A list of blogs and digital gardens I enjoy reading on my free time.
Andreas started the #100DaysToOffload challenge in 2023, so I followed the blog because of that, and I stayed for the content. Although there is no dark theme here, the book reviews, technology and retro-related content might just be enough to redeem it.

Adam likes to share his love for open source, tech news, the fediverse and whatever else catches his interest. He always does his own banners and images giving credit where its due. Very well produced content that still feels personal and real.

By Anna Havron, this site is a love letter to analog office supplies and organization methods, untethered from the digital world. This blog makes me want to use pen and paper for everything somehow.
RSS Feed
Andy doesn't post very often, but when he does, its usually about CSS shenanigans and web design stuff that I usually just copy and paste if it's shiny and fun. Lovely website—but it doesn't have a dark mode.
RSS Feed
Bobby Hiltz likes to write about technology, education and whatever automations he comes up with avoid working on things more than he needs to. Tools like pandoc, claws mail and similar things. I've found or rediscovered such tools, because of him!
RSS Feed
Benjamin (Amin for short) is a nice friend who really likes to write and tinker with everything his hands can reach. Only God knows how many coding and writing projects he's working on. He blogs about those projects and makes me feel I'm wasting my life.
RSS Feed
This guy keeps changing his domain name everytime, but his content always remains interesting and fun. With a focus on web development and many projects and clubs under his belt, you should just start following him already!
RSS Feed
A very very old blog that's been running for longer than I've been alive, and it keeps on going! He posts every couple weeks and checking his archives is very fun. He shares some of those in his Mastodon account and many times they still hold up!
RSS Feed
He talks about his website, about writing, about tech and just, real life stuff. He is just real and I enjoy his short posts whenever they show up, it is always rather delightful. Except when Apple products show up, but I'll allow it.
RSS Feed
I may not like his dark theme implementation, but Clayton is a nice guy that writes about programming, writing and technology in general. He also still likes to play Wordle and shares his analytics. I never read those, but the rest is good!
RSS Feed
This is Dylan's website, I forget his name is Dylan all the time. Anyway, he enjoys writing fiction, learning many things and doing many things. I don't visit his site very often but when his posts show up on my feed are quite nice. Not the best dark theme but good enough.
RSS Feed
Now this is what I call a good dark theme! Dusan likes to talk about self-hosting, life and software development. Sometimes he goes analog, like with cassette tapes! Which is fun. A little less active but every blogpost is always a nice surprise.
RSS Feed
Garrit is kinda like me but with blonde hair. His blog is pretty simple and he writes about whatever he likes. Books, random thoughts and a variety of other tech-related topics!—he still doesn't fulfill his promise to read The Mote in God's Eye though.
RSS Feed
This guy is also a great source of inspiration that always finds neat software, tips and tricks for his blog and his workflow. Super interesting stuff if you like Linux, minimalist software, life in the terminal and tech in general. No dark theme, sad.
RSS Feed
Mr. Baty really likes to blog about everything. Thankfully he splits everything in a lot of websites. His main blog is more than enough for many, including me. He writes about organization, technology and blogging platforms!
RSS Feed
This guy is the one who inspired me to start blogging at all, so go check out his blog! He writes about blogging, blogging platforms, book reviews, life experiences, Casio watches and tech-related stuff from time to time. What else do you need?
RSS Feed
Hyde seems to be a pretty cool guy. I always read his blogposts! And he even notices my existence and writes his articles in reply to mine. He also writes about technology, books and whatever he does during the month. He's done #100DaysToOffload many times too!
RSS Feed
Lynn Fisher has a very fun and personal website, where she just covers whatever she likes. Most of the time: movies, or pets. Very fun and full of pictures of movie scenes or food, or stickers, or pets. I can recommend it if you want something that isn't tech and webdev
RSS Feed
From Argentina (so, in Spanish), Macarena does a bunch of stuff I don't really understand. Research, education and other things using R and the like. If you are interested in learning R, and you know Spanish, you should check out her content!
RSS Feed
One of Fosstodon's founders, Mike does not write very often in his blog, but he usually has something interesting to say to keep us updated on his life and rants about whatever tech he uses. A very busy person it seems to me.
RSS Feed
Simone Silvestroni—such an epic name by the way—writes about many things. He's the reason I started to add these descriptions to all the people in my Blogroll, actually, so you can thank him for my snarky comments on everyone here.
RSS Feed
Productivity and reading is what you'll find here, and it is great. A bunch of reflections and thoughts on life. There is as regular updates on whatever happens in the author's personal life , as well as monthly book reviews and recommendations.
RSS Feed
Brian Bennet is a teacher, and he likes to write about how he tortures his students by making them actually learn things and writing about his methodologies and things. He also writes about normal stuff like, life, or books.
RSS Feed
An internet friend that joined Mastodon during the Twitter exodus. His blog is not very new, but his content is still very well written. The topics covered are pretty varied, from terminal tools to opinions and thoughts about life, software and philosophy.
RSS Feed
Rach keeps on changing her websites design and it is always a delightful surprise, sticking to the content fetched by whatever RSS reader you use is a disservice! She writes about life, tech, productivity and blogging. A ton of variety here!
RSS Feed
Robb really likes to make a lot of things. His blog is filled with interesting content regarding technology, development and also food. He is also a the reason this blogroll has an OPML file too! Very inspiring site design too, a lot of personality.
RSS Feed
Robert has a very elegant and professional site, almost too much for me! He also writes very professionally and about a variety of things. Technology, work life, leadership, and the like! He's a doctor, what else did you expect?
RSS Feed
Ru has been somewhat silent recenly. But there's also a nice archive to check out, and whenever a new post shows up on my feed it is always good. Personal updates, quite a bit of tech-related articles and many opinions on things.
RSS Feed
Will Scott ever write something not titled 'Weekly Journal'?, probably, but the day such an event comes, I would probably be worried about his wellbeing. The site has no dark theme either, but it's quite minimal at least!
RSS Feed
Silvia Maggi does quite a bit of everything. If you enjoy photography, design and similar artsy content, you will enjoy her blog! There's also quite a bit of personal updates and posts you might like! Wonderful site design, despite the lack of a dark theme.
RSS Feed
Isa is a great fedi friend, and she shares her shenaningans and struggles of life, her thoughts and experiences, personal goals and such. A very personal blog with a pretty cool design too! She's trying #100DasyToOffload so, expect more posts to come!
RSS Feed
JTR posts about a lot of stuff, and he usually writes about Emacs, reading and tech-related opinions. I have to admit I find his use of micro.blog annoying because proper articles and short posts are not separated in any way. Still, a bunch of good stuff in here!
RSS Feed
While Veronica shares a lot more content on her YouTube channel, the few articles she shares are kind of interesting. There's quite a few articles about Linux, software and technology, as well as some personal updates from time to time.
RSS Feed
Jeremy's website has a great dark theme, and super simple design. He writes about Linux, the games he plays, and many other tech-related topics, kind of similar to me I think, which means you'll like his content! Right? Even if you don't like me, give him a chance.
RSS Feed
An Arch power user, tons of content sharing terminal tools, vim, coding and similar things. The website design is also super simple and it has a dark theme! There is a bunch of useful content here if you are interested in those topics.
