Hey! Thank you for giving Nicheless a try. I read your post a little while ago :)

Regarding your questions:

1. The URL will auto generate and append a digit to the end in case the title of the post has already been taken before.

2. I don't think of Nicheless as a replacement for a personal website or blog (I have both, maintained separately). I want Nicheless to be a place for more experimental thoughts. A space for ideas, a minority of which graduate into more polished articles on your personal blog. Also, I want Nicheless to be a place that facilitates exchange of thoughts and ideas between existing social connections, both IRL and online, and not with the primary focus being the open network on the internet (like Twitter). I've written a bit about it here:https://nicheless.blog/post/mission

I'm aware that the positioning of the platform is still a bit fuzzy, and a lot of my goals aren't exactly obvious to users, but I'm going to work to improve on that.

Thank you for giving it a try, and for taking the time to leave your feedback here :)

Also, I forgot to mention. I don't have any plans of getting $$ from VCs as of now. Nicheless is a side project that I run because I believe it should exist. I hope that doesn't change in the future, unless I have no other option.
Thanks for the refreshingly honest response. I like the idea of using a low-friction bounce board of raw thoughts and ideas, some of which may graduate to a blog post. I will continue to use Nicheless. Cheers!
Cheers!
