Lately, I’ve been getting into a habit of reading how teams at Uber, Netflix, Cloudflare, Microsoft, etc. design systems, scale infra, and solve hard engineering problems — mostly through their engineering blogs.

But there was a problem:

• Too many blogs
• Too many tabs
• Not enough time to read everything end-to-end

What I really wanted was: “Give me the key ideas from all these posts in one place, and let me search across them.”

So over a weekend, I built it.
Enggist – Engineering, as a gist. ⚙️✨

💻 GitHub: https://lnkd.in/digECe8N

• Fetches posts from a curated list of engineering RSS feeds
• Stores them in a database
• Runs a daily cron to summarize + categorize each post using AI (2.5 Flash, with guardrails)
• Extracts key highlights + tags
• Minimal frontend with fuzzy search

Under the hood:

• Cloudflare Workers for cron + ingestion + processing
• Two cron jobs: one to fetch, one to summarize
• Vercel for hosting and deploying

💰 Infra cost so far: ₹0
This didn’t start as a “learning project”. It started as:
“I keep running into this problem. Let me build something that makes my own life easier.”
The funny part is: once you commit to solving a real problem, the stack, the tools, the patterns… they quietly fall into place.
Sometimes you don’t need a big plan.
You just need a small pain, a free time, and the willingness to ship. 🚀😊
