Unfortunately my code examples are not leet enough to fit in a Tweet. I dislike medium but I also worry that if too many people are reinventing their blog platform, aren't we risking low quality non-scrapable content? Is there a blogging platform that you just have to fill in the blanks and get RSS, accessible content with perhaps a very basic gui and code editor for posts?

  Google's Blogger still works pretty well for me although I don't use it a lot these days. (Most of my professional writing is published on platforms with editors and I sort of got out of writing random more personal musings--yes, probably in part because Twitter.) I even fired up a hosted Wordpress site a few years ago but then never did much with it so I shut it down.

  Ghost[0]. Seriously, from a user perspective, it doesn't get any simpler than that. You fill a few variables in settings, you write, that's it. I've toyed around with WordPress, Jekyll, Hugo, etc etc and spent more time making shit work as I want it to than I did actually writing things. Ghost is amazing and I won't look for anything else for a long time. [0] https://ghost.org/ https://ghost.org/

Is the idea that it should focus on software only?

  no of course, for example I am big fan of history bloggers. but it's very hard to find that kind of blogs. if you know such of blogs please contribute the project. if we have enough bloggers list we can create subdomains like (history.refined.blog , art.refined.blog ). it will be perfect

you should not sort alphabetically, people wil strategically name their blogs to appear at the top... Make some sort of random sort the default

Twitter is becoming less relevant for personal stuff, it's mostly politics now. For personal things, people use Tiktok and youtube now.

  > it's mostly politics now That depends on who you follow. It's in your hands.

  Do you have examples of people using tiktok for programming or software related topics? Generally curious what the content is like. Software talk on instagram is pretty surface level and very picture oriented (look at my desk setup/terminal/editor/whatever).
