I have about 7 acres. I kept geese once but they were killed when they ran off with a local 5K that ran by my house and they followed. They were never found.
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.

I did it all by hand in HTML canvas. I have spent a long time making such things for years. My day job is making a canvas-based Diagramming library so I have some practice.
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.

The garden website if beautifully done actually. I quite like how imperfect and non-straight the lines are eg of the house
I got excited at the headline of this post because I love the idea of community maintained personal site directories. Was disappointed to get into the description and linked Git repository and learn that it's only for sites that have gotten some traction on hacker news before. 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.
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.

> Was disappointed to get into the description and linked Git repository and learn that it's only for sites that have gotten some traction on hacker news before.
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.

Suggestion:
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.

OP should change it to be what most of us thought it would be. In case not, I’m adding this to favorites so I can continue checking out all the sites later.
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.

I mean, it makes sense to restrict outside submissions at least nominally, while being more lenient within the community, given that the project is community-focused.... but yes, I did feel a bit apprehensive when I looked at the repo after I'd already been added.

Personal blog about engineering and startups. My old article on LISP made it to the HN homepage once. I’ve learned much since and would love to update it.
I'm a turntablist and scratch DJ, been running my site since 2006.
I mix and dj mainly old rave stuff and old hip hop. I'm oldskool in that i like to provide free mp3 and even flac versions of my mixes, and I don't just rely on another walled garden type service.
I don't update that site as frequently as i should.
But i'm planning to add a lot more music to it later this year and maybe some video/visual mixes which I've been working on.
Kind of a collection of rants, tools, and old projects... largely from before GitHub became a thing.
My site's getting kind of old and creaky, but I update it from time to time.
There's a fair number of articles that were "I ran into this problem at work, so I wrote a blog post about how I fixed it" we just had the amazing upside of having a link to send somebody when they run into the same problem. I've been told by coworkers that they found my posts googling their problems before.

Heartbreaking post about your friend Jumber. Thank you for taking the time to share it.
I'm a software architect with 23 years of professional experience, mainly in C#/.NET environments, and I currently lead a development team. Over the years, my focus has shifted from purely technical excellence to the human side of software development: communication, decision-making, responsibility, and sustainable performance.
In parallel to my tech career, I trained as a licensed psychological counsellor and supervisor in Austria, Vienna.
Today, I work with individuals and teams on topics like leadership, mental load, clarity in roles, burnout prevention, and turning reflection into action, especially in complex, high-responsibility environments such as software teams.
My work bridges structured engineering thinking with psychological depth and practical implementation.
I'm a photographer, so I built a embed for all my Instagram posts that I'm pretty proud of!

I've just started blogging about the random work I do over there. As a rule of thumb, I’m aiming to provide one artifact (eg open-source code) or some tangible value that readers can take away from each post.
I built a Q&A style blog about cruising, with an initial focus on Disney Cruise Line. We're heading out on our first family cruise, and I had a lot of very specific questions. LLM answers were usually close, but often missed important nuances, so I ended up digging through countless Reddit threads and forum posts to piece together reliable answers.
I started collecting those answers for my own reference, which gradually turned into a public blog. The funny part is that the posts themselves will probably end up as training data for future LLMs, closing the loop.
I only have one blog post, it's effectively a host for my resume and there's a lot of work to do to make it nicer. For one, while I'm trying to convey an aesthetic with the three.js-powered background, it is _not_ performant on some devices. Choosing a SPA architecture in order to keep the background seamless is also biting me in the butt. From an SEO perspective, for example, I can't implement proper OpenGraph metadata on the blog posts since crawlers don't execute JS.
I'm happy though. I'm excited to make it a long-lived shrine.

