I really like the minimal design of Nicheless. I made my first post - https://nicheless.blog/post/learn-one-thing-well https://nicheless.blog/post/learn-one-thing-well Two questions come to mind. 1. It appears that url for a post is simply based on title of the post and not connected to the user. Wouldn't this mean that no two posts can have the. same title? As in if smoother user tried to write a post titled "learn-one-thing-well", they can't? 2. One of the reasons I keep my personal website+blog is because I'm wary of services that offer a nice place to write and then write a blog post "It was a great journey..... but now we got $$ from VCs or company X , so Byeee.". Nicheless looks very nice almost wanting me to suppress that concern, but it still is a legitimate concern. Do you have any thoughts for users like me? Cheers on a nice project! You must be very proud of your work!

Hey! Thank you for giving Nicheless a try. I read your post a little while ago :) Regarding your questions: 1. The URL will auto generate and append a digit to the end in case the title of the post has already been taken before. 2. I don't think of Nicheless as a replacement for a personal website or blog (I have both, maintained separately). I want Nicheless to be a place for more experimental thoughts. A space for ideas, a minority of which graduate into more polished articles on your personal blog. Also, I want Nicheless to be a place that facilitates exchange of thoughts and ideas between existing social connections, both IRL and online, and not with the primary focus being the open network on the internet (like Twitter). I've written a bit about it here:https://nicheless.blog/post/mission https://nicheless.blog/post/mission I'm aware that the positioning of the platform is still a bit fuzzy, and a lot of my goals aren't exactly obvious to users, but I'm going to work to improve on that. Thank you for giving it a try, and for taking the time to leave your feedback here :)

  Also, I forgot to mention. I don't have any plans of getting $$ from VCs as of now. Nicheless is a side project that I run because I believe it should exist. I hope that doesn't change in the future, unless I have no other option.

    Thanks for the refreshingly honest response. I like the idea of using a low-friction bounce board of raw thoughts and ideas, some of which may graduate to a blog post. I will continue to use Nicheless. Cheers!
