I made something like with a similar aesthetic a few years ago but themed after win95 (which seems to be hardly unique these days). But it had a secret gimmick where aspects of it were implemented with in terms of itself (mostly, file icons could be edited within app and you could see them update on the desktop).
I had grand plans for it but they never eventuated.
I had the same concept for mine but it is Mac OS X Tiger (iOS on mobile breakpoints).

Amazing work on this website! It encourages exploration and navigating the folders to see all the content.
I clicked the link and assumed that you must have been using some JS OS UI library because of how nice it was.
This is impressive!

This would be nice for Bluesky. I deleted my account on Twitter after it turned into a hellscape.
Do you keep geese?
I noticed that tree sizes go to 200 if you put nonsense on the field (text emoticon etc).
I have kept ducks (meat) and chickens (eggs) at various times, but I ate all the ducks and I gave away the chickens just last month. Unfortunately free ranging chickens have been very destructive to my gardening, and I am trying to make the 2nd largest rose garden in NH, so that goal has priority.
thanks
If you click on it the scene creates more objects by the way. And if you right-click and drag you can move them around.
It's a simple "business card" page built with Angular and 98.css.
Been thinking of upgrading to plain vanilla js, xp.css and maybe some static site generation or CMS thingy for blog posts
I kinda love the intentional dithering on the photos though.

You should automate this, maybe drive all of these content from a json file and accept PRs.

I'm not a great designer, but I've tried to capture the who, what and jump off points for reading my writing as well as I could. Always impressed by the creativity and soul many other folks seem able to put into their personal homepages!
Thank you for sharing all these years.
I'll be happy if any of it was helpful :)
This is probably a "me" problem for assuming otherwise (you even have HN in your URL), but it's not what I expected from a post asking people to share their personal websites.
edit: judging by the number of personal website links posted here that do not meet that criteria, it appears I was not the only one with the wrong impression.
Yes, I was not entirely happy with the restrictive wording either. The original requirement was added mainly out of concern about spam submissions (blogspam, AI-generated content and similar). But the quality of submissions has been surprisingly good and I am genuinely delighted by the number of interesting websites I have came across in the last few hours.
So I have gone ahead and removed the overly restrictive criteria language.
> Was hoping it would be a way to stumble upon potentially underrepresented content from folks in the hacker news community who don't normally get attention.
Yes, that was exactly my intention as well. Thanks for raising this concern. It gave me the push to update the README and make the intent clearer.
I mentioned in a sibling thread that this requirement was originally added out of caution, mainly to discourage spam submissions. It no longer seems necessary, and I was not entirely happy with it either, so I have removed it now. Thanks for the discussion here, which prompted me to drop the restrictive requirement.
There's also geekring.net that is similar, and a few others that are still actively updated.
I still prefer WebRings for finding good personal sites, it has that old-web "exploration and discovery" type feeling that makes it actively satisfying to find new sites.
Everyone think of a number between 0~9, put it in a bracket (so that it's search-friendly), and add it to their post, e.g. "[7] check out my example.com".
Readers of this thread are then encouraged to search for a random number between 0~9, search for it (e.g., "[5]") via browser, do a few "find next" (just to randomize), and then visit as many results as they enjoy.
The site covers mostly retro- and classic computing. (Strictly no AI generated content.) Here in convenient format:
(
:name "Norbert Landsteiner"
:site "https://masswerk.at/"
:blog "https://masswerk.at/nowgobang/"
:feed "https://masswerk.at/nowgobang/feed.xml" //covers blog only
:about "https://masswerk.at/info/" //legal info
:hnuid "masswerk"
:bio "web developer and designer, site content is mostly retro- and classic computing."
)Actually a bit of an issue, its so capable, I actually have difficulty justifying a downloadable alternative, even though I'd prefer to have a local copy due to the untrustworthiness of web apps over time.
Thank you so much for your work.

