Discover dev – a daily digest of engineering blogs
For those curious, DiscoverDev is a fully static site hosted on Netlify. It's all handcrafted vanilla HTML and CSS. (The first site I've ever developed, zero design experience, so nothing fancy). Zero lines of Javascript as well :)<p>1. I've written my own crawler+parser which parses selected blogs and publications and then displays new articles to me in a chronological manner in a GUI.<p>2. I select the articles myself, and tag them.<p>3. Then a script sees all the selected articles and generates a JSON file.<p>4. I've written my own static site generator which consumes this JSON and spits out the updated website and RSS.<p>5. I push the changes to my git repo.<p>6. Netlify listens to the git repo and updates my build.<p>7. People see my updated webpage and RSS feed within seconds.<p>Thanks for taking a look.<p>-----<p>Subscribe to the newsletter if you're looking forward to receive a weekly digest of interesting articles and resources.
