Ask HN: Share your personal website
As you can see, the directory currently has only a handful of entries. I need your help to grow it. If you have a personal website, I would be glad if you shared it here. If your website is hosted on a web space where you have full control over its design and content, and if it has been well received in past HN discussions, I might add it to the directory. Just drop a link in the comments. Please let me know if you do not want your website to be included in the directory.
Also, I intend this to be a community maintained resource, so if you would like to join the GitHub project as a maintainer, please let me know either here or via the IRC link in the README.
By the way, see also 'Ask HN: Could you share your personal blog here?' - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36575081 - July 2023 - (1014 points, 1940 comments). In this post, the scope is not restricted to blogs though. Any personal website is welcome, whether it is a blog, digital garden, personal wiki or something else entirely.
UPDATE: It is going to take a while to go through all the submissions and add them. If you'd like to help with the process, please send a PR directly to this project: https://github.com/hnpwd/hnpwd.
I made something like with a similar aesthetic a few years ago but themed after win95 (which seems to be hardly unique these days). But it had a secret gimmick where aspects of it were implemented with in terms of itself (mostly, file icons could be edited within app and you could see them update on the desktop).
I had grand plans for it but they never eventuated.
I had the same concept for mine but it is Mac OS X Tiger (iOS on mobile breakpoints).

Amazing work on this website! It encourages exploration and navigating the folders to see all the content.
I clicked the link and assumed that you must have been using some JS OS UI library because of how nice it was.
This is impressive!
https://map.simonsarris.com - My newsletter site
https://garden.simonsarris.com - My garden designer site. Currently making this so anyone can use it! Public alpha at the end of the month I hope.
https://meetinghouse.cc - My site for helping twitter users find each other
https://carefulwords.com - My very fast thesaurus site
This would be nice for Bluesky. I deleted my account on Twitter after it turned into a hellscape.
Too small page margins.
Do you keep geese?
I noticed that tree sizes go to 200 if you put nonsense on the field (text emoticon etc).
I have kept ducks (meat) and chickens (eggs) at various times, but I ate all the ducks and I gave away the chickens just last month. Unfortunately free ranging chickens have been very destructive to my gardening, and I am trying to make the 2nd largest rose garden in NH, so that goal has priority.
Also, what’s a 5k?
thanks
If you click on it the scene creates more objects by the way. And if you right-click and drag you can move them around.
It's a simple "business card" page built with Angular and 98.css.
Been thinking of upgrading to plain vanilla js, xp.css and maybe some static site generation or CMS thingy for blog posts
I kinda love the intentional dithering on the photos though.

You should automate this, maybe drive all of these content from a json file and accept PRs.

I'm not a great designer, but I've tried to capture the who, what and jump off points for reading my writing as well as I could. Always impressed by the creativity and soul many other folks seem able to put into their personal homepages!
Thank you for sharing all these years.
I'll be happy if any of it was helpful :)
This is probably a "me" problem for assuming otherwise (you even have HN in your URL), but it's not what I expected from a post asking people to share their personal websites.
edit: judging by the number of personal website links posted here that do not meet that criteria, it appears I was not the only one with the wrong impression.
Yes, I was not entirely happy with the restrictive wording either. The original requirement was added mainly out of concern about spam submissions (blogspam, AI-generated content and similar). But the quality of submissions has been surprisingly good and I am genuinely delighted by the number of interesting websites I have came across in the last few hours.
So I have gone ahead and removed the overly restrictive criteria language.
> Was hoping it would be a way to stumble upon potentially underrepresented content from folks in the hacker news community who don't normally get attention.
Yes, that was exactly my intention as well. Thanks for raising this concern. It gave me the push to update the README and make the intent clearer.
I mentioned in a sibling thread that this requirement was originally added out of caution, mainly to discourage spam submissions. It no longer seems necessary, and I was not entirely happy with it either, so I have removed it now. Thanks for the discussion here, which prompted me to drop the restrictive requirement.
There's also geekring.net that is similar, and a few others that are still actively updated.
I still prefer WebRings for finding good personal sites, it has that old-web "exploration and discovery" type feeling that makes it actively satisfying to find new sites.
Everyone think of a number between 0~9, put it in a bracket (so that it's search-friendly), and add it to their post, e.g. "[7] check out my example.com".
Readers of this thread are then encouraged to search for a random number between 0~9, search for it (e.g., "[5]") via browser, do a few "find next" (just to randomize), and then visit as many results as they enjoy.
The site covers mostly retro- and classic computing. (Strictly no AI generated content.) Here in convenient format:
(
:name "Norbert Landsteiner"
:site "https://masswerk.at/"
:blog "https://masswerk.at/nowgobang/"
:feed "https://masswerk.at/nowgobang/feed.xml" //covers blog only
:about "https://masswerk.at/info/" //legal info
:hnuid "masswerk"
:bio "web developer and designer, site content is mostly retro- and classic computing."
)Actually a bit of an issue, its so capable, I actually have difficulty justifying a downloadable alternative, even though I'd prefer to have a local copy due to the untrustworthiness of web apps over time.
Thank you so much for your work.
