Blogosphere – Personal Blog Discovery Hub

A searchable directory that aggregates recent posts from indie bloggers across categories, keeping the blogosphere discoverable. Offers both minimal (HN-style) and feature-rich versions to suit different preferences.

RSS and personal blogs are genuinely experiencing a quiet revival, with newsletters and algorithmic fatigue pushing readers back toward curated indie writing — projects like Marginalia and the ongoing interest in "the old web" confirm real demand exists. The closest incumbent is Feedbin or Feedly on the reader side, though neither focuses on discovery of new indie bloggers specifically, which is the actual gap here. The $1k–5k/mo revenue ceiling is plausible only via sponsorships or a premium reader tier, but ad revenue on a discovery layer is notoriously thin and the audience skews toward people who actively block ads. The core risk is that this becomes a passion project with a loyal but tiny audience that never converts to paying — curation tools consistently struggle to monetize because the value feels like it should be free.