OP, you didn't make it clear you're only looking for sites with content shared on HN with moderate success (100+ votes), as opposed to everyone's random personal URL they may not have ever shared here. (but then why not? if it's just a community directory)
susam 5 hours ago [-]
For this HN post, any website is welcome. A lot of URLs have already been shared and it will take me days to go through each one and add them to the directory. I may not add every URL posted here, but this thread is still open for people to share as many links as they like.
Also, the guideline of 100+ total votes across five or fewer posts is not a strict rule. It exists mainly to discourage submissions that point to very thin sites with little or no content. I have already made exceptions when a website has interesting content even if it has never been posted on HN or received many upvotes.
Also, a website shared today might not meet the 100+ votes guideline now but could meet it at some point in the future. That is another reason why all personal websites are welcome in this thread. Again, this is only a guideline, not a hard rule. If a site clearly meets the criteria, I can add it quickly and save time. If it does not, I will spend a bit more time checking that it is not spam and that it genuinely has something interesting to offer.
ChrisArchitect 46 minutes ago [-]
err, criteria means 'required' not guidelines.
And encouraging 'Any personal website is welcome, whether it is a blog, digital garden, personal wiki or something else entirely' but then saying you're discouraging submissions with little content etc. Who knows what people decided to put on their personal domains, ya know?
Anyways, obviously a ton of ppl just threw in their urls here without much concern so it's up to you what you want to include. Onwards!
Sorry for the long post, but it may be relevant to you.
I would share my personal website which I owned for 25+ years, but AWS deregistered it because of $36.
In case you use AWS as a registrar, be warned: If your account is "closed", they will release your domains. In other words, they make them available as if they were expired. Immediately.
Short summary: I consolidated my domains at AWS years ago just to make it easier to manage everything from one spot. Earlier last year, my credit card I used for auto payments didn't have the $18 I pay for monthly costs. I didn't notice, until my email stopped working because my account was "suspended" due to non payment after a couple months.
When AWS suspended the account, they turned off DNS routing which I managed from Route 53, so not only did my websites stop working, so did my email account (which had DNS entries to route to Gmail).
So I went to log in to pay my bill, but in the time since I had last signed in, AWS had added two factor authentication. But since I couldn't get my email, I couldn't log in. Quiz: How does one pay AWS if you can't log into your account? You cant. How do you submit a ticket? Create a new account, submit a ticket about the old account from there (you still can't pay). And then wait. And then send in a notarized form plus forms of identity. It took over a two months to resolve. Meanwhile, my account went from suspended to "closed".
I put that in quotes because when I was finally able to get my log in working, my account was as it was before with all data and setup intact.
Except for all my domains.
They had been deregistered, despite having paid for years more. AWS cancelled and released my domains without my permission. They actively deleted them from the register list, so anyone out there could buy them.
russellbeattie.com was no longer mine. In addition to the other 6 domains I used.
Because of the SEO of my personal blog, some asshole had added my domain to an "add/drop" service, so it was instantly snapped up and is now used as a scam website. They also have access to all my email, which I've used for everything from Apple to Microsoft to Google and more.
So, I'd love to share my blog with you, but Amazon screwed me so badly it's incredible.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I just rebuilt my site and feedback is warmly welcome. There isn't much content yet, but I intend to write more this year.
Mostly dev-related topics but I'm trying to write about more than just that.
And btw, this is a brilliant idea. I've already found 2 sites in adding to my bookmarks.
https://4d4m.com
It's a portal to all the sounds I found in the future, which you can stream or download in mp3/wav without any registration or DRM.
It’s an open-source, configurable personal website that I built to experiment with design, content structure, and long-term maintainability. The goal is to make it easy for others to fork, customize, and use as their own personal site (blog / profile / digital garden).
Source code and setup instructions are linked on the site. Feedback welcome!

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!

Hello, World!
I'm @vinhnx on the internet.
I'm a turntablist and scratch DJ, been running my site since 2006. I mix and dj mainly old rave stuff and old hip hop. I'm oldskool in that i like to provide free mp3 and even flac versions of my mixes, and I don't just rely on another walled garden type service.
I don't update that site as frequently as i should.
But i'm planning to add a lot more music to it later this year and maybe some video/visual mixes which I've been working on.
Kind of a collection of rants, tools, and old projects... largely from before GitHub became a thing.
My site's getting kind of old and creaky, but I update it from time to time.
There's a fair number of articles that were "I ran into this problem at work, so I wrote a blog post about how I fixed it" we just had the amazing upside of having a link to send somebody when they run into the same problem. I've been told by coworkers that they found my posts googling their problems before.

