Let's make a new blog.
I've had a lot of projects on my plate for... a long time.
One of them is continuing my blog. Another is updating my site to show off other internet-connected hobbies.
I read a Bear-powered blog earlier today and thought it looked pretty cool. I thought, "I should try this, and see if the workflow is worth it."
Yes, I built my own site already, and I made it extremely, uh, "easy" to edit (it's not even in a git repository), but I've found now over a year later I still never touch it. Not even to upload my spiders!
The reason is that having a lot of manual process is friction. And Bear seems to strike a balance I can appreciate. It's an extremely simple plug-and-play system, but without bloat or hidden monetization. It's lightweight and flexible; I could edit the entire site structure and theme if I wanted to. But you know what? I really don't want to right now!
As in my previous "let's start a blog" post, I can only speculate about how much I'll really use this. I have a lot of ideas, and few of them really require me to keep a blog in this form, and some conflict with it. I have no audience (yet?), so I'm free to experiment, but that also means I don't get a lot of reward for posting my hobbies online.
I think I'll just end it here. Until next time!
