Ask HN: Feedback on an indie app idea for native desktop blogging?

  • I'd like to offer my comments as well. I do not blog, but did for a short period of time.

    What's your position, what does this offer instead of a web-hosting solution, is it security, privacy? I like the thought of it being hosted outside of a pre-packaged vendor but that's only to satisfy my desire to help the underdogs above anything else.

  • This is a rather crowded space imo.

    Why would I want to use this instead of Medium?

    Are you handling all the domain management (purchase, routing, etc.)?

    What would it cost?

    As someone who writes a lot of code how-tos, there is room for improvement. In my mind that improvement is largely around formatting and displaying/running code in the users reading environment.

    Just my two cents.

  • Ssg can be used by simply editing txt files with whatever editor on any os and even using github online.

    The only way to succeed is to build 100x better ux in your app than ssg with fancy img, video, frames inserting etc.
