"404: regrets not found"
Is "takes one to know one" too childish for this?

It would be good to see some kind of terms of conditions/privacy notice and a more in-depth explanation on the home page

Not a fan of this. There's a lot of fancy UI elements but the UX is actually pretty horrible. It's so hard to cut through the faff to get to the actual content.

Most of the real estate is given to something that doesn't actually matter, the stock images. Images are nice but the article titles are the real content and need to take pride of place.

I agree that Notion has a different direction, it just occurs to me that you could do that in something like Notion, which also has other features
"Planning for your learning will be relentless as your knowledge (not information) will be manageable"

I think a proof reader might be valuable for your site, I've no idea what the above sentence, and several like it, really says.

Out of interest, what's the USP over something like Notion?
I also hadn't seen that you can create sport types - I'll definitely look into that!
Hi there, I take it you own/work for runalyze? I'm not saying it's only for running, just that it's aimed primarily at running. I can take some time to give some more detailed feedback if you're interested? Overall I do think Runalyze is really interesting and offers some great analysis

Ask HN: Third party software to combine fitness tracking data

Does anyone have any recommendations for third party software where I could combine data from things like Garmin Connect and MyFitnessPal? I'm looking for something that will give me better/more configurable ways to view data and maybe even something that offers some data analysis.An example that isn't quite what I'm looking for is Runalyze. Runalyze lets you import Garmin or Polar (etc) data...

Shouldn't there be some kind of summary before it demands you set up an account?

I can recommend wimwiki if you spend any time in the terminal. It has a built in diary alongside the wiki functionality

I used to go to NorDevCon when I lived in East Anglia. Now I've moved to North Wales I'm on the hunt for some good developers conferences in North Wales or the Manchester/Liverpool area. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks for the advice about blogger vs WordPress, I was considering blogger for a while but guess I'll pass over that one
Re:Ask HN: Where do you put your blogs? on Tuesday January 14, 2020 @01:00PM (#22047366)
Haha I was waiting for that plea!

Yeah I do have a domain I could use for a WordPress site potentially

Ask HN: Where do you put your blogs?

I'm thinking of doing some blogging on a pretty casual basis and it's got me wondering where people post their blogs.For me, I don't think I'd be blogging frequently enough or with enough of a common theme to warrant setting up my own site. Instead, something like Medium springs to mind as an option - although I'm aware they've had some bad press recently.So bloggers of HN, where do you put...

Re:Ask HN: How do you improve your creativity? on Friday August 02, 2019 @06:18AM (#20591847)
Make lists!

Time Clare has a good podcast designed for getting into creative writing that helps with this http://www.timclarepoet.co.uk/couchto80kwritingbootcamp/

It would probably be a helpful excursion for anyone looking to boost their creativity because the real way to improve creativity is to just do things that are creative, even if it's something as small as writing down all the names you can think of.

Other than that, just make sure to write down any and all ideas that come to you - DO NOT SELF CENSURE, this is the bane of creativity. You're initial ideas will be crap and that's fine. Have them, be proud of them. Eventually you will have better ones that you can build on.