I made this about 5 years ago with just html and a-frame. The cms is an inline json file. It has aged really well!
Some parts of it are in French, typically the teaching section, which is primarily aimed at my students.
My blog (in French) is at https://p4bl0.net/. It's a new version that's live since 2021 but this domain has been hosting my blog since 2006. I had a blog before that but the hosting service I used has long been dead.
My blog runs on Dotclear (a very good open source PHP+MySQL blog engine) with a homemade theme.
My website runs on a hand written static site generator made of a Makefile and Bash scripts relying on the xml2 and 2xml commands, and coreutils in between them (especially sed). Those are automatically executed by a Git hook on my server to update the website on push. It's been like this since the beginning so I have the full history of my website's version back up to 2008 (I'm not even sure GitHub Pages were a thing back then!). It's fun to sometimes go back and see how it looked like almost 20 years ago.
I strongly oppose writing with LLMs and think it's more important than ever to write with our own words. If my writing is to be better than LLMs I need to hone it by writing more.
I'm proud of the website as well. I have used LLMs to assist with the UI dev. It has all 100s from PageSpeed. I've made it so it's easy to add pages within. All the books I've read in the last few years [1] and a minimalist gym tracker I use myself (any anyone can too!).

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.
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.

Context: I started from an existing Bootstrap gallery template and stripped it down to the bare minimum. The site is static with all the sorting and grouping done client-side. Images are just files in a folder, with metadata in a JSON file. Adding a new piece is just dropping in an image and updating the JSON. It’s hosted on GitHub Pages with a cheap domain from Namecheap.

I wish I’d written more. This site is almost 20 years old now. I bought the domain using a friend’s credit card because I didn’t have one back then and there was no other way to purchase online.

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 have been maintaining it for a few years, though not very actively.
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 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.
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.

currently working on a redesign and would love to hear your feedback:
I started my website in 2001, writing a lot of it, much of which is pretty embarrassing later in life, but I kept almost all of it. More often than not, I go back to read them and laugh.
In some weird way, I also feel an obligation to keep them alive for as long as I can, so that the websites linking back to mine are not greeted with a 404. I cannot disappoint the likes of Wikipedia, USA Patents, quite a few other megacorps’ websites, Russian and Chinese websites, and many others who trusted that I’m someone with a mark/presence on the Internet.
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 been slowly evolving it over 10 years. 1.6k stars, ~ 1,000 forks. I originally designed it to be easy to copy, and I've occasionally interviewed someone who forked it for their own site which always makes me happy.
I have made a lot of updates recently now that the age of vibe coding is making templates less useful, but it still is and will be my playground.
Some photos; some philosophy; some book reviews.
The homepage bio and /now page are a little outdated---I've just returned from a three-month trip around Japan, Bali and Australia---but I plan on updating them soon!

a triple-LLM-filtered categorized list of the top resources from this HN topic. (My link-dump website is a trash pile of all the information I’ve ever paid attention to, maybe someday I will need it!)
Kind of a collection of rants, tools, and old projects... largely from before GitHub became a thing.
My site's getting kind of old and creaky, but I update it from time to time.
There's a fair number of articles that were "I ran into this problem at work, so I wrote a blog post about how I fixed it" we just had the amazing upside of having a link to send somebody when they run into the same problem. I've been told by coworkers that they found my posts googling their problems before.
I put together my website to collect all my projects in a single place and occasionally post some random thoughts.
I need to move my personal blog (https://meanderingthoughts.hashnode.dev/) over there still, sadly HN auto flags any submissions from any hashnode domain so I've been unable to submit any of my blog posts for consideration!

