That is (a) not true and (b) a non-issue, because you can create as many groups as you'd like.

> PostX is indeed something like a private blogging space. I just wanted a place where I can dump my thoughts without feeling like seeking immediate attention.

So, you are working on yet-another blog engine and you are promoting it like it's some revolutionary new idea? It may be interested for you if you want to treat it as some exercise, but do you see how underwhelming this seems to anyone else?

I am solving a problem I myself had and seeing if anyone else might find it interesting.

It may or may not take off like every other startup and I am fine with it.

Why the snark?

There is no snark. I'm just genuinely trying to warn you that you seem to be going down a rabbit-hole. You seem to be more enamored by working on your solution rather than solving your problem.

For you, it might be that exercising your design/coding/architecture chops might be valuable in itself - which is totally fine. But do not think for a second that other people need to particularly care about your solution to a problem, when there are already hundreds of similar projects that are more mature, more familiar and ready to be deployed.

(edited) Thanks!

We’re doing this just as an experiment — it doesn’t have to turn into anything big, so no rabbit hole problem.

English isn’t my first language, so it’s sometimes hard for me to infer things from just text.

Really appreciate your thoughts, especially since you’ve done a lot of work in this space.

We don’t think our idea is “revolutionary” or anything like that, and we’re not trying to spin it as one. At best, it might take off; at worst, it’s just a way to practice our programming skills.
