> I wasn’t interested in implementing the "social" features of a fully-fledged indie reader. I didn’t mind opening another tab to comment, nor having my "content" scattered across third-party sites. I did the same thing with my feed reader (where I'm subscribed), which sits nicely combined with my timeline (where I publish) in the same website system that I built. Although the option to immediately reply to posts in my reader (by means of webmention) is very attractive, for now I don't mind clicking and visiting external websites and maybe leaving a comment over there. For the rest, this article really hits home for me. I'm also dogfooding and trying to make it work for myself first, although my pub/sub functionality is part of a larger website/homepage system. I'm really happy that more people are building this kind of stuff to be able to ignore algorithmic timelines, ads and other enshittification. edit: Some kind of automatic reader is next on the list. I want to have that filter on keywords I entered upfront. In the background, this automatic reader should collect interesting articles/posts and create a sort of Newspaper or Magazine, which periodically presents itself to me as a sort of surprise.