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 don't post often, but I think what is there is quite worthwhile. It is whatever I want to write, but topics are typically maths, game theory and cryptography. There are also a few browser games.
The site itself might also be of note to some people as an example of an extremely light hand crafted website.
Let me know :)
Mine is: https://yagmurtas.com
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.
Not that up-to-date (missing some time) to edit. First is non-tech projects (woodworking, leather, ...) Second is more tech-related
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.
https://sonnet.io - personal site
https://potato.horse - mostly art, illustrations I use in my articles
In a recent article I wrote about an ongoing ESP32-based custom smart watch: https://coffeespace.org.uk/projects/smart-watch-v2.html
Hosted on a Raspberry Pi in my office, via Starlink, via a Cloudflare tunnel.
It's mostly jokes, and also a bingo game for The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch and House (https://potateaux.com/skingo/)
Let's find out, what I like.

Btw, https://nownownow.com/ is a great place to discover people. This project is somewhat similar to what you're doing.
I wrote the engine for this so that I can just write bare HTML or Markdown files, put them into the content folder, update the index, and away we go. It also internally uses a JSON replacement I wrote, XferLang, so it's quite an experimental platform.
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.
I'm also the Head of The Institute for Type-Safe Memetic Research which website is https://typememetics.institute/

my blog with random thoughts on very different topics. Most articles started as twitter/X threads but I wanted to give some of them a prermanent self-hosted home.
Original language is german with english translations that are mostly done with claude.

I write about on-device generative models (particularly world models). Past posts have been reasonably well-received on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=madebyoll.in).
The idea is to aggregate weak signals instead of long reviews.

Hi folks!
I'm Miguel. This is my blog I write mainly about programming and side projects.
I've written my own programming language called Grotsky, and it's implemented in Rust. The blog's engine is written with Grotksy and generates static HTML files.
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.
Been blogging on and off for 20 years. Most of the old stuff is on now deleted blogs (which I plan to import back one day!), so this one only has a few recent things, mostly short book reviews so I can remember what I read.
My also out of date but slightly less so page: https://victorliu.neocities.org
Maybe now I will be inspired to actually update these.
https://www.kulman.sk — personal homepage with projects and links (Slovak).
PS: The entire thing is built using Claude Code.
https://ookigame.com - My collection of 200 games I developed over the years using libGDX and threejs
> In this post, the scope is not restricted to blogs though. Any personal website is welcome
Might as well also take links from there, though, right?
Added your website to the directory. Thanks!
Just a showcase for my academic mathematics research and some deep learning focused personal projects.
I built it with Quarto, which is fantastic for building a website containing mathematics or coding with no futzing with CSS or so on.
Established in 2002.
Went full circle: static, PHP+mysql, python+tornado+redis (I had a nosql phase), python+Django+sqlite, and now static again (but this time with a generator, so it is all md).

