I know this is off-topic, but does this website not look eerily familiar to dev.to?

Yes, as others have said, it's based on the same open source CMS.

I've created zig.news for people who want to write about Zig but who don't necessarily want to maintain their own blog and to the work necessary to publicize it.

This should hopefully help more people write down their experience and opinions on using Zig and alleviate the problem of having a "blogger aristocracy" who has a much stronger voice than anyone else.

I briefly go over this concept in this 3mins long video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9pUuj6eiEg

That's correct. Both are built on Forem. It's in the footer:

   Built on Forem — the open source software that powers DEV and other inclusive communities.
   Made with love and Ruby on Rails.

Ah I did not know that. Thanks :)
I'm guessing it's using forem, the open-source platform that powers dev.to: https://github.com/forem/forem
