Ernestly live on Product Hunt today. Short-form blogging for startups
Hi all 👋
I've just launched Ernestly on Product Hunt and would love to hear any feedback you might have.
https://www.producthunt.com/posts/ernestly
Ernestly is a plain-text, short-form publishing platform for startups with post lengths of no more than 1200 characters.
The concept is inspired by TL;DRs. Short posts that are easy to digest but give you all the essential information. It also inspires more frequent writing while forcing you to be succinct. Posts are added to your profile, creating a log of your startup journey.
There are no images or hyperlinks to keep it focused on the words and to avoid spam. A single "source" link can be added per post for additional context.
There are no comments/likes etc. but every post has a quick-tweet button to allow the conversation to continue on Twitter.
It’s privacy first. So there are no ads and no tracking cookies used at all. And every publisher fully owns their content so that I can’t use your content for advertising.
It's fully built with Bubble as part of my 24 Hour Startups project with nocodefounders.com.
Would love to hear your thoughts!
I think your main competitor will be Twitter threads.

Good luck and upvoted!
" I’m charging annual or lifetime membership to the publishers" how do you plan on doing that with bubble?
Thanks buddy! Since launching it, I've actually changed it to free and will probably look at a paid-tier or other monetisation later. I did have it all setup though using Stripe. One-off payments and recurring subscriptions