https://apidex.dev - Some software I'm trying to build
An ever-WIP collection of projects and blog posts.
https://www.hncli.newstackwhodis.com
Website for hncli, a TUI Hacker News reader made in Rust.
I have so many things to write about but I rarely ever finish a post.
This would also be a great time to share my RSS app. https://tuvix.app/
I've been on a bit of a hiatus as we've got a new human to look after, but I do blog here, and intend to blog there once I have the time available again.
Technical blog website -> https://yieldcode.blog/
Probably should unify them... or not...
I haven't had anything interesting to post over time, but glad I bought my domain years ago for various reasons (yikes, 2007 it looks like, 20 years?!). Will try to throw a PR up, young kids keep me busy.
Electronics stuff. Used to be about FPGAs, recently mostly about old test equipment.
Being doing for 8 years now and still going strong. I try to write at least one blog post every 2 months, but it’s usually more than that.
My personal tech lead mentorship site: https://thisisstepup.com/
My personal (+ my friend) free AI librarian site: https://piperead.com/
An obnoxious, neon, myspace-geocities-esque personal service landing page for me and friends (with a blog!).
I hand coded it with a lot of gifs I pulled from geocities archives. And it plays 90's nu-metal!
I mostly write about Scrabble and Scrabble-related tech (CNNs, spaced repetition software, game simulation, and so on). This site is hosted on Cloudflare pages for free and built with Hugo.
But it has fun features like a filter and a responsive fragment shader :)
Only a few posts, hoping to write more as I have started to enjoy the process. Mainly technical posts, but my undergrad is also in finance so I enjoy talking about that as well
It's where I'm exploring the range of products I'm building/testing which gives a bit of context to why I'm interested in certain areas.
P.S. Yes, I'm not a designer. How did you know?
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.
https://appgoblin.info -AppGoblin: mobile SDK and aso marketing, mostly self hosted
i will post within 30 days and i'll try to remember this post, and make sure the simulacra that exists within my head of the hacker news user likely to follow up is not disappointed with the content i put out
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.
It's a Pokémon-style minigame. Past HN discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30656961
An automatically updating portfolio where images are pulled from my Unsplash profile and blog posts from my Medium profile.
It still requires some optimization, as Medium posts are imported without photos.
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 post about personal software as well as little TILs I find through the day. I've set up bash aliases for quickly posting so I can do so from my terminal without interrupting my flow.
I also have a work one at https://www.rosshartshorn.com/ but that is really just a single page.
https://github.com/lbeckman314/lbeckman314.github.io
Excited to check out everyone else's sites here : )
I've been writing tutorials for multiple of my sites through the years (bytexd.com, nooblinux.com, and others), but decided recently I just want a more personal site where I mess around. It's still new though.
A personal blog with a mixture of technical posts and other essays. No AI content.
Every time I write a post I find myself adding little features here and there, which is what I always wanted to be able to do with a blog.
https://duncant.co.uk/velcro - vibe coded game based around my cat Velcro eating sushi
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 ;)
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.
It's the only domain I haven't let expire. It's been many things but now it's a digital garden! Lots of loose threads and random thoughts, all half baked haha.

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.
Also, the guideline of 100+ total votes across five or fewer posts is not a strict rule. It exists mainly to discourage submissions that point to very thin sites with little or no content. I have already made exceptions when a website has interesting content even if it has never been posted on HN or received many upvotes.
Also, a website shared today might not meet the 100+ votes guideline now but could meet it at some point in the future. That is another reason why all personal websites are welcome in this thread. Again, this is only a guideline, not a hard rule. If a site clearly meets the criteria, I can add it quickly and save time. If it does not, I will spend a bit more time checking that it is not spam and that it genuinely has something interesting to offer.
And encouraging 'Any personal website is welcome, whether it is a blog, digital garden, personal wiki or something else entirely' but then saying you're discouraging submissions with little content etc. Who knows what people decided to put on their personal domains, ya know?
Anyways, obviously a ton of ppl just threw in their urls here without much concern so it's up to you what you want to include. Onwards!

Just started blogging again, starting the cadence with a weekly '5 quick links for devs' post just to make sure I'm building the habit.
Mostly an excuse to write a simple template system and play with some self hosting. Hopefully something will come of it soon.

I have a blog, a photo gallery, a personal wiki, a comparison of Enchiridion and Tao Te Ching translations, a collection of tsumego pdfs, and a couple other things.
My personal blog that now has my photography portfolio. It is slowing becoming more photography focused as I continue to obsess about it.
I'm mostly writing about dev nowadays, and random tech stuff I've been doing, but I have a bunch of management posts from when I forayed on the dark side.
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.
To be honest, it's actually more of a game development log, but it's the closest thing I have to a personal website.
It's hosted on an old Linux PC at home.
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.
Our podcast that has been going for 20+ years: https://frontrowcrew.com
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.
Lots of info there about my in-development game, Botnet of Ares, but also some older blog posts about technical topics or other things I found interesting.
personal website, I am writing all kind of stuff, from learning reverse engineering to catching scammers online, developing tools and so on.
Would love bits of feedback for it - trying to toe the line between interesting css + actual usability
It mainly serves as a page to hold contact info and some links to various specific parts of my sites ( blogs, podcast, ...etc. )
My blog. Assorted explorations by a perennial tech amateur. LLMs, TUIs, and Elixir/Phoenix dominated the rabbit-holing in 2025.

