   Yes, a couple issues along the way. Honestly, they were minor enough that I don't remember the specifics, and it didn't take me long to fix. Since they're not at v1.0 yet, this is to be expected somewhat.

   Hugo is, IMHO, one of the best, most versatile options out there for an SSG. I've been using it since v0.15 (now at 0.37). I use it for a simple, mostly text, blog ( https://kar.ai ). I also use it for an image-heavy company

   Did it buzz and/or light up? Isn't that just as distracting? Would a phone on silent/vibrate only mode offer the same convenience?

   A lot of people on this thread have praise for Pebble watches. I never owned one or any of its current competitors. Always got a a gimmicky feeling from those types of devices (i.e. no real added value over a regular watch and smartphone).

    All useful, thanks. Two questions: 1. What does tag manager do that simple analytics can't? 2. What is the lowest traffic amount needed to effectively A/B test?

    Good advice. Where have you found good marketers that you can engage on a long term? A few marketing companies I've talked to are either (1) we'll write a blog post for you every month for $100 or (2) pay us $60K a year and we&#x2

    This is a helpful list, thanks. I've read traction as well, and am currently using the Bullseye Framework [0] with some success. At the end of it, it still feels a lot like " throw stuff against the wall and see what sticks "

    Getting into a rapid growth area definitely gets you a leg up. I'm in such area (ketogenic diet). However, that's not a magic bullet. There's competition still for eyeballs. How to get some of those eyeballs on your product c

    I agree, but in the beginning, I've found that knowing the basics goes a long way. I learned to program to build a product, and learning the basics of online marketing follows the same vein.

    fair enough. however, that's exactly my point. a publishing tool that allows you to publish, without learning any tools, like wordpress except faster, since google is going to start penalizing slow sites July 2018.

    there are still options to handle comments (disqus, facebook comments etc.) that don't need a database on your server. there's solutions for pretty much every dynamic aspect of a blog. If wordpress is slow, and google is going to

    It'd be interested to know what percentage of WordPress sites are 'content-only' static sites. i.e. users are not logging and/or getting personalized content. WordPress seems overkill for that niche, and this may be an o

    I agree with the sentiment that most papers have very little value in the long run. So I have 4 'bins' to categorize physical papers - scan & keep, scan & shred, shred, throw. This system usually eliminates a lot of papers

    Incremental feedback. How this works depends on the project. Instead of one multi-year project, it needs to be broken down into digestible chunks, at the end of each you have to have a mechanism that tells you a simple 'yes, keep goi
