    1. 2

      At first, I thought it was about writing game with JavaScript. Though it's not.

      Thanks for sharing!

      1. 2

        That's interesting. Thank you for that feedback.

      While writing what the blog was about, it went beyond one or two phrases so I turned into its own blog post: https://manu.oscarryz.now.sh/about-this-blog.html

      Main takeaway

      There's something special about crafting your stuff, I guess similar to when we used to build our bows and arrows; if they suck you suck, but you can go home and improve them. When they work you feel proud. That's something we've lost in our technological evolution and yet so innate to human nature, it still finds its way in such an abstract world like the Internet.

    2. 1

      There was a few posts but they are thoughtful. The theme is pretty clean :)

      Thanks for sharing Oscar!

      Thanks for sharing Jochem!

        Thanks Hieu — yeah you're right, I may have to adjust my front-page a bit – it's not very clear right now.

    1. 1

      Hey Alex, interesting topic. I'm curious about the demand of buying internet businesses. Do you think there is a big demand?

      Thanks for sharing your blog

      1. 1

        Oh yes, Flippa and other marketplaces see a huge influx of buyers currently. 🔥

            Enjoy and let me know if you have any questions. Also my newsletter could be worthwhile to you, it's free.

    I was making a weekly blog post of the operational side of our startup. That didn't really get any long time readers though, so I've made it much more product oriented. As we are building an extension to help you not buy Chinese stuff, It looks like I will be doing a weekly update on Western manufacturing, Hong Kong updates, Uyghur updates, Huawei Canada trial, as well as a section on our extension and upcoming features.

    I'm trying to write something that people like to read, any blog on my site does increase our trustworthyness, but what I was writing before didn't have people coming back, so I'm trying to achieve that with a new format.

    1. 1

      Sound interesting, have you already have a blog yet?

      I'd appricate you sharing it :)

      Do you share your posts on Hacker News? I bet there are folks that interested in your content too!

      Thanks for sharing Petr!

      1. 2

        No I don't. I feel like most of my posts don't fit it there. But you are right that I should at least try with some of the more generic posts.

        1. 2

          I think HN is a bit weird. I've seen posts reached hot that was posted many times before, with less than 3 upvotes.

          Maybe whenever you complete an article, just post it on HN. It'd would hurt though. I think got some nice posts

    Rohov Dmytro — Optimal Entrepreneurship. Sharing tips and thoughts on surviving a solo-entrepreneurship journey based on my experience.

    1. 1

      Hey Rohov, your website has a very entertaining vibe.

      About the Gmail as a todo list, I saw someone talked about it before and was curious. I have 2 questions if you don't mind:

      1. Do you care about the due date?
      2. How do you feel about emails sent to you? (Since it's not your todo task)

      Thanks for sharing.
      P/s: I have just connected you on Twitter :)

      1. 2
        1. Nope. I tend to focus on big picture game-plan (marcro vision) and on next action (on a micro level). Timed stuff is schedule on Google Calendar.

        2. It's 100% fine.

        1. 1

          Cool man, thanks for the answer!

        thanks very much!, the next plan i want to make tutorial on english language

        1. 1

          Maybe depending on your autdience. I think keeping it in Indonesian language is a good desison. And multilingual is a big job.

          Hope you all the best :)

    Not exactly a blog but a magazine plus newsletter.

    MindfulDevMag - Helping thinkers to remove the BS from their minds so they can be productive and build their dream life. (Mindfulness + mental health)

    1. 1

      Hey Jens, it is well designed :) I had trouble navigation between posts within the issues at first, but get used to it after 3 times.

      I've added it to the magazine section above and thanks for sharing.

      1. 2

        Thanks. Could you please help me understand what problems you had with the navigation? I'd like to improve that.

        1. 1

          I think the navigation problem I had was:

          (1) Cover image without text links (subconsciously being ignore)
          (2) Can't scan through the issues/posts to decide what to read

          Here is my "user journey":

          First visit:

          1. Landed on home page: image cover and a red button (which I ignore both). Subconsciously, the color red means stay way.
          2. I clicked on Magazine tab, then scroll down and see a list of cover photo (which I also subconsciously ignore). Then I close the site.

          Second visit:

          1. I went through the same and ended up in one of the issue
          2. Scroll down and saw a list of links. Subconsciously, I thought it missing content. Since the post list looks more like recommended or related posts

          Third visit: I finally make some clicks and arrived at a post of an issue.

          I hope it help and let me know if you want to ask more question!

          1. 1

            Thank you very much. That helps :-)

            Fascinating how much you skipped subconsciously. Do you know why you ignore images and buttons? Was wondering if it was only the color red or if you do that on other sites too? Maybe we all get tired by those because it's on so many landing pages and usually, someone wants to sell something to us.

            Replaced the red in these places with the primary blue now. Probably going to remove the red altogether. Also, added some "click here " near the images for now. Have to revise this later.

            Would you expect to have all articles of an issue on the same page? Or more a card-layout than just a list with links? Or like a classic blog index page? Thinking how I could improve that.

            1. 1

              I'm glad it helps, the new button color is much more welcoming :)

              I skipped the issue cover images because when scanning, I only read the biggest text - "MindfulDevMag". It's better to shift the focus to the title.

              Read button does effect conversion on the landing page. In the past, I created a landing page to get the beta user signups. Red button convert much less than the dark green one (I didn't test on blue)

              Would you expect to have all articles of an issue on the same page?

              No, I don't. I think card-layout is nice and unique. As long as I can scan through and quickly find the most interesting post.

              P/s: When I was building a blogging platform, I realized optimize for users to quickly scan through content is important. It helps them find what they need quicker

              Besides, on the issue page, top of the page looks clean, though users need an extra effort (either click to the button or scroll down) to see the list of posts. Is there any other reason you doing that?

              1. 2

                Thanks.

                I offer the first 3 issues as PDF too. In this case, there are 2 buttons at the top. But as mention it now, it doesn't make any sense for the newer issues anymore.

    1. 1

      Hey Nico, thanks for sharing!

      I think the "Maiden voyage", you can chop down to 3 posts. Each one address one problem or one product at a time would help easier to digest.

      You're addressing a very important issue :)

      1. 1

        Thanks for the feedback, Jack!

        It would be tricky to split the newsletter up into three 3 posts, because then I'd have to send much more emails and I don't want to spam my subscribers :)

        But, I'll definitely think of a way to condense the content to make it easier to consume.

        1. 2

          That'd be even better :) I'm looking forward to it Nico!

      I thought about posting on of your post on Hacker News but saw you already did. And one of the posts got 278 upvotes. Nice! I think folks on HN will like to talk about this topic :)

      Thanks for sharing your blog!

        Hey there—

        there's not really a plan really. My friend and I just do it because it's fun and it was kind of a trial run for our next project which we are about to launch in 2 weeks.

        We got a lot of traffic from that HN post which was nice :)

      Michael, I read "Social (Media) Distancing" and thought the post is concise, clear with examples, and easy to read.

      Can you share how do you write a post?

      Thanks for sharing :)

          Thanks, Michael!

          I was wondering and looking forward to your answer today. I love to read and write blogs, but never really happy with my writing. I recently started to focus to improve it.

          Thanks for sharing the process. No wonder they were pretty good posts.
          I'll share the tips on Twitter :)

          As I have mention with Petr in this thread, I think HN is a bit weird. I've seen posts reached hot that was posted many times before, with less than 3 upvotes.

          Maybe whenever you complete an article, just post it on HN. It'd would hurt though.
