I use Jekyll and Forestry.io for my site but I’m also realistic and know that solution is a little too complicated for a lot of WordPress and Tumblr folks. The uptake in these tools are because of their simplicity, which honestly the design patterns haven’t changed in almost 20 years.
- RobGav 8y agoThere is a great solution Publii - works like WordPress but generated static files. Great tool for beginners or developers. https://getpublii.com https://getpublii.com
- aaaaaaaaaab 8y agoCome on man, 100% of your posts is shilling for Publii.
- wild_preference 8y agoThey really are. Does HN not do anything against accounts that so obviously advertise?
- gus_massa 8y agoThe mods can't see everything. It depends how evident it is and if the comments are relevant [1] and if the if the only purpose of the user is to make adds. My guess is that this user only makes a comment per month, so it's not so easy to remember. For an official reply, you can send an email to the mods hn@ycombinator.com and they can take a look at the history of comments of the user. [For example, this is an example of a comment that is not relevant at all https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16961492 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16961492 ] [1] It's fine to reply to the technical questions that appear about your page/app/product. It's not fine to add a link to your product in unconnected threads.
- type0 8y agoI agree. I'm okay with people promoting their stuff as long as it fits in the discussion and has proper disclosure that it's their project. But it's not very nice when almost every post is like this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16961492 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16961492 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18032223 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18032223 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16400684 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16400684
- sctb 8y agoYes! All: please email us when you see stuff like this. We read emails.
- eropple 8y agoTo amplify: they really do. I've got my beefs with HN moderation on occasion, but neither 'dang nor 'sctb have ever failed to respond to an email with a response, and a thoughtful one if it's a topic that needs one.
- shawn 8y agoThis is not correct. I have sent many which have gone unanswered. I can show them if you'd like. Dan answers if he likes you. It's as simple as that. If he doesn't, he either filters your emails and never sees them, or refuses to answer them. You are one data point. Please don't extrapolate it to those of us who have tried for months to get answers to specific questions.
- dang 8y agoYou've sent us hundreds of emails using many accounts. We responded to all of them until it became obvious that it was only energizing the problem, and even then never stopped responding completely. I doubt there has ever been a case of forum moderators treating a user with greater patience. It isn't infinite though. Since you won't stop posting abusive and misleading comments to HN, we're not going to unban you. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18412225 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18412225 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18294434 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18294434 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18224895 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18224895 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18061577 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18061577 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18054761 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18054761
