#162Awesome to see this here and congrats on the launch, I'd followed some of your progress.

#163Is there an open standard for adding simple social features to an RSS based blog? e.g. a public friends list, likes/comments controlled (or at least signed) by the commenter
I think you are looking for Webmentions? https://indieweb.org/Webmention
Re: Show HN: Collected Notes – A note-taking blogging app I made
#164Less than a month ago I decided to build an app for myself to solve a very specific problem: “I want to be able to take notes on my phone, share some of them online, and publish a few on my personal blog — oh, an I also want an API!” I built this is because no tool out there satisfied my needs: - Notion had no native app so it's very slow to use on mobile. Plus is too general. - Medium is a disaster for readers, they…
Does it support images, latex and code highlighting? That's what I need. In principle, I have been looking exactly for something like this.

#165This is a well designed product. I really like it. The last days I was working on my personal wiki/notetaking/knowledge management because it was bugging me, that everything needs a subscription and offered too much or not enough[1]. The biggest problem I have is finding/discovering my notes or snippets, especially if its scattered across services. For public notes it's easy, using `site:domain.com searchterm` in a s…
oh wow, that's quite a setup you have. I found myself collecting a lot of private & public notes, and that makes it hard to find things quickly, I plan to work on that problem next. I'm thinking of a faster typeahead than the one the iOS app currently has plus some sort of categorization based on the note text (maybe using topic extraction).
Topic extraction is a very good idea (for public notes) using something like this: https://www.textrazor.com/ ?
(I knew I bookmarked this page, but couldn't find it and had to use google :D and 5 iterations of search terms to find it again - I need to improve that...)

#166Good show!
Personally, I don’t have a use for this particular app (at the moment), but I really like your interaction with people suggesting changes.
I also like that RotatO service. I bookmarked it.

Any idea what the cause is for that?
It does for me on iPhone, what device/browser are you using?
For me it works as well on Android with Firefox preview and Chrome.
Other really minor bug. In dark mode the [heart] in "Made with [heart] by Alejandro Crosa" isn't visible. (FF Preview)

On second thoughts, using a sub domain would make way more sense.
In that case: make sure you trust your registrar. There was a story here a couple of weeks ago or something with a post mortem from someone who got their websites taken offline and access to their mail suspended or taken offline because some automated system at a giant corporation decided so. It stayed offline for hours because there was no competent humans available with authority to override the clearly (AFAIK) stu…
Great tip - got a link for the story, by any chance? Or do you remember who the company was, so I can search for it myself?
EDIT: I couldn't find anything directly on point, but I did find this related horror story about a company whose ICANN email contact information no longer worked because the company's contact person had left the company. An ICANN email to the contact person bounced back. ICANN took the entire domain offline. The company's Web person had a lot of trouble getting through to a human at ICANN to straighten things out — and even then: "To make a long story short, my client was required to submit articles of incorporation, bank statements and other documents in order to get the domain working again."

EDIT 2: Thanks to Chris Morgan, who provided a link to a GitBook horror story. [1]
I added both stories to my "Startup Law 101" page [2], with a hat tip to both Erik and Chris.

The story in question: https://blog.gitbook.com/tech/post-mortems/06-20-gitbook-dom... (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23417046).
Note that in that case the user content was on a separate domain—the registrar blocked the entire account.

Hey, this looks great. One thing you might want to consider is having one domain for a website about collectednotes (collectednotes.com) and another for hosting user's blogs (collectednotes.blog for example) because it is currently not clear what urls are official and made by you and which are just blogs made by anyone. For example, https://collectednotes.com/accounts/ is genuine and made by you whilst https://collec…
Exactly. Having a bunch of keywords reserved like Twitter does would be handy.
