I've learnt that blogging is a necessary part of my practice for finding and exploring new ideas. It's brought me work and friends. And there's especially a place for blogging today: no platform will value your words like you will yourself.
I usually have ~10 drafts of different posts and many of them are basically "project logs" that I transform into a post over days/weeks/months.
I restored some of my content from there a few years ago: https://simonwillison.net/2017/Oct/8/missing-content/
idea capture is upstream of everything else. you can do drafting or editing a month later or a year later, when the mood comes
I wrote a Colophon recently about my blog tech stack. it includes a "Writing" section which touches on how I start with idea capture (and also the psychological blockers about doing everything else)
Guess it's not QUITE as quick to set up as creating a login, but considering the resiliency you get from it it's pretty darn painless. Best of all Nostr is all key based logins, so just think about those seconds you save typing in usernames and passwords!
Also handy in that if you're involved with other work across Nostr, it's all tied right back through that identity. Be it podcasts (fountain.fm), livestreaming (zap.stream), static video content (flare.pub), travel content (satlantis.io), or whatever else you may be playing with.
