I don’t care if anyone reads mine.
If you need it (happen to find it on a search engine and click on one of my posts), you’ll see what’s in it.

#622Great 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…

on lobste.rs around 20% of the content or more seems to be submitted by the authors. They have a separate tag which tells if the submission is added by the author or by somebody else.

I've been blogging for about 20 years. Exactly what I write about has changed over that time (of course), but in recent times I've been writing about my PhD (applying purely-functional programming to distributed stream processing); cultural stuff I like, books, music, in particular Nintendo Switch games recently; free software stuff, particularly around Linux and Debian (I'm a Debian developer); note-taking and personal productivity; reading and archiving old media (minidiscs, ZIP drives, stacks of DVD-Rs, floppy disks); my fledgling adventures in 3D printing; retrocomputing and restoring my old Commodore Amiga; various classic Doom hacking projects I've worked on; running and maintaining a DIY free software NAS; computing history and preservation…
I wouldn't normally post in a thread like this but a friend put me up to it. Any feedback appreciated.

I think you should read my blog because I invest a lot of effort into researching my posts. Each post outlines a well-researched idea for SaaS Product.
It contains mockups, research, a strategy on where to find your first 10 customers etc

#625Earlier 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…
> Btw using mobile emulation I tried iPhone 5/SE/6/7/8/X, and on none of those did the signup form take up the whole screen.
I should have specified here: I didn’t open the site all the way, instead I did a long press on the link from HN which shows a preview of the page in a smaller-sized frame. This frame only showed me a signup link, so it was enough for me to determine your site must not be worth my time, and I closed the preview. I do this with nearly all links to sites I haven’t been to, exactly because it’s easier to close the preview when it’s something like this signup link.
> Don't know why you think my emails are spam! I think there are nicer way to convey your message, but appreciate you are sharing your thoughts.
Others have chimed in to clarify here, but I haven’t seen anything on your site yet but a signup form. How am I to know it’s not spam?
If you’re like me, you don’t just go putting your email into random fields on the web, because the probability a given signup link will eventually give your email away to scammers is really high. If not because the site you’re on is a scam site, then because the database it’s using will probably get hacked some day. Or maybe they’ll sell the site to somebody else some day, and the whole mailing list goes with it. Who knows. But a general policy I have is, I just don’t give my email out to people I don’t trust. (And I just arrived at your site, how would I know to trust you? Because you say so?)

#626I'm at https://www.swyx.io/writing/ I write about Frontend dev (React/Svelte/Tailwind/etc) and Node/Serverless, but my best pieces are junior/intermediate dev career advice stuff and that has frontpaged HN a few times - https://www.swyx.io/writing/learn-in-public - https://www.swyx.io/writing/svelte-static - https://www.swyx.io/writing/coronavirus-recession/ - https://www.swyx.io/writing/writing-mise-en-place/ - http…

#629https://commoncog.com/blog/ I write mostly about career moats. I wrote a post about the Metagame that was on HN's front page a few weeks ago. But the context in which that post exists is actually in the context of smart thinking in one's career. My hard rule with the blog is that I should (as much as possible) write only about things I can verify through practice. None of that 'it sounds insightful because it is nove…
I read that article about metagame, was really amusing. There is something going on with communities, products and how people gravitates to Apple, Linux/Unix, Windows or Amiga "ecosystem". I think it there is some meta stuff there (not sure if should be called metagame). Just a thought.
OT: Why your blog articles are not dated?
