David and Jason announced HEY World a few weeks ago. Once I connected the dots, I sent an email titled "Is This Thing On?" to world@hey.com. I received a helpful reply, that the thing was not on.
But now it's on! Continuing the pattern of the past several years, Basecamp's sensibilities for software strike a chord with mine. Removing the resistance, focusing on the words, hitting send...it's a scary prospect. But one I'm inclined to embrace for yelling into the void of the Internet.
I believe in the power of a personal website. https://www.danott.co is where I've been slowly (re)building one since the end of 2020. But as Jason said:

setting up a personal blog was just too much of a hassle. It felt formal, it required yet another tool, yet another place to write, yet another platform to pay for just one feature. I had to pick a template, I had to think up a name, I had to make the relationship official.
I've been not writing lately, because I've been setting up the environment for writing. I love the renaissance of static site generators. But it's still proved another form of resistance.
So here's some words. More to follow!
