undefined | Better HN

I am adding to my journal every day.

If someone checks my journal on Monday, unless they scroll to the bottom to check for new journal entries on Tuesday, they shall miss the journal entries I added Tuesday. (Unless they come back but I feel I have one chance to gain a regular reader)

I submit to HN when I reach a new batch of 100-300 entries.

I don't want people to not see the new entries.

I only tweak or add to older journal repositories, I don't add new entries to the bottom of those repositories.

Your submissions have all been marked as spam and no-one ever saw them (they're all [dead]).

I think it's because you put a number in your titles so they all looked like blog spam articles '100 ways to improve you sex life'

Hunh??? (Also, why would anyone want to read anyone else’s personal journal, I mean, I guess if you were Donald Trump it might be “interesting”. But if there were more than, like, three of these that I followed, I’d be reading personal journals more than doing anything else. I barely have time to follow podcasts that drop once a month, much less the random musings of random hackers.)

I see my journal of ideas as a blog. I just happen to use GitHub and it is formatted as a journal.

I am always looking for high quality things to read. So I'm interested in other people's blogs such as Joel on Software or Jeff Atwood or Joe Duffy.

If you don't find it interesting then you are not the intended audience.

Oh. I see. Yes, framing this as using GitHub as a (micro)blogging platform makes it make much more sense (at least to me).
