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

Can you show a screenshot, please?
Re:Show HN: I built a feed of engineering blogs from top tec... by ZeroGravitas on Wednesday December 14, 2022 @06:00PM (#33992025)
Yep, fixed for me.

where find the OPML with the feeds?
Re:Show HN: I built a feed of engineering blogs from top tec... by iillexial on Thursday December 15, 2022 @03:29AM (#33996719)
I find blogs by myself and parse their RSS feeds.

Nice this is cool!

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
Re:Show HN: I built a feed of engineering blogs from top tec... by petodo on Friday December 16, 2022 @02:22AM (#34011724)
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!

Very cool!

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

Re:Show HN: I built a feed of engineering blogs from top tec... by iillexial on Thursday December 15, 2022 @03:45AM (#33996840)
Thanks! Fixed now.

Is it open source? How can we add an engineering blog to the list?
Re:Show HN: I built a feed of engineering blogs from top tec... by iillexial on Thursday December 15, 2022 @03:28AM (#33996708)
It's not. Please, send an email to [email protected].

Is the same source with https://engineeringblogs.xyz/?
Re:Show HN: I built a feed of engineering blogs from top tec... by iillexial on Thursday December 15, 2022 @03:27AM (#33996703)
Looks cool, but no. I parse RSS feeds from the blogs by myself.
Re:Show HN: I built a feed of engineering blogs from top tec... by TotoHorner on Thursday December 15, 2022 @04:02AM (#33996956)
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

Re:Show HN: I built a feed of engineering blogs from top tec... by waynesonfire on Thursday December 15, 2022 @07:10AM (#33998305)
And so.. how's the content?
Re:Show HN: I built a feed of engineering blogs from top tec... by iillexial on Thursday December 15, 2022 @07:35AM (#33998550)
Can you elaborate please?
Re:Show HN: I built a feed of engineering blogs from top tec... by waynesonfire on Thursday December 15, 2022 @07:54AM (#33998779)
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?
Re:Show HN: I built a feed of engineering blogs from top tec... by iillexial on Thursday December 15, 2022 @08:18AM (#33999049)
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

Very nice!

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

Re:Show HN: I built a feed of engineering blogs from top tec... by iillexial on Thursday December 15, 2022 @09:45AM (#34000251)
This an awesome idea, thanks! I'm planning to add tags first, and after that short summaries.
Re:Show HN: I built a feed of engineering blogs from top tec... by anon223345 on Thursday December 15, 2022 @02:48PM (#34004665)
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

Re:Show HN: I built a feed of engineering blogs from top tec... by iillexial on Thursday December 15, 2022 @04:21PM (#34005940)
Thanks! I added them. Image is a bit ugly, but I will work on that.
Re:Show HN: I built a feed of engineering blogs from top tec... by anon223345 on Tuesday December 20, 2022 @05:38PM (#34073764)
Did you add og and Twitter tags? I just shared your link again and no preview
