Show HN: Hacker News Blogroll

[deathbypenguin]

This was submitted about 9 months ago as a Show HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36605493), people was generally favorable to it, but I never got around to do anything else with it past the first few days.

I recently rescued a Github account I had, so I'm putting the source of the Rails app over there in case anyone wanted to do anything with it.

The site still runs on https://dm.hn

Generates about 2 to 3 GB bandwidth usage every month, and the blogs are still checked every day for new content. I must say, I still visit every week and find interesting entries to read.

I see that a lot of the blogs have feeds but aren't tagged as such on the site. For example the first item I saw was https://foudil.fr/blog/ which has auto-discovery metadata pointing to https://foudil.fr/blog/index.xml. It would be nice to run a script to look up all that information and include it in the index. (Ideally occasionally refreshing in case someone moves their feed.)

The (small) gray text on white background is very hard to read.

I very delexically read that as bogroll and was quite confused
