#293Great thread! I sometimes wish there was a variant of Hacker News that only had blog posts written by individuals. Mine is https://tkainrad.dev I think you should read my blog because I invest a lot of effort into my posts. Not sure why I do that, as there is no reward except growing Google Analytics numbers. My three most successful articles have been - Managing my personal knowledge base: https://tkainrad.dev/posts…
> I sometimes wish there was a variant of Hacker News that only had blog posts written by individuals. I’ve been thinking about the same thing. Something styled along the likes of HN (Eg super minimal), but focussed on technical/HN-crowd topics and every post on the front page is a blog post, and every user profile shows all those user’s posts. Akin to Medium or Wordpress.com but minimal and very technical. Of course…

This is something myself and a partner are working on. Clean UI with a focus on techincal content written in a markdown editor. Any writing about hardware or software is welcome, dev spam gets moderated. We've had a some decent contributors so far but getting the content flywheel going is definitely the hardest part. We're busy fine-tuning a release with updated import/export features and markdown editor updates which will hopefully help attract more people.

For the past 6+ years, every morning I read the internet and share with you a summary of what I thought was cool. Sometimes it’s business shit. Sometimes it’s artsy shit. Sometimes it’s random shit. But every time, it’s #CoolShit
I know you’ll dig it!

#295Mine is https://chollinger.com/blog/. I write about fun tech challenges, mostly centered around the "Big Data" and "Data Science" world, even though last year, I've done a bit more hardware and random stuff.
I only post every couple of months or so, because every article takes me quite a while to write (as they are typically small side-projects) - everything that has code has a Github repo attached, so whatever I ramble about, you can try it yourself.

Its old school, 20 year old custom blog. Theres lots to see. It has history unlike most modern web stuff. Pictures of food, controversial tech articles, metaphysical poetry, and small island life. Come to think of it I need a new camera.

I started writing 2017 as a new years resolution.
Back in the days I mostly wrote about things that I encountered in my daily development work and saw people struggle with or I struggled with myself. Webpack, React, etc.
It helped me to understand things by writing explanations for other people.
2019 I started to get offerings from companies to write for them, that moved the focus from my own problems in frontend development to the problems of other people. I wrote a few interesting pieces about APIs.
Today I make most of my money by writing for different companies all over the world, often I don't find the time to create my own content anymore, so my blog is often filled with guest posts.
On the one hand it's sad, because it goes more into the agency direction than into the influencer direction, but on the other hand I make good money with writing, and normally writers aren't paid well, so I got that going for me, haha.

However I have to say I’m not as motivated to write anymore. For tech answers like what I used to write, stack overflow and related are really best imo. For other interests, like personal finance or art, there is such a glut of content, it’s hard to be motivated to “add to the noise”. I hope to find some motivation and niche ideas here to get back to it.

#300Earlier quoted context omitted.
I checked out your first link (on an iPhone) and all I saw was a mailing list signup form taking up the whole screen. I always wanted to ask people who do things like this on their websites: Why? Why if I’ve never even seen your site, do you think that the first thing I want to do is divulge my email address to you and receive spam? I don’t know even one thing about your site yet. Haven’t read word #1 from headline #…
Sorry you feel that way. I'm an independent creator and agree there's lots of room for improvement on everything I build, sometimes I do the thing that works/is quickest to do, move on, and then revisit when I have time - the design of the site, web optimisation techniques, a11y best practices, offline support, less gimmicky call-to-actions, marking deprecated features are examples of things I defo want to prioritise…
Since this sub-thread intrigued me... I went to check this out. 11” iPad Pro running latest iOS gives me: https://imgur.com/ZSGMrC0
The only actual content is one headline at the bottom. Mailing list signup occupies the rest of the screen.
