More like a minimally viable blogpost.
- tomjen3 15y agoThis actually comes back to something I have been thinking about for a long time. One can build a minimum viable product because it is then easier to change and one can reasonably expect to improve it, if it is a good market fit. On the other hand, blog posts are seldom changed once they have been written. Why not combine blogpost with a wiki style editing process? That way those who read it will be able to read the most uptodate version of whatever advice your post contains (even if it just "this article is very old and you should use version 4.8 for $PRODUCT instead")? It seems to me that blogs are written under then assumption that they were supposed to host a diary of sorts (where you would never have to update it once it has been written).
- dshah 15y agoThat's a really good point. I've actually considered going back through some old articles that were popular, and updating them -- based on things I've learned since then, and some of the comments from readers. Will have to try that out.
- jQueryIsAwesome 15y agoSoon a startup called "Wikiblogs". Where everyone can edit the blog posts (but the owner can deny/accept the changes... kind of like push-requests on github)
- dshah 15y agoYou have a high bar. I've written posts much more "minimal" than this one. I actually thought it was reasonably good -- and potentially useful. Will see if I can make the next post less minimal.
