What Hacker News says?
I prefer simple designs. Steph Ango's website comes to my mind: https://stephango.com/ramblings I guess I also really like my own: https://bryanhogan.com/ I also realised writing this, 3 other pages I wanted to share didn't include a blog (1. https://www.yasmins.site/projects 2. https://www.alasdairmonk.com/ 3. https://glenn.me/ ). Very artsy but also nice: https://www.nicchan.me/about/
