Ask HN: What goes into a great startup blog? What do you like to read?

8 points by mi3law ↗ HN
Recently we started a blog for our company, to share our experiences as we go through Techstars NYC.

It got me wondering-- what is worth writing about in a startup blog, considering every startup seems to have one? What would you like to read? What is missing from other startup blogs?

Would love to hear any thoughts.

(Specifcally for us, our audience is node.js developers who would be interested in a dev platform and next gen PaaS. Here is our first post: https://bitly.com/lsq-b1)

I think a startup blog should communicate a personality, the thoughts, value and experience of the particular startup. Obviously for the content side, you're going to write about your product. But while your product evolves, can I read the growth? For instance, would be great to write about new features as solving more problems for developers or making their lives a bit easier. Good luck. Hope the blog becomes a venue where audience witness your growth. :)

Thanks for the response! I really appreciate it.

Very interesting thoughts. Makes perfect sense-- if a startup's blog doesn't show the startup's growth, it would be like a baby who doesn't age-- boring.

Thank you!
