Author here. That's actually why I had written this for myself (although compared to you, my karma's comparatively low)

I felt as if I had written quite a lot on HN and I was always referencing my past comments. I just usually write what I am thinking so I do have quite a filler words in my HN comments, but still, I wanted to see how many words have I written in the first place & I wrote this thought in another comment & thought that its pretty interesting, let's do it. Maybe others would be curious too :)

But essentially, some part of me wanted to write blog too to quickly reference it and be part of the indie-web.

This is something that I wrote in that comment

"I guess I can write it but I already write like this in HN. The procastination of writing specifically in a blog is something which hits me.

Is it just me or is it someone else too? Because on HN I can literally write like novels (or I may have genuinely written enough characters of a novel here, I might have to test it or something lol, got a cool idea right now to measure how many novels a person has written from just their username, time to code it)"

So you aren't alone in having the procastination around making a personal blog. This is literally why I had made this idea so if this project (or discussion) helps you in making a personal blog & helps atleast a single person (meaningfully). I would consider my project to be success :)

Have a nice day and good luck for your personal blog!

Aha, yeah I have dozens of text notes on my computer that are just links to a HN comment with "expand on this as a full post."

I definitely feel like I've written at least 50-100 decent blog posts as HN comments over the years.

And thanks!
