Comment on Show HN: Pagoda, a Zen-mode Jekyll blog editorparent

Comments

This "pop" usage of zen hurts my religious sensibilities. zen is about a being a lotus in a dirt-pool.

I'm sorry about it. I assume the word is also used in a sense of being calm and out of clutter.

Is't my dumb solution better than yours, for me atleast ?

If your solution works for you, it is definitely better. If you think others also would subscribe to your solution, do post it.

WTF is so zen about full-screen ?

IMHO, Zen is not just about fullscreen. It is about how much minimalistic and uncluttered your experience is.

Why aren't you solving real problems for bloggers, getting heard in a sea of me-too's, separating propaganda from truth.

I didn't start this project to solve problems for bloggers, there are plenty of them solving it really well. It is a niche problem that I had.

This. The startup-oriented audience sometimes forgets that people don't always start a project that scratches a universal itch. Sometimes you just want to make a small bit of your own life better and then share the solution with the world, just in case it helps someone else, too.

> Zen like blog editor for your Jekyll blog, heavily inspired by Svbtle and Obvtse.

What is the problem ?

>> I want to look cool like Svbtle ?

Give the stylesheet away for free.

>> I want to use browser to edit files ?

One important idea of jekyll was to use $EDITOR for blogging.

What about version control ?

> niche problem

sigh
