Svbtle

You might like what we've built with Write.as [0]. It's Markdown-based, but without all the publishing overhead of a static site generator. There are a lot of other great small platforms that are made especially for blogging, rather than being general-purpose like some of the options you mentioned. E.g. Bear Blog [1] and Svbtle [2] [0] https://write.as [1] https://bearblog.dev [2] https://svbtle.com

Search for RSS aggregators like Feedly. You can follow whatever blog you want and add them in a timeline. Or maybe you want something like https://svbtle.com/

Interesting. I've seen increasing number of posts on Github Pages[1], Octopress[2], Medium[3], and Svbtle[4]. It seems that (at least in the hacker community) there is an increasing shift to minimalist blogging stacks. I'm excited to see if the rest of the world follows.

He did say he didn't have any solutions. I'd recommend getting inspiration from other blogs, https://svbtle.com/ for instance.

No one has found a good solution to this problem. As an open community grows it will inevitably experience Eternal September and content quality will decrease. It happened with Usenet, Slashdot, Reddit, and Hacker News is following their footsteps. The upper echelon will migrate, others will follow. Perhaps closed communities with a curated member list is the answer[1][2]. Closed communities are not without its own drawbacks, but the trade off may be acceptable to some. Open communities allows for anyone's input, but you also get drama like arguing about Javascript semicolons or GitHub's commit messages. However, closed communities are susceptible to group think. How do you judge a minority opinion's validity? [1]: http://svbtle.com/ [2]: http://www.behance.net/

What? We're complaining about the disappearance of blog-rolls? Seriously? I think this article fundamentally misunderstands what the purpose of blog rolls was, and what has filled those niches since. Blog rolls used to basically fill two purposes, either 1) an exercise in co-branding (which folks still do: https://svbtle.com/ ), or 2) as a list of things that folks find interesting. 1) is kind of a boring subject, and people have sensibly realized that there's a lot more that goes into consistent branding than just providing some links. 2) Is the space where a lot of special built tools have popped up, whether it's pinboard or delicious, or twitter and tumblrs for link blogging. I would argue that this is a vastly preferable circumstance to having a blog roll. So, OP writes that "link love" is important. Sure it is. But one of the problems with link love, especially blog roll style, is that maintaining a list of links can be a pain in the ass, especially when blogs start winking out of existence. The lack of a blog roll doesn't mean that linking has gone the way of the dodo. We've just reorganized the net and the way linking takes place. "Wasteland" is a bit much frankly. Oh. this is to pimp a product. Nevermind. probably best just to ignore this entire conversation :P

Svbtle, a blog hosting service, follows this business model as well: https://svbtle.com/promise I've let my card lapse on it for a few months and they never deleted anything (I just hadn't been posting either).

Most probably because I haven't been able to setup HTTPS yet. I just moved my site to svbtle today (https://svbtle.com) and I'm still waiting for them to help with that

> and they leave behind valuable information for us Leaving information so far : 1. https://svbtle.com 2. https://posthaven.com 3. https://www.blogger.com ... Not sure, but self-hosting was ( is ) the only way for me to sleep safe.

I really like Ghost (https://ghost.org/). Currently I'm self-hosting but there's a hosted version for non-devs for $19 / month. I'm pretty happy with it. Svbtle (https://svbtle.com/) would be my next choice and one I'm considering switching to now that it's open to anyone. Though it doesn't quite have the community and support that Ghost does.

(Assuming you're not being sarcastic) https://svbtle.com/ is similar to Medium. Mentioning something ~nobody has heard of makes a lot of sense as an alternative to something that is too popular.

Posthaven[1] (by the founders of Posterous), Svbtle[2] and Ghost[3] come to my mind. [1] https://posthaven.com/ [2] https://svbtle.com/ [3] https://ghost.org/

While we're at it, Medium is just a ripoff of: https://svbtle.com/.

I have been using clearbit the last few months and it really is a great service with the best api docs and versioning I have seen to date (a la stripe). We use clearbit for company, persona, compliance, and prospect data. Checkout https://svbtle.com/signup for a great experience built on clearbit. @maccman + team is killing it. Clearbit is more narrowly focused on business apis, but in my experience Clearbit does a better job with company/persona data globally than orb intelligence, everstring, relateiq, madisonlogic. Feature request: Better api key management to easy manage multiple environments (upgrading api versions between dev/prod)

http://svbtle.com is nice. You can use GitHub flavoured markdown. The code highlighting is not ideal, but other than that it's a very nice platform.

and if you were there for the name, http://svbtle.com/ is a good alternative

Seems like we have come full circle and now blogging is again the new "it" product. I would be interested to see this compete against Medium in the space (though they have different use cases). Would be interested to know why blogging has become a hot button product all over again. in case you are forgetting all the awesome blogging related items that have cropped up in the last few months: 1. https://posthaven.com/ 2. https://medium.com/ 3. http://draftin.com/ 4. https://svbtle.com/ That's just off the top of my head.

To me it looks kind of similar to https://svbtle.com/, which is a network of chosen writers with multiple blogs aggregated to a single site.

Are you thinking of https://svbtle.com/ ? Yeah mine looks similar but I assure you, it wasn't ripped at all!

It's pretty much the modern equivalent of the argument for always underlining links to communicate that it can be clicked. Dustin Curtis's flat approach to buttons and links is to use rounded borders: http://svbtle.com. This will probably be how buttons will - and should - work in a flat design.

> Dustin Curtis's flat approach to buttons and links is to use rounded borders: http://svbtle.com Of course, they're so dim that I can barely see them at all... ><

Why are you using that theme? It's shitty to use someone else's design without their permission. (on the off chance that you've never heard of the Svbtle network (https://svbtle.com) it is a design that was created for an invite only network of bloggers, it's meant to establish a brand) Regardless of wether you think svbtle is a bunch of elitist wankers, there is no valid reason for appropriating their style. Furthermore, regardless of ethics, it is a distraction from your words. To the extent that the svbtle brand is built up, your choice in theme becomes more and more a statement instead of presentation. "Does the author dislike the svbtle network and is trying to drive them into obscurity, or does this person really like the network and wants to be associated with them even without permission"

>Put everything on the same plane, and you make it harder to focus on a specific section of the page. Citation needed. Edit: Since I'm getting downvoted, tell me that https://svbtle.com/ content isn't on the same plane and still readable? You can have everything on the same plane and with proper use of whitespace and good typography, it can be very readable. Other examples: http://daringfireball.net/ https://medium.com/about/9e53ca408c48 Hacker News

Your website - http://philipithomas.com - has exactly the same design as the - https://svbtle.com - network. Are you part of that network (if so... how did you do it?) or are you just really copying on a grand scale?

http://svbtle.com/ but it's for an exclusive group of writers.

We're actually pretty happy with the name choice. Mvsic should be an easy term to rank for, while also having connotations of "music" to a human reader. Plus, we think it's simple and elegant, which describes the service. See also: http://svbtle.com and http://svpply.com

Nice! I like simple websites like this, with a clear purpose, and no authentication (I built http://scri.ch/ some times ago, it allows users to quickly draw sketches and share them). Do you plan to generate revenues, and if so, how? Your logo reminds me of a mix between Sparrow and the Svbtle logos: http://sprw.me/mac.php https://svbtle.com/ Keep up the good work!

Off-topic: Anyone else noticing the proliferation of Svbtle[1] blogs on the front page of Hacker News today? I counted three in the top ten links just now. [1] - http://svbtle.com

It's called svbtle and the theme is part of a blog network. https://svbtle.com/

fwiw, this functionality is part of the blogging platform I am using: http://svbtle.com
