blogs.hn's Introduction

blogs.hn

blogs.hn is for personal blogs! Non-technical blogs are okay too, but remember that the community is mostly folks from HackerNews.

Adding Blogs

This repo comes with a helper script fetch.js to automatically grab blog info from a URL. But feel free to manually add/edit information to blogs.json!

Run the script:

npm i axios cheerio
node fetch.js "https://taylor.town" "https://gwern.net"

Clean the output:
