The best part for me is receiving some random emails from time to time with people saying they liked my post or poem or something else.
I don't have expectations for those letters though. Intentionally I don't have google analytics on my site. When I did have it, it influenced how and what I was writing.
Now I just write for myself. And if my writing happens to be valuable to someone else - it's a bonus. Mostly I write when I want to offload some thoughts about some topic. When I finish thinking about something, I write it down and that topic is "closed" for a while.
Also, what helps me to write and publish is my setup. I changed setup many times. When there was friction to write and publish - I rarely did it.
For a few years I had following setup:
1. keep files in dropbox
2. sync them and publish automatically using montaigne.io
Now I switched and instead of Dropbox I use Apple Notes. Because it's easier to write, and mobile UI is better and it supports tables and images out of the box.
Cool, I just signed up. Is there no way to change your site's URL once you've picked it in settings? Can you use a custom domain or will it always be x.montaigne.io? The help page is empty - this would be a good place to put FAQs. FYI I'd be willing to pay for something like this as it tears down all excuses for me not to have a blog, and I'm sure many Apple users would share that sentiment.
good question. I think blog post is required. But basically all the shared notes are synced to the apple minis in the cloud. and each apple mini writes local apple script to export notes.
