit threads and forum posts to piece together reliable answers.
I started collecting those answers for my own reference, which gradually turned into a public blog. The funny part is that the posts themselves will probably end up as training data for future LLMs, closing the loop.
I should probably get around to making an update or two, but alas it's the dark part of the year and my inspiration is running on fumes.
I have written from scratch an SSG and used my website to dogfood it. A lot of it is/was experimenting and learning how web works bottom up, so it is rough around the edges nearly everywhere, but practically everything is my own work - both the website and the way it is built.
I have a lot of ideas on how the website can be made better, but there is always way more things to do than time to actually do the things...
I like to keep it simple.

What remains of my personal site that I've been messing with since about 1998.
As the home page says: Thousands of works, hundreds of thousands of pages, hundreds of millions of words. Freely accessible to all.
I'm a software architect with 23 years of professional experience, mainly in C#/.NET environments, and I currently lead a development team. Over the years, my focus has shifted from purely technical excellence to the human side of software development: communication, decision-making, responsibility, and sustainable performance. In parallel to my tech career, I trained as a licensed psychological counsellor and supervisor in Austria, Vienna. Today, I work with individuals and teams on topics like leadership, mental load, clarity in roles, burnout prevention, and turning reflection into action, especially in complex, high-responsibility environments such as software teams. My work bridges structured engineering thinking with psychological depth and practical implementation.

I only have one blog post, it's effectively a host for my resume and there's a lot of work to do to make it nicer. For one, while I'm trying to convey an aesthetic with the three.js-powered background, it is _not_ performant on some devices. Choosing a SPA architecture in order to keep the background seamless is also biting me in the butt. From an SEO perspective, for example, I can't implement proper OpenGraph metadata on the blog posts since crawlers don't execute JS.
I'm happy though. I'm excited to make it a long-lived shrine.
I write about computer graphics, rendering and Unity! Sometimes other stuff

Thank you for making this thread btw. Gonna be quite useful for me as well since I run a few blog related side projects and I might end up contacting quite a few of the people on this thread.
Occasionally some post makes the front page.
Systems architecture blog. About 10 articles on offline-first design, constraint-driven architecture, and distributed systems thinking. Decades of experience across IoT, infrastructure, and field operations. Just launched, but building thoughtfully. Would appreciate inclusion if it fits your criteria.

I do some writing then delete it. It's more for personal notes and context. It also front ends a lot of services I self host which are not necessarily linked or crawlable.
I write there about anything which interests me. My site is written in Markdown and an mkfile builds it using Pandoc. There is even an atom feed for my diary entries. Also generated using Pandoc!

I'm long overdue adding something, work has been keeping me occupied of late.
New year, new website to keep it simple.
I'll write more this year, I promise
I blog about my journey with music, electronic music production, and single-sided deafness.
My personal site and blog
my personal page :)
Https://errorstates.com
- Academic: www.bgoncalves.com
- Consulting: www.data4sci.com
- Substack: data4sci.substack.comMy personal blog, I normally post about maths and computer science. But sometimes random design things, or bits about linguistics and words.
I made it purely to easier add LUTs to my photos while on the phone.
Not much on there, but hey, something's better than nothing!
After years of neglect, I updated the theme, translated all pages to Portuguese and finally posted something new. I hope to continue this and maybe start making it an habit.
https://wikilangs.org - A bunch of cool language playgrounds I'm working on
Some articles have been well-received here and certainly resulted in good discussion!
I write to poison AI with my ideas. Mostly about software development. And being human in a computer world. I'm a Staff Engineer... I make games on the side.
This is pretty new, and I'm still trying to figure out what it will be. For the moment it's a blog, and it's mostly my astrophotography work, with some random code and nostalgia thrown in.
Planning to start writing more about two of my current projects.
You can put this in your directory
Small time, bit of a mishmash of content, but might be interesting to a few people.
Definitely a playground for whatever I find interesting, mainly game-related topics
Goal for the year is to post every two weeks
I post infrequently here.
https://www.sciencemadness.org/whisper/
Check out the library too (this started before Google Books, Internet Archive, and Hathitrust were offering scans):
https://library.sciencemadness.org/library/index.html
The site performance has intermittently suffered a lot from badly behaved crawlers, so if it's slow when you visit I apologize in advance. (Edit: current load average on server is 63. Ugh.)
I have another much more active account here but Sciencemadness so easily reveals my IRL identity that I don't mention this site on the other account.
Currently just hosts my blog. I mainly like how my name fully fits in the URL.
I have an endless list of blog posts to write and so little time :(
Technology, engineering and a few other tidbits. Need to update it a bit further though!
i make and do things
Inactive: Blog - https://collantes.us/
Love my domain, site is pretty average, mainly just a resume if I need.
https://github.com/lb-/website - the code, with an issue to rewrite this yet again in a different framework one day haha.
Haven't updated it in ages but I've got a couple ideas in my head, so that might change soon.
I write occasionally for my own pleasure and enjoyment.
Full of WIPs, reach out if you find something interesting ^^
I still need to map a domain. I used to maintain a personal blog years ago, but let it expire. I just recently created this new one.
Yes, really.
You can include it in the db
I have self hosted on nfsn since 2011 with the same freebsd instance.
Personal website, built from Svelte.
Thanks!
I would share my personal website which I owned for 25+ years, but AWS deregistered it because of $36.
In case you use AWS as a registrar, be warned: If your account is "closed", they will release your domains. In other words, they make them available as if they were expired. Immediately.
Short summary: I consolidated my domains at AWS years ago just to make it easier to manage everything from one spot. Earlier last year, my credit card I used for auto payments didn't have the $18 I pay for monthly costs. I didn't notice, until my email stopped working because my account was "suspended" due to non payment after a couple months.
When AWS suspended the account, they turned off DNS routing which I managed from Route 53, so not only did my websites stop working, so did my email account (which had DNS entries to route to Gmail).
So I went to log in to pay my bill, but in the time since I had last signed in, AWS had added two factor authentication. But since I couldn't get my email, I couldn't log in. Quiz: How does one pay AWS if you can't log into your account? You cant. How do you submit a ticket? Create a new account, submit a ticket about the old account from there (you still can't pay). And then wait. And then send in a notarized form plus forms of identity. It took over a two months to resolve. Meanwhile, my account went from suspended to "closed".
I put that in quotes because when I was finally able to get my log in working, my account was as it was before with all data and setup intact.
Except for all my domains.
They had been deregistered, despite having paid for years more. AWS cancelled and released my domains without my permission. They actively deleted them from the register list, so anyone out there could buy them.
russellbeattie.com was no longer mine. In addition to the other 6 domains I used.
Because of the SEO of my personal blog, some asshole had added my domain to an "add/drop" service, so it was instantly snapped up and is now used as a scam website. They also have access to all my email, which I've used for everything from Apple to Microsoft to Google and more.
So, I'd love to share my blog with you, but Amazon screwed me so badly it's incredible.
tl;dr: Don't use AWS as your registrar.
I probably put a lot of effort into making it look nice. Now that I think about it, it was a waste of time after all...
Not very thoroughly populated but here's another one for the pile
