HN discussionI've built a service that lets you create a micro-blog from a paper journal: https://paperwebsite.com/ It's given me great joy just publishing my unfiltered thoughts on the internet straight from my pen, which sounds similar to the "unfocused blogs" the author was talking about.

HN discussionThis is really cool OP - did you create the list of prompts? I'm working on Paper Website[1], which lets you turn a handwritten journal into a tiny daily blog. I've written nearly 150 posts[2] this way, and I think what's made me so consistent is having an "audience". It sounds weird, but there's ~200 email subscribers to my journal, and it's had nearly 200k page views. Knowing people are reading my stuff motivates…

HN discussionI thought it the predecessor of this https://daily.tinyprojects.dev/paper_website where someone writes blog posts on paper and trained an ai to scan the handwriting and post it online.