I'm a software architect with 23 years of professional experience, mainly in C#/.NET environments, and I currently lead a development team. Over the years, my focus has shifted from purely technical excellence to the human side of software development: communication, decision-making, responsibility, and sustainable performance. In parallel to my tech career, I trained as a licensed psychological counsellor and supervisor in Austria, Vienna. Today, I work with individuals and teams on topics like leadership, mental load, clarity in roles, burnout prevention, and turning reflection into action, especially in complex, high-responsibility environments such as software teams. My work bridges structured engineering thinking with psychological depth and practical implementation.

I built a Q&A style blog about cruising, with an initial focus on Disney Cruise Line. We're heading out on our first family cruise, and I had a lot of very specific questions. LLM answers were usually close, but often missed important nuances, so I ended up digging through countless Reddit threads and forum posts to piece together reliable answers.
I started collecting those answers for my own reference, which gradually turned into a public blog. The funny part is that the posts themselves will probably end up as training data for future LLMs, closing the loop.
I should probably get around to making an update or two, but alas it's the dark part of the year and my inspiration is running on fumes.

I only have one blog post, it's effectively a host for my resume and there's a lot of work to do to make it nicer. For one, while I'm trying to convey an aesthetic with the three.js-powered background, it is _not_ performant on some devices. Choosing a SPA architecture in order to keep the background seamless is also biting me in the butt. From an SEO perspective, for example, I can't implement proper OpenGraph metadata on the blog posts since crawlers don't execute JS.
I'm happy though. I'm excited to make it a long-lived shrine.
I have a few deeper posts that I'm proud of. My favorite is an exploration of battle probabilities in the board game war room.

Been on the front-page of hacker news a few times in the last few years.
I’ve been having a lot of fun with the site in the last year-or-so. I’ve had a personal site for well over a decade now, but this is the iteration I like the most. Probably because this is the first time I’ve just built a playground for myself, and not tried to conform to what a site “should” be.
Here it is: https://webmohit.com
This is pretty new, and I'm still trying to figure out what it will be. For the moment it's a blog, and it's mostly my astrophotography work, with some random code and nostalgia thrown in.

Why are you embedding messages in caps in your content?
More infrastructure than content, but in principle it’s capable of hosting Go packages, complete with a simple issue tracker and code review system. I use it myself to stream notifications from multiple sources (GitHub and Gerrit).

I like that it allows us to set different depth levels for the full graph view and the individual note's view.

I should blog more, and so should you!

I've been really inspired to blog more thanks to HN. -- not much, but it's a start.
I hit the HN Front page thrice for my posts on Ruby last year. Going to write way more soon. I write about Python, Rust, Linux and some tooling. I'll also write about concurrency next.

Well, technically the website is built with Nix and CSS, no manual HTML written though ;)
> 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.github.io
If only there was a language that could run in all of our browsers, maybe even easily executable via some Quake-like console window that could open next to the website, that could just grab all visible URLs within some specific parts... Oh well ;)
Vibe coded in 3.5 hrs (content was older, natch), wrote a block-based, WYSIWYG block based CMS from scratch to power it.

Check out the library too (this started before Google Books, Internet Archive, and Hathitrust were offering scans):

The site performance has intermittently suffered a lot from badly behaved crawlers, so if it's slow when you visit I apologize in advance. (Edit: current load average on server is 63. Ugh.)
I have another much more active account here but Sciencemadness so easily reveals my IRL identity that I don't mention this site on the other account.
Scroll to “bypass” my “paywall”. :)
I blog about my journey with music, electronic music production, and single-sided deafness.