I have a few deeper posts that I'm proud of. My favorite is an exploration of battle probabilities in the board game war room.
A simple, customizable, noise-free HackerNews Newsletter (for most upvoted stories) + a catch up page.
Not all that interesting, it has been some time since I added anything. But it's a hand-rolled personal site, which must count for something!
Personal blog from an Engineering Lead. Mostly Tech related, AI, personal projects and just my general thoughts
Personal website. Basically just a place to shove my portfolio, CV, and some random notes I don't want to forget.

Not updated frequently. Mostly personal with a drop of technology. I've been on this hosting provider (hcoop.net) since 2002ish.

It's my personal blog. I try to focus on tech stuff I find interesting but I am thinking to opening it to other topics
I've been working on my writing over the last half year, so there's been a bump in post volume.
The first draft of this site was made for my “websites for journalists” course in college. It’s slowly been evolving since then!
It's been a while since I did something with it but it's my little "notebook" on the internet of me building things.
I got pretty interested in 3d|2d graphics and retro aesthetics 2 years ago.
Personal essays on being a designer, building products for Google, Atlassian and a bunch of startups. Lots of learnings shared.
I write about technology and projects I'm working on. I also keep some posts up-to-date such as my How I Design Systems post.
Been on the front-page of hacker news a few times in the last few years.
Mostly obscure information that I couldn't find answers to anywhere but through trial and error :)
Web because there is also gopher://gopher.navan.dev
I write about whatever I find interesting, averaging around 4-5 posts a year.
Quarto page, so mostly write in Jupyter notebooks or markdown files.
I've written a few things that Hacker News liked, and mostly talk about software engineering in one way or another.
It's a portal to all the sounds I found in the future, which you can stream or download in mp3/wav without any registration or DRM.
My home on the web, and a gentle introduction to topics I get really excited about if you put 3 pints in me.
it's still rough. Working on content only, style will follow later.... anyone wanna help?
I just rebuilt my site and feedback is warmly welcome. There isn't much content yet, but I intend to write more this year.
Mostly mobile and web development, emphasis on monetization, and some cognitive science stuff (before I became a developer)
I built it almost entirely from scratch using Luau and a custom templating language. Database is all SQLite :3
If you like short stories and articles about things that are nuanced - give a visit
Here's mine: https://yehiaabdelm.com
Just a little bit of everything. Some tabletop RPGs on there, notes on various subjects, some artwork, etc.
The body typeface is Griffos, by Manfred Klein. You can read a bit about Manfred here: https://luc.devroye.org/klein.html
I've maintained a very basic homepage for a long time now and I'm using subdomains for projects and other web stuff.
Right now it sucks but I'm creating the new version. Writing always take more time than I anticipate...
Portfolio site and writing that explores Product leadership, UX Design, and the overlap between the two.
Only actual update I do is to change my title / company when I change jobs, otherwise it's just a landing page to link to my GH, LinkedIn, etc. No blogs or anything exciting.
To this day I think it remains the only landing page with extensive use of SVG metaballs as a splitter between sections
Mostly just experimenting with things, as a hobby and a way to delve deeper into new tech - probably lots of glitches.
Stuff going back some ~20 years, along with photos ("Instagram-like") and videos (mostly my motorsports stuff).
https://www.jasonthorsness.com/
My favorite articles to write are on crafts like the below, I just got a Prusa CORE One kit (not put together yet) so next one will probably be something related to that.
Just a place where I put stuff I've created, thoughts I've had and books I've read.
Hand-made generator with zero JavaScript.
Wrote the code myself, self-host at home, am pretty proud of it all.
Lots of things need critiquing in today’s world.
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.
My website with a few blogs post on both personal and professional projects.
Click the ⌘⌥1 on the top right of the terminal or enter it on the keyboard for some fun code golfing.
An attempt to build intuition with interactive articles and experimentation, inspired by explorabl.es
Recently revamped my theme and trying to write more so this post must be the universe telling me to keep it up :)
It's fully open source (MIT) as well. I write and post essays there. Currently making a library.
I must say it's really refreshing to see such a variety of different ideas and page designs.
I sometimes blog about Mega Drive / Genesis stuff or modern things I find interesting :)
I’ve been a software engineer 10 years, I try to write interesting things I’ve not seen other people talk about
Just started maintaining the website from 2026 onwards. I intend to publish on a weekly cadence going forward.
The current version of a site I've been working on since before I knew what a domain was.
Where I share my photography and in the blog section I share my coding projects and ideas.

