I suspect there might be a few tweaks on the way from remarkably put-together MVP to major traction, but I love the vibe.
When you slim down the grammar of the input just enough but not too much (which the Markdown community and GitHub have already done), syndication and presentation and maybe even monetization as concerns gain tons of degrees of freedom.
As someone who routinely tries to squeeze long-form content into something social-media sized, who prefers hacker authoring tools, and is mostly at home in a revision-controlled text workflow? I’d probably have a blog if there was something lower-effort than Jekyll but with more cachet than Substack. And if this exists (which it might) it hasn’t been marketed to me.
RSS is okay enough as a syndication format, but it’s been a long time since it was front-and-center for readers. There is a bunch of interesting stuff going on around Mastodon and Bluesky and stuff, maybe there’s a clever (ab)use of some modern distribution protocol.
