Jos Poortvliet writes all mine!, a personal blog at blog.jospoortvliet.com about programming and culture. Since 2012, 10 different Hacker News readers have linked it 14 times, most often “Getting involved in Free Software”. The last post was in 2020, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (6) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Jos Poortvliet's blog for his open-source coverage, including a comparison of LibreOffice's Collabora and OnlyOffice and his posts on the ownCloud and Nextcloud split. One commenter calls the comparison worth reading.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 6 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

HN discussionhttp://blog.jospoortvliet.com/2016/06/nextcloud-is-replacing... >'why' is the question everybody has and I hope you understand I don't want to talk too much about that Grow up, maybe, Jos?
