Show HN: Engineering.fyi – Search across tech engineering blogs in one place

https://engineering.fyi/
99•indiehackerman•2h ago
I built a search engine for engineering blogs because I was tired of manually checking individual company blogs to find real-world production examples.

The problem: When learning a new technology, the best insights often come from how companies like Google, Meta, or Stripe actually implement it in production. But these gems are scattered across dozens of separate engineering blogs with no way to search across them.

What I built: Engineering.fyi indexes engineering blogs from ~15 companies (Google, Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, Uber, etc.) and makes them searchable in one place. You can filter by topic, difficulty level, and whether articles include code samples.

Technical details: - Built with Next.js, SQLite, DrizzleORM - Custom scrapers for each blog (they're all frustratingly different) - Basic tagging system using content matching (still improving this)

Current status: Core search is working. Adding new blogs weekly as I index them.

Next features (based on early feedback): - AI summaries for quick article previews - Weekly digest of trending engineering insights - Save/bookmark articles (considering whether to add accounts)

Interesting challenges: - Each blog requires custom parsing logic (no standard format) - Building an accurate tagging system is harder than expected – started with exact matching but exploring better approaches

I'd love feedback on: - Which company engineering blogs you'd find most valuable to include - Whether AI summaries would actually be useful or just noise - How you currently discover engineering articles from these companies

It would be great if you can add RSS on this.

Adding to the list!

Can you try again? Seems to be working for others

I'd suggest to add the Riot Games tech blog (https://technology.riotgames.com)
indiehackerman•56m ago
Adding to the list!

Biased as I work for them but I think https://incident.io/blog/engineering is definitely worth adding.
indiehackerman•55m ago
Adding to the list!

The performance is really slow on my phone - iPhone XR. Even selecting filters takes away lot of time.
indiehackerman•15m ago
Made some performance improvements, hope it's better for you now!

First thing I saw was an annoying Cloudflare captcha.. ugh
gricardo99•1h ago
nice concept. fyi, search feature doesn’t seem to work
indiehackerman•54m ago
Thanks for your support! Search should be fixed now
indiehackerman•17m ago
Fixed now

none of the filters seem to work for me. Good concept. Wish it wasn't in the done-to-death vibe coding UI.
indiehackerman•16m ago
Thanks for the feedback! Have made fixes to the filters so please try again

I have so many of tech blogs in my bookmarks. And I open them maybe once per month. How often do you read these blogs?
indiehackerman•15m ago
I read them especially when I'm picking up a new task at my job with new technologies
dwedge•1h ago
I 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
indiehackerman•54m ago
Thanks for the feedback! Search should be better now

Shameless plug, but hopefully relevant enough: my directory and search engine for personal blogs[1] indexes over 1000 RSS feeds, and naturally lots of them are about engineering and software development. Full-text search is implemented with Typesense, and there are also "related" recommendations for each post, example [2].

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

Cool idea. I thought I’d try to make a Kagi Lens to accomplish the same thing:

https://kagi.com/lenses/LdYine8hZtYmrt8yTMngOUtvTM9rmkRy

Kagi Lenses can be defined in many ways, one of which is specifying URLs to search. Unfortunately you can only provide 10 URLs per lens. Here are the ones I chose:

https://stripe.com/blog/engineering, https://engineering.fb.com/, https://www.uber.com/en-US/blog/engineering/, https://netflixtechblog.com/, https://research.google/blog/, https://technology.riotgames.com/, https://incident.io/blog, https://www.anthropic.com/engineering, https://openai.com/news/, https://shopify.engineering/

When I use this lens to search for “Python” the top three hits are:

Meta’s Pyrefly announcement (may 2025)

Netflix post about their overall use of python (March 2013)

Google’s announcement of the Croissant ML metadata format (March 2024)

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.

Nice project. Filtering took forever though.

Have made improvements to the filters! Hope you get a better experience now

Thanks for your support!

Great start. I would be great to see more blogs added to your project.
indiehackerman•15m ago
Thanks for your support! Will definitely be adding plenty more this week
zX41ZdbW•36m ago
Only 16 companies - quite sparse. May I ask to add my blog if possible? https://clickhouse.com/blog?category=engineering
indiehackerman•33m ago
Just getting started but will definitely add to the list!
WASDx•28m ago
FYI here is a list of hundreds of engineering blogs: https://github.com/kilimchoi/engineering-blogs
indiehackerman•25m ago
Thanks! It's a great collection and have been using that as a reference. Hasn't been updated in a while but definitely will try to add as many as I can
