Self-updating engineering blogs repo with GitHub Actions
Hi HN, There’s a great engineering blog aggregation repo on github kilimchoi/engineering-blogs that I’ve used for a while. It’s an excellent resource, but it hasn’t been actively maintained in a few years — and many links have moved or broken. That made me wonder: why do most “awesome engineering blogs” lists eventually decay? So I built an open-source repo that aggregates engineering blogs and keeps itself updated automatically using GitHub Actions. On a schedule, it: > Checks blog sources for new posts > Detects broken or moved URLs > Validates links > Updates the index automatically…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi HN, There’s a great engineering blog aggregation repo on github kilimchoi/engineering-blogs that I’ve used for a while.

So I built an open-source repo that aggregates engineering blogs and keeps itself updated automatically using GitHub Actions. On a schedule, it: > Checks blog sources for new posts > Detects broken or moved URLs > Validates links > Updates the index automatically Basically - CI/CD for engineering blog aggregation. I’d love feedback on: > Any high-quality blogs I should include - specially from individuals or you > Better ways to detect canonical/moved content reliably > Whether RSS-only aggregation is enough Thank you!

Hi HN, I built a simple tool that summarizes your team’s git logs into a weekly update that teams can send to leaders, other teams, etc. I hated writing the same update multiple times a week to everyone asking “what’s the status of X” Copy your repo’s commit logs with git log —all —since=“1 week ago”, paste them, and get a well-formatted update. Planning to add Github integration to further automate. Curious what folks think.
