Exactly... there are some people creating only twitter threads, but a thread can be buried pretty quickly whereas an article stays there forever!
Thank you Chris Bongers for writing this!
Yep!
This was also written from that frustration. I've read some really amazing threads and whenever I need them, I can't even find them anymore.
Glad you agree Ray!
And thanks for dropping by 👋
Most of you know me for my consistency, a golden arrow in my blog series. I've written 1000 articles in 1008 days! Almost an article a day, and my honeymoon was the only holiday I ever took. I'm super proud of this achievement; it has been a fantasti...

It's not the first time I'll be talking about community. I think it's an essential aspect of any successful tool. This shows in my previous explorations of Astro, Medusa, and now Vendure as well. All these products thrive in a super open, welcoming, ...

The cool part about Vendure is how easy it is to set up and how abstract each layer is. Basically, we get the following elements: External database Server Worker Admin UI Frontend While this is amazing, it also brings a bit of complexity when it co...

The previous article looked at customizing Vendure on a data and process level. In this article, we'll look at customizing emails, as they are often a big part of a webshop system. We'll be looking at two different layers of customization for customi...

Even though Vendure is a pretty significant project out of the box, in some cases, we might want to go in and modify some elements to work to our specific use case. In this article, I'll take a high-level look at some elements we can customize within...

Hey everyone! Tech Twitter is a goldmine of information, spaces, and super valuable threads about fantastic topics!
However, they get lost. And they get lost quickly.
The one minute you see a cool thread, the other minute you'/re like, ok, where did I see this fantastic piece of content again.
And it's a shame. Some people choose only ever to publish these nuggets on Twitter.
But it's not sustainable. It only shows up to a select audience the algorithm chooses, and then it kind of dies out.
On the other hand, blog posts can be used as evergreen material, meaning they live on your website forever.
And people can find them forever.
Heck, some of my most popular articles are still seen by hundreds of people every single day.
Another thing blog posts can have as an advantage is that they provide way more data. You can elaborate more on specific aspects of what you are explaining than you can in the short tweet threads.
No, please don't!
Instead, try this:
Publish on a blog, and if you don't have one create a free one on Hashnode. Now turn those articles into short Twitter threads for optimal engagement.
That, to me, is an optional flow, your content will live on your blog forever, and you still get the fantastic nuggets on Twitter that showcase what you learned shortly and concisely.
What are some of your favorite threads? Let me know on Twitter.