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.
Personal blog I update every now and then. Mostly infrastructure, networking, and observability stuff.
I’m definable gonna to share the klondike solitaire one around https://ganbaru.games/klondike/

Not writing as much as I wanted to, but nevertheless it‘s my space on the grand scheme of things.
Still trying to figure out a structure I like with it. Evolved from a one page to a few additional ones. Would love insight into your opinions on it.
I will join the chorus of people saying that I need to write more often.
Mostly tech (FOSS) stuff. Plain HTML static site generated by a small golang program.
Simple blog, planning to expand a lot this year (as every year).
I blog about learning Chinese, game development, Ruby on rails and self hosting.
Mostly large scale distributed training and foundation models for science
Small time, bit of a mishmash of content, but might be interesting to a few people.
I've been really inspired to blog more thanks to HN. -- not much, but it's a start.
Writing about AI so far, but who knows. Just started it.
You can include it in the db
I have self hosted on nfsn since 2011 with the same freebsd instance.
Tried multiple times in the past to write regularly but never really sticks.
I made it purely to easier add LUTs to my photos while on the phone.
Personal site, mostly knowledge updates while working on web applications
You can put this in your directory
There's not much, but I keep a few articles and games there.
I'm long overdue adding something, work has been keeping me occupied of late.
Definitely a playground for whatever I find interesting, mainly game-related topics
If I want to update the description, or link, or remove my website from there completely (right to delete), what should I do?
The index is a bit outdated, it’s mostly about me working on my homelab.
Mainly security research and write ups from vulns I've reported.
>Some description of the controls would be great True, i'll add that tomorrow
Also has a partial interface to my gopher server on the same machine:
gopher.petergarner.net
Stuff on CS, Programming, Deep Learning, Physics, Dynamical System, etc.
I try to send semi-regular links of the interesting stuff I read.
A few blog posts and a series of AI Tutorials from my time at CMU Robotics.
Not regularly updated, still. I should try to train some habit of writing, maybe.
I write about computer graphics, rendering and Unity! Sometimes other stuff
I like that it allows us to set different depth levels for the full graph view and the individual note's view.
I write mostly about software and have some links to my projects.
Always wish it had more, but priorities shift over time!
The most basic version, but helps me publish blog posts quickly.
Full of WIPs, reach out if you find something interesting ^^
Coming to you live from the land of pharaohs and belly dancing!!
Personal domain since 2011. Third incarnation, this one in React
Recently redesigned it with SvelteKit/Rust and some cool shaders.
My blog: https://wyounas.github.io.
I’ll also try to submit a PR.
here's mine, simple blog/now/digital garden/link directory, all that fun stuff!
Very interesting site by the way. I would follow it but my social media is limited to RSS.
Plenty of Easter eggs in there: https://nicksmith.software
Built using react, zustand, tailwind, and some other libraries for the genie effect and Mac hover animation, iOS view, etc… Credits are in the readme on GitHub.

My personal site that is a work in progress: https://nicholaspsmith.com
Built in Angular after having been a full time react engineer for the better part of a decade. Man I’m sick of react haha
I'm currently Chief Strategy Officer at a defence-tech startup. Doing some small angel tickets as well :)
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.
There is one post, and I haven't shared it publicly before so that's something!

This is awesome.

