How I use Bear posts and pages
Bear, like any other blogging platform, offers the option to create posts and pages. With Bear, the only difference between a post and a page comes down to one single attribute: is_page: true
I think it's a great approach. With the majority of platforms out there, posts and pages are like two different worlds. And most of the time, with no benefits whatsoever.
For a reader visiting a Bear blog, the only difference is that a page, unlike a post, won't show a publish date. Which makes perfect sense.
Another thing that differs between these two is that a page won't show up in the RSS feed. Once again, it makes perfect sense.
No matter what kind of content you create, you always have the make_discoverable: false option. When included, the page or post won't show up in the discovery feed, and it lacks the toast button.
I always use that option if I create something like a contact page or a guestbook. It doesn't make much sense having an upvote button on pages like that. It doesn't add anything (other than a button).
If I create a page like the Bearming theme or Blog inspiration, on the other hand, I make it discoverable. Not hoping it will end up on Bear's trending page (it won't), but as a way to let people see it and, if they feel like it, show their appreciation.
Sometimes, when I think RSS subscribers might be interested, I create a post and later change it to a page. Content that doesn't necessarily need to be part of the blog archive in the long run (a month later or so). A new theme, for example, that still will be easily accessible even if it's not a blog post later on.
There you have it. That's my approach when it comes to Bear posts and pages. I have no idea if others find it weird or wrong, but I think it works fine.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
