Show HN: A blog that deletes itself if you stop writing I built Lapse because most of my blogs died quietly, abandoned after a few months. lapse.blog is a minimal blogging platform with one rule: if you don't post for 30 days, your blog is permanently deleted. No warnings, no recovery. How it works: - No signup. Your unique passphrase grants access to your blog. Same passphrase = same blog. (If two people pick the same one, they'll control the same blog by design) - The longer you post consistently, the longer it lives. Borrowing from social-media streaks, but for writing. If they can encourage you to Snapchat someone, surely we can encourage ourselves to write. - Markdown only. No images, no embeds. - RSS and Atom feeds included. - Forget your passphrase? Blog gets deleted. Stop posting? Blog gets deleted. - No ads, no tracking. The idea is that impermanence, hopefully, removes the pressure to be perfect, and the deadline offers an incentive to keep writing. https://lapse.blog January 27, 2026 at 11:10PM
