Game creators struggle to sustain blogs and promote articles

Game designers and gaming writers face friction maintaining a portfolio or blog and promoting articles: one dislikes Wix, another found journal-style posts too tedious to sustain, and a third wants more scheduling capacity than a free plan provides. These signals support a focused publishing workflow, though the request for non-AI voice dictation is adjacent rather than clearly part of the same need.

For game designers and gaming bloggers. Mentioned from Nov 2023 to Jul 2026 on Bluesky.

  1. Set up a portfolio/blog last year and I kinda hate it (foolishly tried out Wix). Looking to jump ship once the subscription is up

  2. Using it as a journal turned out to be unsustainably tedious after the novelty of it had worn off
