I like reading Julia Evans blog. Aside from the good writings, I think the typography and the paragraph width fits nicely.

Lesswrong for both sidebars: the heading based TOC on the left, and the margin notes on the right: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/bJ2haLkcGeLtTWaD5/welcome-to...
For interactive / code snippets Maxime Heckel: https://blog.maximeheckel.com/posts/the-study-of-shaders-wit...
Honorable mentions Maggie Applebaum https://maggieappleton.com/ai-enlightenment Marek Chotoborski https://zanlib.dev/blog/number-inputs-in-react/
Line width, sane fonts, avoiding clever shit unless very polished, gets you a long way.
Wow. Maxime’s site is gorgeous.
Thank you
I like the design of https://dbushell.com/blog/
Though mainly I just like the general 50s aesthetics of it, rather than specific UI elements.

The simple layout/theme does not get in the way of the reading.
I like the formatting and readability of https://nesbitt.io/2026/05/28/protestware-for-coding-agents.... though I wish it loaded faster.
