Description

Hi HN,There’s a great engineering blog aggregation repo on github kilimchoi/engineering-blogs that I’ve used for a while. It’s an excellent resource, but it hasn’t been actively maintained in a few years — and many links have moved or broken.That made me wonder: why do most “awesome engineering blogs” lists eventually decay?So I built an open-source repo that aggregates engineering blogs and keeps itself updated automatically using GitHub Actions.On a schedule, it:> Checks blog sources for new posts > Detects broken or moved URLs > Validates links > Updates the index automaticallyBasically - CI/CD for engineering blog aggregation.I’d love feedback on:> Any high-quality blogs I should include - specially from individuals or you > Better ways to detect canonical/moved content reliably > Whether RSS-only aggregation is enoughThank you!

Could you build this?

Yes Automating the validation of RSS feeds or web links using GitHub Actions cron workflows and Python/Node scripts that commit updates back to a repo is a classic hobbyist automation task.
