Show HN: Engineering.fyi – Search across tech engineering blogs in one place

Would it be possible to add the JetBrains blog? https://blog.jetbrains.com/

Only 16 companies - quite sparse. May I ask to add my blog if possible? https://clickhouse.com/blog?category=engineering

I kind of miss the RSS days when you just had your own news/blog aggregator without the annoyance of Substack, Medium or anything else.

Shameless plug, but hopefully relevant enough: my directory and search engine for personal blogs[1] indexes over 1000 RSS feeds, and naturally lots of them are about engineering and software development. Full-text search is implemented with Typesense, and there are also "related" recommendations for each post, example [2].

I like the concept. Many times I look for high quality articles to go deep on some topics. I recommend you the fly.io blog [1], it has really nice articles.

Looks good, but it‘s fascinating the term engineering nowadays almost only boils down to software(also mostly web) and AI, although it is way more than that.

I like the premise — I’ve lost count of how many times I ended up deep in Google’s search results or on page 4 of some company blog just to find a relevant architecture post.

A couple of thoughts from my own workflow: • I’d definitely add smaller but high-signal engineering blogs. Some of the most interesting write-ups I’ve read came from companies that aren’t FAANG-level but are operating at scale (think Segment, Plaid, Posthog, Linear). They often publish very focused “lessons learned” pieces that don’t get much SEO love. • AI summaries could be useful if they’re really accurate and highlight the “why” behind a technical decision, not just rephrase the intro paragraph. I’d probably use them to triage which posts to read in full. • For discovery, I usually rely on Twitter/X and the occasional Reddit thread. The problem is that those channels are noisy — so something that’s searchable and filterable like you’ve built is appealing.

One nit: for tagging, maybe consider a lightweight NLP approach (spaCy / transformers) that can detect concepts beyond exact matches. Even basic keyword clustering could improve relevance without needing a massive ML pipeline.

Nice work — bookmarking this for the next time I need to dig into how someone scaled their job queues without setting their hair on fire.

I'd suggest to add the Riot Games tech blog (https://technology.riotgames.com)

> When learning a new technology, the best insights often come from how companies like Google, Meta, or Stripe actually implement it in production.

I think not.

Can you add cross support for Fediverse? I really haven't been keeping up but I think with ActivityPub you can support Bluesky, Mastodon, and Threads. A lot of the general support and progress went from GNU Social > Mastodon > whatever.

Shameless plug, you can find all of them and many more on https://daily.dev/. It's a personalized aggregator for developer news

Nice work. I started working on something similar, but my use case is slightly different (but the solution is similar). We all are interested in certain topics, there is a lot of content that gets published and our time is limited, so we need something that helps us identify top 10 articles or so per topic. This is why most of us like HackerNews. I think HackerNews by topic or interest would be a good idea to implement (but along with users posting links, it can come from crawling few sites as well)

Amazing idea but Cloudflare DDOSes my browser when I try to open it.

Also a nice reminder to move my website off of cloudflare asap

There's a good list here which you could add as well https://github.com/kilimchoi/engineering-blogs

Are you trying to stick with company blogs primarily, or to expand into general non-affiliated eng blogs? People like Maggie Appleton (https://maggieappleton.com/) and Patrick McKenzie (https://www.kalzumeus.com/) frequently have compelling ideas around technology, but I suppose that's a different "product" from what a company blog is selling.

> Each blog requires custom parsing logic (no standard format)

This is unfortunate, RSS has promise to be that standard format. I've seen high adoption, but it's not universal.

First thing I saw was an annoying Cloudflare captcha.. ugh

This is awesome! We got some really technical deep dives here https://www.warpstream.com/blog-category/engineering

This is great. Would be good if you add RAMP also, have found the engineering blog useful. https://engineering.ramp.com/

Are you sure you want to add hundreds of blogs? I would keep it curated to 10-20 otherwise it will turn into an RSS feed but I think you are chasing a goal of having the most interesting blogs to read and for people to use in their designs, coding etc.

I can't find tags for C#, asp.Net

Nice one! You should definitely offer some sort of master rss feed though

I can't say I like the infinite scrolling and lack of body scroll bar.

> Current status: Core search is working. Adding new blogs weekly as I index them.

I guess this is a reason why it does not have recent blogs from some of the sites. Otherwise, it's definitely something I'd use

Awesome work! I would suggest adding Netflix’s blog [1]. It’s very high quality imo.

[1] https://netflixtechblog.com/

Should definitely be able to filter out any of the sources. Unless that's already there and I'm not seeing it.

FYI here is a list of hundreds of engineering blogs: https://github.com/kilimchoi/engineering-blogs

I would add: - Instacart - Temporal - Pinterest - Etsy - Atlassian

Biased as I work for them but I think https://incident.io/blog/engineering is definitely worth adding.

>Engineering

Looks inside

>15 tech companies blogs

Great idea and the post preview cards are excellent.

I've found software security companies tend to have interesting blog posts.

It would be great if you can add RSS on this.

I have so many of tech blogs in my bookmarks. And I open them maybe once per month. How often do you read these blogs?

none of the filters seem to work for me. Good concept. Wish it wasn't in the done-to-death vibe coding UI.

The performance is really slow on my phone - iPhone XR. Even selecting filters takes away lot of time.

This is interesting stuff!! Love to see further updates and scale on this

I always wanted something like that. Awesome job!

Great start. I would be great to see more blogs added to your project.

It would be cool to filter out the AI/LLM stuff

Already hug of death?

I love this idea. Like others mentioned the cloudflare is annoying and search is way too slow, but as a concept I like it. Make it faster and I can see myself using this every week

I'll be building a MCP for this

Nice project. Filtering took forever though.

Cool idea. I thought I’d try to make a Kagi Lens to accomplish the same thing:

https://kagi.com/lenses/LdYine8hZtYmrt8yTMngOUtvTM9rmkRy

Kagi Lenses can be defined in many ways, one of which is specifying URLs to search. Unfortunately you can only provide 10 URLs per lens. Here are the ones I chose:

https://stripe.com/blog/engineering, https://engineering.fb.com/, https://www.uber.com/en-US/blog/engineering/, https://netflixtechblog.com/, https://research.google/blog/, https://technology.riotgames.com/, https://incident.io/blog, https://www.anthropic.com/engineering, https://openai.com/news/, https://shopify.engineering/

nice concept. fyi, search feature doesn’t seem to work

I get an ssl error

Thanks for having a default feed to show an example of what to expect

So many show and tells neglect that

this is good! will revisit soon!

order by latest?

AI-grifters: "why bother using yet another search engine? In a few weeks {{preferred LLM}} will be trained on the underlying data"

I believe there should be an industry standard to distinguish between engineers (the ones who spent 4-5 years in school) and software engineers (not necessarily those who spent 4-5 years in school) by name only. Either one should not be called engineers anymore, or the other should be called legacy engineers or something along these lines. I was expecting to search through articles of IEEE, RF, hardware maybe, or even other disciplines like civil and mechanical. The word "engineer" lost its meaning in the past ~2 decades because everyone now who touches a PC suddenly can call themselves an engineer, diluting the market now with hordes of bootcampers and "prompt engineers". How come we don't see the same in other white-collar jobs like doctors, nurses, lawyers, or even blue-collar ones that now require some sort of control over who calls themselves or is able to work in a trade by having apprenticeships? P. Eng isn't enforced, so it's meaningless.
