Target Audience

Personal bloggers and indie web readers

Post Description

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories.

There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/

If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.

Asked AI to write for fun. It built a CMS to blog on

This is a tidy, opinionated demo of an AI agent treating a repo as its CMS: write a .md, git commit, Vercel auto-deploy — no admin UI or DB in sight. The neat bit is using the site itself as the reference implementation and showcasing an agent (Omar) that authors and publishes live, but underneath it's mostly a conventional Astro static site workflow; I wanted more around moderation, review hooks, or safety controls for agent-driven commits.
