As we pass the halfway point of 2025, I thought it would be interesting to reflect on which blog posts performed best on my site this year so far. I covered everything from Angular animations to cookie management to emoji-powered dashboards. Here’s a breakdown of what worked based on raw visitor counts and a few takeaways for any other dev bloggers out there trying to reach audiences.
The Winners Circle: Angular Content That Clicked
- Home Page
Not surprisingly, the home page topped the list. It’s a reminder that clear site navigation and a compelling landing page matter. - Make a Bomb-Ass Dashboard with Angular Gridster2
My top actual blog post. Devs love visual dashboards and drag-and-drop interactivity. Gridster2ās flexibility and usefulness in enterprise UIs probably helped here. I also had a solid demo gif, which might have boosted engagement. - You Should Add š canvas-confetti š to Your Angular Project
Confetti makes everything better. This post combined fun with practicality and probably got a bump around holidays and launches. - šŖCookie Managementš„ in Angular With ngx-cookie-service
Not flashy, but necessary. This post hit the SEO sweet spot: a common Angular problem paired with a clean solution. - My Favorite Free Firefox Browser Extensions for Job Searching
A rare non-Angular post that still did well. Shows that devs are thinking about productivity and job hunting too. - šÆš± Master the Almighty Custom Context Menu in Angular
A very specific UI challenge that clearly resonated. Custom context menus arenāt covered a lot, so this filled a niche.
Honorable Mentions and Fun Experiments
- šValentine’s Day Canvas Confetti For Your Angular Project
Timely, themed content has a niche audience but can become evergreen if it’s fun and visual. Might rebrand this for other holidays in the future. - Steppin’ š With š The š” Angular š¢ Material š Stepper
I leaned hard into emoji branding here. While views were low, it was a creative take on a dry topic and a blast to write. - šMake an Emoji Confetti Cannon with Canvas Confetti
Clearly, confetti and Angular are a winning combo. This one is pure novelty, and that’s okay. - āļø Snowfall Effect in Angular with canvas-confetti āļø
Another seasonal hit. A pattern emerges: Angular + canvas-confetti = decent traffic.
Low-Traffic Posts That Deserve More Love
- š¤TypeScript Pick: Super Easy Example for Beginners
Short, helpful, but maybe drowned out in a sea of TypeScript content. - š¦“Skeleton Loader𦓠with Angular Directive
I thought this would be bigger. Skeleton loaders are hot in modern UIs. Possibly needs better SEO or a more exciting title. - š”How I Made an Interactive CV With Angular Gridster2
One lonely click, but I stand by this post. It was a cool project and could resonate more with better promotion.
What Didn’t Work
Some topics just didnāt catch on this year. My React and Svelte posts got minimal traffic. Even the more practical Angular posts like service patterns or route animations landed at the bottom of the list. These could just be saturated topics or perhaps not marketed well. Posts with technical depth but bland titles likely suffered the most.
Takeaways for 2026
- Devs like visual, interactive, and fun content. Dashboards, canvas animations, and UI flourishes pull readers in.
- Don’t underestimate seasonal content. Even if itās short-lived, themed posts can give you spikes and link opportunities.
- Niche tutorials win. The context menu post shows that solving a specific problem beats general advice.
- Marketing and timing matter. Several great posts never found an audience. In 2026, Iāll focus more on sharing content strategically instead of just hitting publish.
If youāre running a tech blog, especially focused on frontend development, I hope this gives you some inspiration and practical ideas. Here’s to another year of coding, creating, and confetti.
