Hey, I'm Ramkarthik Krishnamurthy. I'm an engineer, maker, and writer—roughly in that order.
Blogosphere is an aggregator that fetches the latest posts from over 1,000 blogs across many different categories, surfacing the recent and interesting ones worth your time.
But it's really about something bigger: rebuilding a thriving community of independent writers and thinkers who share their thoughts freely, without waiting for an algorithm to decide who gets to see them.
When Twitter became popular, something shifted. Many people stopped blogging altogether. The ones who kept going promoted their work on social media and the social platforms became the place to find interesting links. But here's the problem: those same platforms now actively deprioritize external links. They own our conversations. They're algorithmic, designed to keep us scrolling within their walls.
There are still plenty of people blogging out there. The writers haven't disappeared. They're just scattered, hard to find, buried under the noise of algorithm-driven feeds.
Blogosphere exists to change that. It's a place to discover new blogs and find thoughtful, interesting posts from people who care enough to write them. Not because a platform rewards them, but because they have something worth saying.
Let's bring back the good old days of blogging.
A massive thanks to the folks at Blogroll (Manu and Ray) who inspired and were generous enough to provide the initial blogs dataset that powered the start of this project.
I'd love to hear from you. Whether you have blogs to suggest, feedback on the site, or just want to talk about the independent web.
