Show HN: Engineering.fyi – Search across tech engineering blogs in one place
Hacker News (score: 97)Description
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

ESP32 Bus Pirate 0.5 – A hardware hacking tool that speaks every protocol ESP32 Bus Pirate is an open-source firmware that turns your device into a multi-protocol hacker's tool, inspired by the legendary Bus Pirate.<p>It supports sniffing, sending, scripting, and interacting with various digital protocols (I2C, UART, 1-Wire, SPI, etc.) via a serial terminal or web-based CLI.<p>Modes for:<p>- HiZ (default) - I2C (scan, glitch, slave mode, dump) - SPI (flash, sdcard, slave mode) - UART / Half-Duplex UART (bridge, read, write) - 1-WIRE (ibutton, temp sensor) - 2WIRE (smartcard) / 3WIRE (eeprom) - DIO (Digital I/O, read, pullup, set) - Infrared (device-b-gone, send and receive) - USB (HID, mouse, keyboard, gamepad, storage) - Bluetooth (BLE HID, scan, spoofing, sniffing) - Wi-Fi (scan, AP, connect, sniff, deauth) - JTAG (scan pinout, SWD) - LED control (animations, set LEDs) - I2S - CAN<p><a href="https://github.com/geo-tp/ESP32-Bus-Pirate" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/geo-tp/ESP32-Bus-Pirate</a>
