I'm planning to potentially start separating my blog posts entirely from my website for similar reasons. I've been trying to think about why it's easier for me to write long replies on HN than it is for me to blog, and I think that putting posts on a pedestal and caring too much about formatting everything and making sure they're perfect is part of it.
My thought is, I might start writing posts and pushing each one to a completely separate subdomain or even completely separate domain entirely using something like Netlify. And separately maybe I start to grab some of them and compress them into an RSS feed or copy them to the main site -- but I hate trying to think up-front "how does this contribute to my 'brand'?" And I'm wondering if having more of a "throw it out into the void, link it on some social networks" attitude might help alleviate some of that problem.
