(writer of the site here) I've never liked Twitter, or any mainstream social media for that matter. The only one that came close for me was Google+, that was brilliant, I thought. …

I think you misspelled “profit” there. Engagement isn't the driver for the algorithm, profit is. It’s all about showing “fresh” content on every refresh so they have your eyes long…

Really glad you’re enjoying it! :)

Im a firm believer in links being underlined. I also wanted it to be a little opinionated, as to started life as a personal project, yet easy to customise.

That’s what I see a framework as being - sane defaults. It’s a way to get started quickly without having to write everything from scratch. I would argue that “frameworks” like Boot…

You're absolutely, 100% right...unfortunately.

Damn. I forgot that's how the Internet worked - if you disagree with something, that means you cannot use it to your advantage ever again. I disagree with working a 5 day week too.…

Completely agree with this. I have a semi-successful blog and what I would consider to be a successful career. My blog has never helped my career, but I enjoy the process of writin…

You get out what you put in when running a blog. You need to market your site unfortunately. That’s where SEO, social sharing, newsletters and all those other annoying things come …

I’m using (and really enjoying) Bear. https://bear.app/

I respect the privacy of my readers, so I’d never dream of using Google Analytics - it’s awful. Both Plausible, Fathom and GoatCounter are privacy respecting alternatives to GA. Ho…
