> I need a blog somewhere to leave a comment? Correct. You must have a blog with an RSS feed to comment.

Thanks for checking this out. Believe it or not, this is good feedback for me to improve user-facing documentation and general UX.

I don't understand how you would comment so that your blog post still makes sense for people following only you and not the blog you're commenting on.

I'm thinking of a blog post on your personal site saying "That is no nice!" without any context. How does that work?

Hey thanks for checking this out.

I've considered this, Bhread detects replies when another site publishes a post containing this:

- A string: "replying to " - followed by a link to the the one they're replying to

I think this is enough to provide context but it's still early to tell if that's effective.

How does bhread know to ingest my blog? Can the RSS feed be submitted somewhere?

I think this is an interesting concept but you might want to include this info in your show hn post, including this info youve just shared about how bhread detects replies. Otherwise, I had no idea how any of this works even after looking through several pages on the site.

Glad you found the concept interesting. I admit it's my fault for not including enough information for anyone who's willing to spend their time for my project.

I'm out of the edit window now so I'll answer your question here.

There's a page for RSS feed submission: https://bhread.com/feeds/

And for more details about bhread, I have a blog post that may help (how to participate, and why): https://blog.bhread.com/posts/about-bhread/

In the future, I'll add a page that will get new users up to speed in a single place. Everything's scattered right now and pasting links is getting old for me.

Anyways, thank you for the feedback and suggestions, I'm taking notes.

Thanks! I appreciate your friendly reply. Best of luck

Same boat here. I clicked "Comment with a blog post!" Which took me to a marketing type page where the CTA seems to be to "take my money, JK lol". I skimmed that page looking for a way to comment, then clicked the CTA which brought me to another page containing the show hn page as a post.

Very confusing. I gave up trying to figure out how to comment, or sign up

Apologies for the bad experience.

I appreciate the feedback especially the detailed description of your interaction with the site. This is helpful for me so I can create a better experience for new users.

No apologies needed, it's free right?

Anyway, I would have expected to not see the marketing page when I clicked the "post" link. I already care about learning how to post / add this to my site, you don't need to sell me anything more right now. I would have liked to learn more about how posting would work since I already learned how to add the iframe and that was easy.
