Most beautiful personal blog UI you have ever seen?

I think Eric Meyer's is a nice one:

https://meyerweb.com/

I quite like this one: https://tonsky.me/blog/monitors/

Although it is a bit slow to load sometimes.

Tasteful: https://colly.com/

Artsy: https://anhvn.com/

Simple yet elegant: https://www.lkhrs.com/ and https://arun.is/blog/

Maximalist: https://henry.codes/ and https://garden.bradwoods.io/ and https://blog.maximeheckel.com/

Old-school / indie web: https://ribo.zone/

Text mode / ASCII art: https://adelfaure.net/

Typography: http://davidcole.me/ and https://www.petemillspaugh.com/

I have more. You can keep rolling the dice on https://indieblog.page/random and eventually you'll stumble across some pretty sites. Usually the nicest ones are from frontend / design engineer types of people. EDIT - oh and the sites in the internet phone book! https://internetphonebook.net/ as well as browsing screenshots at https://personalsit.es/

This isn't a blog, but more than 20 years ago I saw a Flash web game which I've always remembered as the most beautiful piece of interactive online content I'd ever seen.

It took a while to find it again... (I searched Google images until I found a screenshot that looked right.) Somebody archived it and resurrected it with Ruffle. (It looks better if you go to "Full Screen" mode.) But the aesthetic was just incredible...

I give you -- "A Murder of Scarecrows."

Not sure if it counts as “most beautiful”, but I spent a lot of time tinkering with my own blog UI and interactions:

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/

Mine is pretty cool looking: https://thomashunter.name/posts/2026-02-26-alpaka-elements-t...

- S-TIER blogs are those that are animated, visual, interactive and absolutely blow your mind off

- A-TIER are highly informative and you ll learn something

- opinion blogs at the absolute bottom of the tier list because everyone everywhere ll always have an opinion about everything and my life is too short to be reading all that

- these are the S-TIER ones on my system

- https://mlu-explain.github.io/

- https://seeing-theory.brown.edu/index.html#firstPage

- https://svg-tutorial.com/

- https://www.lumafield.com/scan-of-the-month/health-wearables

- these are the BEST of the BEST, you ll be blown away opening each page is how good they are. i am thinking of creating a bookmark manager that uses my criteria above and runs across every damn blog link ever posted on HN to categorize them as S-TIER, A-TIER, opinion and so on

The typography in Maggie Appleton's blog is unparalleled

I just finished building mine! https://gpeake.com

https://lynnandtonic.com/ is really well-built and has a distinctive style. Recommend checking it out!

There are some great looking websites here! I like https://vmfunc.re/

I'm gonna use this as an opportunity to get some feedback on mine: https://ayman.eldidi.org/articles/unicode-identifiers/

One I like is Tom Macwright’s blog [1], which somewhat famously loads insanely fast thanks to having a sort of the web equivalent of a brutalist design while still looking nice [2].

I just like this type of typography.
