Ask HN: Small bootstrapped founders – how do you prioritize resource allocation?
I don't have a plan for https://pagecord.com. Life's too short. YOLO, etc.
My app is relatively feature rich right now so I would say I spend a lot more time on marketing. I still add features of course (and they are a form of marketing), but with AI help these take a lot less time than they used to. Trying to figure out distribution channels, build awareness and so on is the hard yards in 2025.

Ask HN: If not Kubernetes, what do you use to run your apps?
I have a single server running https://pagecord.com. I use Hatchbox on a Hetzner server. I wrote a bit about it here:
https://olly.pagecord.com/migrating-the-pagecord-rails-app-f...
I have plenty of paying customers but I still think K8s would be complete overkill at this stage.

Ask HN: What are you working on? (May 2025)
Once I add private blogs/post support to Pagecord, it will kinda do this automatically. Maybe. Sort of. https://pagecord.com.

Ow I Blog with Obsidian, Hugo, GitHub, and Cloudflare – Zero Cost Owned
Big fan of Cloudflare Pages for static sites. Personally I prefer Jekyll (Ruby innit) and VS code but same workflow and result.
These days for daily blogging I built Pagecord so I can just type an email and clicking Send :) https://pagecord.com

Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2025)
https://pagecord.com
Blogging by email. The best way to blog.
Pagecord makes blogging so effortless you'll want to write more. Publish posts by sending an email (or use the Pagecord app). Your readers can follow you by RSS, or subscribe to your posts by email.
Share long-form posts or short stream-of-consciousness thoughts. Both look great!
Pagecord is independent, open source and built to last :)

Ask HN: Anyonne tried alternative company models (like a co-op) for SaaS?
I’ve been thinking about this lately for my publish-by-email app, Pagecord (https://pagecord.com). I’ve made it open source (https://github.com/lylo/pagecord) but I’ve been thinking it would be really cool if paying customers had a stake in it somehow. The Subvert model is interesting for sure.

Pagecord: Publish your writing effortlessly from your inbox
Very clear pitch at https://pagecord.com. The video explains it all in a few seconds. Clear distinction from being yet another minimalist blogigng platform or static site.

Rails for Everything
Rails is wonderful and I’m thankful for what the community (and DHH) has done over the years.
My company (founded 2007) was built on Rails and that B2B app now has 200,000 customers… all on a Rails monolith, the same code base that has evolved with Rails over the years. It’s not just for side projects!
That’s said, I run my current side project on Rails 8 and Postgres (I don’t get on with SQLite). You can do so much with so little code! Inspect the source code here if you like :) https://github.com/lylo/pagecord

I'm trying to use Bluesky without getting burned again
It’s an interesting point but social media (especially X and Bluesky) is largely ephemeral content. If it goes away, what have you really lost? Hot takes?
Running your own blog on your own domain is a good idea and anything long-form would be on there not Bluesky, no? The vast majority of people will run their blog on a platform though, be that Wordpress or Bear or Ghost etc all of which (in theory!) could go away. Where does it end?
I’ve been thinking about this a lot with my blogging platform (https://pagecord.com). It’s hard not to lock people in with a platform, but most people WANT a platform because it’s easy to use. I’ve made Pagecord open source and I’m working on an export so the whole site can be exported to Jekyll-compliant Markdown, so in theory you could leave and be up and running in a self-hosted way (fairly) easily.
So maybe transportable content standards is the most important thing to solve?
