I'm trying to become less +obsessed about publishing only perfect diamonds made of words, but +instead also publishing articles that might still have some flaws or +that I haven't rewritten twelve times yet ;) + +As a result of this I have actually gotten more and more e-mails by +people saying that they read my blog, giving me feedback and sometimes +submitting patches to my [website] repository to fix typos or bad +formatting. And that's pretty cool. + +[website]: https://sr.ht/~spacekookie/website + +Recently I started thinking if the format of e-mail might not be well +suited for comments as well. Not just to me, but to allow other +readers to talk _about_ the stuff I post. I wasn't super sure if this +was such a great idea, after all...this is the internet we're talking +about. Someone will be an asshole and ruin it for everybody. + +Then I discovered Drew DeVaults `public-inbox` mailing list, +which is basically exactly what I thought about creating, +hosted on source hut. + +It might still be a terrible idea, but it's one I wanna try. I also +wanna automatically post new blog posts _to_ the mailing list, as +plain text, so people don't have to fuss around with my RSS feed if +they don't want to. I will host my `public-inbox` on source hut for +now too, especially considering that I've been trying it out for a lot +of smaller personal stuff, it makes sense. And I really quite like it +(might write about that in the future too) + +So, if you have comments, questions or want to fix typos, +feel free to check out my [public-inbox][inbox] + +[inbox]: https://lists.sr.ht/~spacekookie/public-inbox + +Let's see how this goes then 😀 |
