There's one thing I want to scream at every front-end developer out there: STOP OPENING POPUPS WHEN I'M SELECTING TEXT! Again: STOP OPENING POPUPS WHEN I'M SELECTING TEXT!
I've been yelling about this for years, but please start & own your own blog. Use webflow, ghost or whatever you like, but wordpress is good enough for most people. HN audience can likely handle their own, but if ease-of-setup is an issue - I created StartABlog.com to help people do this (and we'll actually set up your site for you for free - https://startablog.com/start ). Own your platform. Own your content. Own yo…
I agree. Many years ago I was really happy with medium as a reader. And the feed algorithm was decent enough. By no means the perfect content but for the most part it pushed forward things I was interested in. However, the monetization model turned medium(originally a decent blogging platform) into tumblr and it was a race to the bottom from that point. Any website that asks you to register in order to read a blog po…
I don't see it wrong to use it as marketing strategy.
Another thing I would echo here is that you don't necessarily need a CMS / WYSIWYG editor to run a great blog. A tiny script that dynamically compiles your markdown flavour of choice and has a nginx reverse proxy in front of it will be able to survive a reddit frontpage hit on a $5/mo vps, and it will be dead simple to set up. If you're looking to move off Medium, give it a try. If anyone is interested I'm happy to s…
Add a free tiered CDN in front of that and you're certainly good to survive any spike in traffic.

What's the best static site generator that meets the following requirements: a) Doesn't use node.js. b) Has built-in syntax highlighting for C#, SQL, PowerShell and Rust at a minimum. c) Is also good at "photo journals" or galleries. I played around with Hugo, but the themes were ugly and it was very weak at managing pictures associated with an entry instead of the entire site.
Check out Jigsaw, it's a PHP based static site generator

Another related pet peeve is when websites use JavaScript to silently stick a citation at the end of the thing you copied.

No, you should stop with your compulsive behavior of selecting text for no reason at all. Fix the cause, not the symptom.

I have also been looking for something like this for a while and I can't find it.
All the static HTML gallery generators seem to be focused on dumping all images into them at single time. They don't have RSS feeds, or a convenient option to add entries one at a time as you go along like you would in a blog.
On the other hand, blog generators generally aren't optimized for mostly displaying images (e.g. automatic resizing, thumbnail view, etc.)

Try Jekyll. In addition to the above it generates static pages rather than looking into the database and templates all the time.
