The need for owning your blogging platform

In reply to @codemysoul post on this IH post

I personally don't blog that often (or if at all) The thinking of having to conform to "conventional" practices and adhere to certain style creates a bit of anxiety in me. What if what I'm writing is seems boring? What if my grammar is terrible? What if the content is all over the place?

Fortunately I came across this blog manuelmoreale.com which is a great source of inspiration for a different type social media content. Way simpler, no SEO goals, personal.

So, as a way of applying what I've learned reading IndieHackers conent, about creating and MVP and keep it minimum, I created a clone of manuelmorale.com blog, but this one could be edited in situ. Unfortunately I also wanted to experiment with "extreme" serverless-ness and the editor only runs locally and publishes the generated static site, so no online demo, only the final output: https://oscarryz.com/

So that's my MVP for the goal to create something for myself.
