Notes vs Blogs

There is a huge gap in writing and publishing. 

You write all the time. But you publish only a few times.

your writing apps and publishing apps are different. 

Publishing apps don’t bring anything to the table. They only host html for you. They don’t make it easy to write, they don’t make it easy to capture ideas, they don’t solve distribution. Social media enables distribution. Ask any new writer who has started a substack newsletter or a medium blog. They are posting links on their twitter, linked in, or whatsapp groups.

you don’t share enough because it is difficult to host a website or craft the perfect blog post. Because you don’t share enough, there is lesser reason for you to write more and write better.

People don’t know what you think or what your ideas are. Paul Graham won’t have the influence today without his essays. 

it is time to stop treating the blog post as a unit of knowledge. A note is the correct unit. a note can become a tweet or it can become a long post. A note is a unit of written thought. Not a unit of publication.
