Did.
Got distracted by choosing one.
Got distracted by choosing a template.
Got distracted by problems with Markdown (an8d Asciidoc).
Get distracted every time I want to write.
After I got my html "template" up and running I just copy that and write whatever I want to write.
Conclusion: for me, when writing, finding the correct tools prevented me from just writing.
(I have however spend some time on my developer tooling and feel I get a good return on investment there. Currently (for 5+ years) Netbeans and Maven, and later also VSCode + Yarn.)
- kerrsclyde 9y agoAmen to this. I've spent more time than I dare to admit trying to rebuild my person web site which I ran successfully from 2000-2012. Which coding framework should I use, CSS, database, hosting platform, the list goes on. I should have just spent the time writing it all in plain vanilla html (which I've now started doing). Ironically if I'd start posting my content on a social network where I had no control over how it looked/functioned I would have spent my time actually putting together something useful.
