Check out the new blog at asterisk.lol
Why I moved
Hashnode's problems:
Hashnode is a monolithic platform
I can't control my content's license
I can't open-source my blog (only the articles, Hashnode supports publishing articles from GitHub)
I can't control much in general about this Hashnode blog
I've moved some posts from here to the new blog, and new posts will go there. There is no newsletter, but it has RSS.
New blog
The new blog uses the Blowfish theme and is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Comments are powered by giscus (GitHub) and the blog is open source on GitHub.
With this, I can write content in pure Markdown and without telemetry or interference. You can read my posts without annoying newsletter popups or a lacklustre site.
People like the new blog, so I hope you will too.