Technology, engineering and a few other tidbits. Need to update it a bit further though!
Currently just hosts my blog. I mainly like how my name fully fits in the URL.
i make and do things
it's still rough. Working on content only, style will follow later.... anyone wanna help?
I have an endless list of blog posts to write and so little time :(
My personal blog, I normally post about maths and computer science. But sometimes random design things, or bits about linguistics and words.
Love my domain, site is pretty average, mainly just a resume if I need.
https://github.com/lb-/website - the code, with an issue to rewrite this yet again in a different framework one day haha.
I write occasionally for my own pleasure and enjoyment.
Inactive: Blog - https://collantes.us/
Made in wordpress over a decade ago, and wordpress gradually enshittified. It's been a long-running wish to switch to something else, but it's never been important enough relative to other things I could be doing.
Not much on there, but hey, something's better than nothing!
Haven't updated it in ages but I've got a couple ideas in my head, so that might change soon.

I still need to map a domain. I used to maintain a personal blog years ago, but let it expire. I just recently created this new one.
Index me AI overlords
You can include it in the db
I have self hosted on nfsn since 2011 with the same freebsd instance.
Also, the guideline of 100+ total votes across five or fewer posts is not a strict rule. It exists mainly to discourage submissions that point to very thin sites with little or no content. I have already made exceptions when a website has interesting content even if it has never been posted on HN or received many upvotes.
Also, a website shared today might not meet the 100+ votes guideline now but could meet it at some point in the future. That is another reason why all personal websites are welcome in this thread. Again, this is only a guideline, not a hard rule. If a site clearly meets the criteria, I can add it quickly and save time. If it does not, I will spend a bit more time checking that it is not spam and that it genuinely has something interesting to offer.
And encouraging 'Any personal website is welcome, whether it is a blog, digital garden, personal wiki or something else entirely' but then saying you're discouraging submissions with little content etc. Who knows what people decided to put on their personal domains, ya know?
Anyways, obviously a ton of ppl just threw in their urls here without much concern so it's up to you what you want to include. Onwards!

Recently redesigned it with SvelteKit/Rust and some cool shaders.

Yes, really.
I would share my personal website which I owned for 25+ years, but AWS deregistered it because of $36.
In case you use AWS as a registrar, be warned: If your account is "closed", they will release your domains. In other words, they make them available as if they were expired. Immediately.
Short summary: I consolidated my domains at AWS years ago just to make it easier to manage everything from one spot. Earlier last year, my credit card I used for auto payments didn't have the $18 I pay for monthly costs. I didn't notice, until my email stopped working because my account was "suspended" due to non payment after a couple months.
When AWS suspended the account, they turned off DNS routing which I managed from Route 53, so not only did my websites stop working, so did my email account (which had DNS entries to route to Gmail).
So I went to log in to pay my bill, but in the time since I had last signed in, AWS had added two factor authentication. But since I couldn't get my email, I couldn't log in. Quiz: How does one pay AWS if you can't log into your account? You cant. How do you submit a ticket? Create a new account, submit a ticket about the old account from there (you still can't pay). And then wait. And then send in a notarized form plus forms of identity. It took over a two months to resolve. Meanwhile, my account went from suspended to "closed".
I put that in quotes because when I was finally able to get my log in working, my account was as it was before with all data and setup intact.
Except for all my domains.
They had been deregistered, despite having paid for years more. AWS cancelled and released my domains without my permission. They actively deleted them from the register list, so anyone out there could buy them.
russellbeattie.com was no longer mine. In addition to the other 6 domains I used.
Because of the SEO of my personal blog, some asshole had added my domain to an "add/drop" service, so it was instantly snapped up and is now used as a scam website. They also have access to all my email, which I've used for everything from Apple to Microsoft to Google and more.
So, I'd love to share my blog with you, but Amazon screwed me so badly it's incredible.
tl;dr: Don't use AWS as your registrar.
Thanks!
Personal website, built from Svelte.

thanks for checking it out!
I probably put a lot of effort into making it look nice. Now that I think about it, it was a waste of time after all...
Not very thoroughly populated but here's another one for the pile
