Useful concept for finding high-quality engineering articles
From 3 comments
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. [1]…
angelmm on HNI always wanted something like that. Awesome job!
matkurianski on HNI 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

Objections
Cloudflare captcha blocks or slows access
From 3 comments
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
ozgrakkurt on HNFirst thing I saw was an annoying Cloudflare captcha.. ugh
Catbert59 on HNI 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

Filters and search are slow or broken

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

Requests
Add more company blogs
From 5 comments
I'd suggest to add the Riot Games tech blog (https://technology.riotgames.com)
plucafs on HNBiased as I work for them but I think https://incident.io/blog/engineering is definitely worth adding.
shelika on HNThis is great. Would be good if you add RAMP also, have found the engineering blog useful. https://engineering.ramp.com/
farai89 on HNI would add: - Instacart - Temporal - Pinterest - Etsy - Atlassian
g8oz on HNWould it be possible to add the JetBrains blog? https://blog.jetbrains.com/

Add RSS feed support and a master RSS feed
From 3 comments
It would be great if you can add RSS on this.
colesantiago on HNNice one! You should definitely offer some sort of master rss feed though
ndom91 on HNFeature request -- allow users to add RSS feeds of blogs they want to follow, allow filtering by date
