I love that the comments on some of the posts (like this one) are written by hand too!

I feel people who like this type of blogs and want to try something like a static website would love Styluslabs’ Write https://www.styluslabs.com/

Handwriting is better as SVG if you are writing digitally, and while everyone has their own vector ink based proprietary formats, I like the simplicity and openness of SVG’s!

Ironically, "No feeds. No algorithms. No likes." reads like copy that is, well, not handwritten.

Very cool. I created a similar project back in late 2002 (2003?) using Anoto digital pen and paper for publishing to a blog format. That version was using a bluetooth connection to some Nokia or Ericsson handset that had gprs for communication with Anoto servers to route handwriting traffic. I went only so far as having an internal demo, though. A lot have transpired with the Anoto platform since then, also.

How about a blog that contains its entire source code inline in the blog itself? [0]

Such that copy pasting its contents reconstructs the blog byte for byte

Reminds me of E. W. Dijkstra's digitized hand-written manuscripts:

Fantastic idea! I think the hardest part for people to adopt this will be overcoming atrophied handwriting skills and no autocorrect.

One thing that doesn't seem clear to me from reading without signing up is how do you actually upload content? Do you have to have paper and pen and then take a picture of it, or do you provide some kind of excalidraw-like canvas for writing? I notice there isn't any paper background or line rules, which I think would also be nice for those who fancy a bit of structure when reading/writing.

Reminds me of tinyprojects.dev Paper Website project from 2021

I've been thinking about getting a Remarkable... Really tough to choose between the Pro, the Pro Move, and the Pure.

I would quite like colour (for doodling), and the price point of the Move is slightly better, but I'm worried about the (small) size of it. Ideally I'd want something with colour support at an A5 paper size level. Wondering if anyone can speak to their experiences with any of them?

Interesting idea. I got myself an eInk tablet last week and was thinking about how I could incorporate handwritten notes/blog posts into my regular blog. As a separate section and maybe a separate RSS feed.

Because I actually liked the idea of enabling people to read my handwritten notes. I just would not want to put that onto an external service, being more of a selfhost person...

I love the idea from a personal note collection perspective, however as a blog I feel that it can be taxing to be able to read so many different handwriting styles

Nice idea! And I see that there's also automated transcript for SEO & accessibility. Is there some standardised way to upload the content, or any image goes?

This is really lovely! I saw a couple weeks back where someone made a custom app on their remarkable with an LLM responding to handwritten text

Makes me think that I should get my remarkable modded as well to post things I write to my website directly, incorporating some ideas from this. Thank you for sharing!

Hi Emile

I like the concept too. People are losing the ability to read handwritten letters and notes. I'm just curious, how does this all work? Can I simply take a photo of a page?

It is a great idea, congratulations! Not sure if we will remember how to write ;-)

Might be missing something but I expected a way to browse the blogs - maybe even a 'random blog' link!

Hi, I've been working on handwritten blogging too! It would be great to compare notes. I might also drop you a line on another platform.

Is this moderated in some way? It is the internet. Hard to see how this doesn't fill with doodles of penises and other similar things or worse.

Hmm, how come this is only a Show HN post now, but it seems it's already been live since at least 2022: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33055426 ?

Without any way to access the corresponding text, this is unfortunately an idea I hope never gets any significant adoption.

I wonder if there is a way to make the underlying text accessible. OCR could presumably attempt to get at which letters correspond to which glyphs. Can a drawing be annotated in SVG as representing some character, as in an illustrated manuscript? If so, maybe this can be saved.

this seems to be great for like a single page exhibition or something, but reading long form content from something like this, personally I feel this to be not so intuitive

i really like this. my issue is usually i read while selecting so my eyes follow which unfortunately the website won't support

cool idea, but doesn't this prevent translation for foreign audiences? or even screen reader integration

Very human, well done! Thank you!

love the idea! I had a similar thing on my todo list :) Glad u made it.

seems cool. but is bloging still alive?

Well I hoped it was some kind of SVG with alt text for copy.

Turns out it's just a webp.

This is beautiful!

Nice, left you my handwritten review of the odyssey: https://vasco.handwritten.blog/the-greek-movie

Who is this for though?

As a writer, a lot of times I am writing over 5,000 words in a single article. I can type at around 170 wpm but my wrist starts hurting the moment I write more than three pages in my journal. I also use a split ergonomic keyboard which helps my hands a lot. I also revise my writing heavily which is very hard to do with handwritten stuff.

For readers, it will maybe be a novelty but I don't really see why anyone will prefer reading content that is handwritten since it has a lot of accessibility problems which are solved with proper typesetting.

I could see the value if it was a collection of interesting notes or unique handwriting styles etc. But i don't think its usuable as a blogging platform imo
