My blog ended up on Hacker News 😮

Of course, just as I made a post about changing blog platforms, someone shares another post from my blog to hacker news and it gets a little bit of traction. Yes this post is a bit "meta", and I am going to just braindump some thoughts on it as a result of it being shared there. I woke up on Friday morning and made our usual coffees for SWMBO and I, and although I don't always, I checked fedi and saw I had a notification that someone saw my blog post on "the orange site". Instant dread. They replied saying the coments weren't bad, so I had a quick look and yeah, not bad. Someone really dislikes the glow/shadow and font on my site though, which amuses me immensely. Not everyone has to like everything, so that's fine. Over the day I got a few comments on my blog, and an email, all of which were really nice and some even helpful with suggestions. I also rechecked the replies on the HN post and honestly there were some good ideas to try there. One day perhaps I shall try them. Either that…