Thank you!
I also started a new site for "me-as-a-business" https://kolibia.pl
2025 Berggruen Prize Essay Competition Winners
> On the theme of consciousness, intelligence, and the nature of mind in an age of advancing artificial systems
https://berggruen.org/news/2025-berggruen-prize-essay-compet...
> Honorable Mentions and Shortlisted Essays
> The English-language jury also awarded Honorable Mentions to Ian Reppel and Helen Yetter-Chappell, recognizing their essays for originality, clarity, and thoughtful engagement with the year’s theme.
I knew I recognised the name from somewhere :D
Enough to make a new submit:
The Mind as a City: A Systems View of Consciousness, by Ian Reppel (berggruen.org)
1 point by adityaathalye 1 day ago
> I'm feeling a rather "HN moment"... I found out, because I'd submitted an essay for the 2025 Berggruen Prize Essay competition too (aiming for last place --- no delusions of grandeur here, no siree). They just announced the results, and I'd noticed "Reppel" last night on hnpwd. I'd also submitted my site for hnpwd. And here we are.
Least I can do --- terrific essay!
(And, mine's here: https://www.evalapply.org/posts - "A Consciousness is A Dedekind Cut" ... flight of fancy, but it was a lot of fun researching / thinking / writing.)
(edit: add context, fix link)
It is angular made, and I have so many fun features I'd like to add there.

An automatically updating portfolio where images are pulled from my Unsplash profile and blog posts from my Medium profile. Blog section still requires some optimization, as Medium posts are imported without images.
Here is my blog about data analytics/engineering: datamethods.substack.com
I like to do lots of experiments :)
planning on flipping https://j3s.sh over to it soon
from time to time, I write about things that catch my attention (Robotics, SWE, etc)

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 ;)
That's the easy part. The time consuming part is reviewing each website and ensuring that it is a legitimate personal website and not a commercial website or a startup website or blogspam. There have been a fair number of such submissions that do not qualify. Since this directory is meant to be for personal websites only, we need to review each submission.
If you or anyone else knows a quicker way to process these submissions, determine if they are suitable for this directory, extract the relevant data for each webite and convert them to the data format we need, we would very much appreciate pull requests to <https://github.com/hnpwd/hnpwd>.
By the way, your website was added in <https://github.com/hnpwd/hnpwd/commit/a344c1a> and it is now appears at <https://hnpwd.github.io/>.
Tried for an "obsidian-but-tex" vibe. I hope to make this a life journal someday.
had it since 2012 or 2013. did small redesign recently
Vibe coded in 3.5 hrs (content was older, natch), wrote a block-based, WYSIWYG block based CMS from scratch to power it.

2. Mndnm https://mndnm.io](https://mndnm.io The About page is currently not working. The RSS feature looks like a good addition, though I have not tested it yet.

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.
PS. I am learning Persian. Hoping situation in beautiful Iran normalizes and people get their representative democracy free of IRGC and CIA-Mossad jackboots.
I probably need to throw some polish on it but I'm not a good UI designer and don't care for visual fluff
Technology, engineering and a few other tidbits. Need to update it a bit further though!
I blog about my journey with music, electronic music production, and single-sided deafness.

I'm a Doctor. I'm a Sensei. I'm a Doctor Sensei.
Inspired by: http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com and https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox
I write occasionally for my own pleasure and enjoyment.
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.
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.
RSS feed for not so technical blog at: https://www.kashyapsuhas.com/blog/feed.xml
My personal blog, I normally post about maths and computer science. But sometimes random design things, or bits about linguistics and words.
It pretty much has one post explaining what the blog is (it's a custom system) and why it exists. Enjoy?
Your local guide to Fort Kochi (Kerala) Loved doing this on Ghost CMS!
Not much on there, but hey, something's better than nothing!
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...
That "Where did you go", "Welcome back" is nice touch :D
Www.erosner.com And I also make dog art Www.speako.xyz
