I hope you didn't get an impression like this ("Go not being worth it to learn") from my post. We think it's great and that our Go is going to be much easier to maintain over the long term than our Python was. It's

I blogged about this[1] as we were starting the project. The short story is that moving from App Engine 1st Generation+Python 2 to App Engine 2nd Generation+Python 3 would have _also_ been a ton of work, but would have given us fewer benefi

In 2009, I joined Mozilla and started working on the Bespin[1] project, which Ben Galbraith & Dion Almaer had brought to Moz. Bespin was built with a canvas-based renderer. Bespin was way faster than other browser-based code editors at

I'd love to be able to use this sort of editor to produce a static site that I control. My websites are currently static and deployed via netlify, but it would be awesome to create some pages with a tool like this.

Looks nice on the surface. One request for the promo site part of things: One thing I _always_ look for in a SAAS is a "pricing" page, because prices are all over the map on these sorts of things and I want to know if I think the

FWIW, I put my books on Amazon with DRM turned off, but I get what you're saying. I'm honestly not certain about the state of DRM in the other ebook stores. As I understand it, you actually can back up your ebook library using Cal

How is this better than Kickstarter? Someone can put up a Kickstarter and say that "people who pledge at level X will have their name in the acknowledgements. Pledge at level Y and you'll get your name in a footnote in one of the

Those authors would still need to come to an agreement about how to split up the earnings, right? Once they've done that, services like Draft2Digital _right now_ will put their ebooks out into stores all over the world and split up the

I view NFTs as enabling "digital collectibles". NFTs for art is an extension of the fact that there have been art collectors for ages. There _are_ book collectors, but that's a tiny subset of publishing. For authors who regul

Many companies would just never touch an AGPL package, and while there are other languages out there with commercial licenses (e.g. Delphi), those are not nearly as mainstream as the open & freely available ones. Deno is competing again
