Ask HN: Do you know any cool online writing community?

[dbustac]

I’m looking for online writing communities to join. Do you know any?

[SubGenius]

Not very active yet but Gurlic does have a writing community.

https://gurlic.com/writing

We have articles too (with an editor and everything):

And publications as well, but this needs a lot more work:

The writing community feels a lot like DEV in that it's full of low quality, well-written articles.

Articles that are both low quality and well-written? What?

[muzani]

Yup. Beautiful, well thought out, but no value. The opposite of a HN comment. Here the comments are sloppily written out, but they have a lot of insight. Whereas on places like DEV it feels like a lot of the writing are marketing pieces, made to position the writer as an expert.

Don't know how cool it is, but there's Everything2, which I've landed on from time to time.

I like https://bloggingfordevs.com/ if you are a developer like me. You do not sound like you consider blogging, but you might change your mind after checking us out.

[dbustac]

I’m not a developer. But I do blog. Will check y’all out.

Thanks!
