The more I experiment with Notion, the more I find it interesting, powerful and useful. This thing can be a personal CMS for any blogger. I should write a blog post about this.

On bookmarking apps and services

Bookmarking apps and services like Pinboard are great but they offer limited features… (I was a user of Pocket before). For me, I decided to use more versatile tools like Notion.io instead. More complete, deeper learning curve but way more than bookmarking service. (I was evaluating Raindrop.io but stopped because of lack of support of multitasking on iPadOS. I wrote the developer about it. Still didn’t get a response). alanralph.co.uk/3721-2/

I almost forgot that I have a Podcast (in french). My last recording goes back to last summer. I didn’t mention it on my blogger workflow. Too insignificant I guess.

Because I’m a freak of visitors statistics in general, I just enabled Google Analytics for this micro.blog. Just another way to see if I get any attention (I’m not attention freak though!). 😊

Why, oh why? If I was blogging for fame, I would close all this shit right away! So, why am I doing all this? That’s the question that’s lingering in my head this morning. I guess this is a typital thing to ask myself, dear blogger. #blogger #bloggerlife #blogging

On Medium as a platform for bloggers

For those wonder about using Medium as a publishing platform. Here is a summary for my last four publications. See the difference when a story gets approved? The last three stories were not approved for publication behind their paywall. Not cool. It is a hit or miss and so you don’t want to build too much confidence in the platform to help build any form of sustainable revenue, even small.
