Would love to hear any comments and feedback you have.
Update: URL in todays newsletter issue has the wrong date in it. Just realised. Too late now, it’s been published and sent out. You’ll just have to deal with it. I apologise to the world on behalf of the world. Had the world been less angry perhaps this tragedy wouldn’t have happened.
What I learned trying to get active on Hacker News as a founder
Hey Mark, that's an interesting collection of topics. It is good to find History and Home Automation part of same list. I am definitely checking both of those podcast episodes.
I have been writing my blog and experimenting different ways to format text. I have found bullet points to be useful when the content in each bullet point is 1 or 2 lines long. When it comes to anything larger than that, I prefer splitting them into paragraphs with some kind of a subtitle to guide the reader between topics.
Thanks for the reply. I’m glad you liked the selection.
It’s a good idea to experiment with text formatting to find one that fits with your style. I use both short to medium length bullets, but also sometimes split them out into paragraphs.
In fact as it happens tomorrow’s linkblog the will have a bit of both.
