Ask HN: Most beautiful personal blog UI you have ever seen?

- A-TIER are highly informative and you ll learn something

- opinion blogs at the absolute bottom of the tier list because everyone everywhere ll always have an opinion about everything and my life is too short to be reading all that

- these are the S-TIER ones on my system

- https://growingswe.com/blog

- https://ciechanow.ski/archives/

- https://mlu-explain.github.io/

- https://seeing-theory.brown.edu/index.html#firstPage

- https://svg-tutorial.com/

- https://www.lumafield.com/scan-of-the-month/health-wearables

- these are the BEST of the BEST, you ll be blown away opening each page is how good they are. i am thinking of creating a bookmark manager that uses my criteria above and runs across every damn blog link ever posted on HN to categorize them as S-TIER, A-TIER, opinion and so on

Artsy: https://anhvn.com/

Simple yet elegant: https://www.lkhrs.com/ and https://arun.is/blog/

Maximalist: https://henry.codes/ and https://garden.bradwoods.io/ and https://blog.maximeheckel.com/

Old-school / indie web: https://ribo.zone/

Text mode / ASCII art: https://adelfaure.net/

Typography: http://davidcole.me/ and https://www.petemillspaugh.com/

I have more. You can keep rolling the dice on https://indieblog.page/random and eventually you'll stumble across some pretty sites. Usually the nicest ones are from frontend / design engineer types of people. EDIT - oh and the sites in the internet phone book! https://internetphonebook.net/ as well as browsing screenshots at https://personalsit.es/

- https://www.fev.al/

- https://hugo.blog/

I just like this type of typography.

Steph Ango's website comes to my mind: https://stephango.com/ramblings

I guess I also really like my own: https://bryanhogan.com/

I also realised writing this, 3 other pages I wanted to share didn't include a blog (1. https://www.yasmins.site/projects 2. https://www.alasdairmonk.com/ 3.https://glenn.me/ ).

Very artsy but also nice: https://www.nicchan.me/about/

https://web.archive.org/web/20170608203825/http://onethingwe... - used to be slightly simpler and less colourful.

There might have been few more such blogs over the years but this one has stayed in memory long after I stopped going to it and eventually it stopped (sort of). It was not just the design but also the simplicty of the conent and being very accessible.

https://allaboutberlin.com is optimised for readability and ease of navigation. That's what a website should do, although I love when bloggers use their own art in the designs.

Although it is a bit slow to load sometimes.

It took a while to find it again... (I searched Google images until I found a screenshot that looked right.) Somebody archived it and resurrected it with Ruffle. (It looks better if you go to "Full Screen" mode.) But the aesthetic was just incredible...

I give you -- "A Murder of Scarecrows."
