This is what sets the raspberry pi apart from all other SBCs in my experience: software support. Kudos, this is fantastic stuff! Will love to see the ecosystem of stuff that springs up that takes advantage of this.

If you disable the interrupts, does that mean any incoming events get ignored, or simply queued for later? If the former, that sounds like you risk missing something important.

I've been pondering similar issues re Rust a lot lately too. Mainly that it's very safe and fast, but that is offset by how difficult it is to use. I recently had an idea: What if i made a subset of Swift and a transpiler that out

Original iPhone managed 60fps with an even slower processor (412MHz - https://everymac.com/systems/apple/iphone/specs/apple-iphone... ). I know it only had 320x480 resolution, but if you consider that the

The open-source RISC-V core 'SonicBoom' aka 'Boom v3' has a claimed IPC that beats the ARM generation in the raspi4. It's only on FPGAs currently though. All it needs is someone to make them as real chips! It's

I posted the thoughts after another similar blogging service died, and I still think it's relevant: This is one of the main reasons I tried garnering interest around a blogging app idea I had: If you write with a third party service su

Good luck with pluma! I agree CMS in the cloud has strengths such as backups etc. Just in my experience that cloud projects seem to have a half-life of around 5 years :) I was thinking the same as you: Having an export to some format (i was

You're spot on right, especially with the pace of change in macOS. I was thinking that i could angle this as a good reason to charge for the product: "If you want this app to stick around for the long term, paying will ensure that

Oh that's not really the problem I'm trying to solve here. Mainly my concern is 'i want to have a blog that spans my entire career' which has been personally difficult due to posterous dying, wordpress upgrades and hacks

My skillset is native iOS apps so it'd be going against my strengths to make a PWA. Plus i'm skeptical of their usability. Having said all that: I mulled it over overnight, and i could use an extra private S3 bucket as the 'b

Thanks, yes you describe my concept quite well. Admittedly i'm not very familiar with OLW so made some assumptions. So perhaps it could be said that if i developed my idea, there's more 'value' in it than OLW in that sen

Ok first up, i think your blog title is hilarious "Yet Another Dev Blog That I Will Abandon After a While" :) And very excited to see some love for Paint Shop Pro! Ah memories. As for Publii, yes it really does appear to be everyt

No i haven't - having just had a brief look at it, it seems to be exactly what i was proposing (except it's not a native app, which is probably neither here nor there for most users).

Lack of uniqueness can be a good thing: It proves there's a market out there for your idea. Thanks for the kind words :)

Exactly: All your eggs are still in posthaven's basket (and i'm sure they have all the best intentions in the world!).

Thanks a lot! Yes, Open Live Writer sounds very similar to what I'd be making. To be honest I hadn't heard of it.

Yes, my app would be a lot like Zettlr but tailored specifically to blogging, with the publishing built-in; it appears to me that Zettlr is more a generic .md editor. FWIW: my app isn't Electron, it'd be native macOS, that's

Thanks for the pointer! Yes, that's the concept that i'm aiming for, except that the user would bring their own hosting for even more chance of longevity (i assume posthaven has a bus-factor of 1 or maybe 2).

I was thinking about that issue too! My idea was that my app would have an 'export to Hugo' option so at any time you've got that as an 'escape hatch' or upgrade path, so no risk.

The idea is that there's no trust required: My app handholds people through the process of setting up on AWS/Azure, then it uploads to their account via their API key. So if i close up shop, they wouldn't even notice (althoug

Thanks for reading my idea! Yes i think you understand the concept pretty well. I'd like to be 'out of the loop' as much as possible: Write what you like! As for domain management, I think my app could help with that but I su

So apple's reasoning is that this exemption only applies to 'business' or 'reader' apps. Would Basecamp/Hey's solution be to remarket Hey as a business offering? I imagine most people who pay for a premium

Hi I think Medium isn’t ideal because you’re one acquihire away from losing your writing, as what happened to me when posterous went away years ago. My plan is to simplify all the management you mention as much as possible. As for price,

Hi, it would offer ease of use primarily. It would be like an easy interface to something like Jekyll or Hugo. Thanks for responding :)
