Breakpoint is an aggregator for engineering writing. We pull posts from company engineering blogs and individual developer sites into a single ranked feed, so the best technical writing on the web is one place away.

A publisher is any source we ingest — a company engineering blog, a developer's personal site, an RSS feed. Every post in your Feed is attributed back to the publisher it came from, and you can subscribe to the ones you care about.

Breakpoint is a feed for technical writing — software engineering, infrastructure, data, security, hardware, engineering leadership and culture, and adjacent topics. The rule of thumb: we accept posts about how something works or how engineering teams work, not posts that just announce that something exists.

Acceptable: deep dives, postmortems, architecture write-ups, tutorials, research, and opinion pieces grounded in technical work. Leadership and culture writing is welcome too — mentorship, on-call practices, team structure, dev-experience, hiring playbooks, and the craft of running an engineering org — as long as it's grounded in lived experience rather than generic advice. A release note that explains the engineering behind a feature is fine; a release note that just lists what shipped is not.

Not accepted: changelog/marketing pages, launch announcements without technical substance, customer case studies, job listings or “we're hiring” announcements, affiliate or SEO-farm content, AI-generated bulk posts, NSFW material, or anything that reads as an advertisement for your product rather than something a reader can learn from.

If your blog is mostly about your own SaaS or product, that's fine — as long as it's primarily focused on technical content, not marketing. Our extractor filters off-topic posts per-run, and we may remove publishers whose posts consistently get filtered.

Anyone can submit a blog for review. Approved publishers are added to the scraper and start showing up in the Feed shortly after.
