    Hi Hacker News!

    I built BlogDB to make it easier for me to follow blogs I enjoy and discover new ones. The idea was inspired by conversations I’ve heard here.

    I documented the initial design and coding at https://modfoss.com/building-blogdb.html and have open sourced the code, you can find it at https://github.com/symkat/BlogDB/

    Cool. I have 2 related projects aiming to make blogs more accessible to everyone:

    * Airss https://airss.roastidio.us A free web based RSS reader (free, front end only, no registration, open source)

    * Roastidious https://roastidio.us, write comments for any blog posts, and a search engine for blog posts. (free registration)

    Maybe we can collaborate on some level.

    This looks great, well done on launching!

    Reminds me of another project: https://blogsurf.io

    Is the intention here to be a curated list of blogs, or an aggregator?
