I built https://persumi.com to uplift my own blogs, and to turn text into audio (you can subscribe in your podcast app). Then, once I realised there's no good tools to promote it, I built https://rizz.farm so I

I don't think blog platforms "suck", but I do think there are QoL enhancements that can be made to them the experience better for both the writers and the readers. I built https://persumi.com for exactly this reas

Hi folks, I wrote a blog post the other day on how I built my MVP in 3 months whilst having a day job, using Elixir/Phoenix/LiveView. Hopefully it's somewhat useful or entertaining for some readers. :)

Hi nonameiguess, good questions! > Are these sign up links solely for writers? No not really, anyone could (and should) sign up because I do believe that everyone is unique and has their "personas" to show for, whether it'

Hey catapart, wow thank you so much for the detailed feedback! I've fixed the link bug. Re video, it's a great question/observation. I had considered it, but ultimately I decided that running/streaming videos will be pro

Hey thanks for the feedback. Many users like yourself have given me the feedback that the concepts were very poorly explained, so the next thing I do is to build a guide tour to onboard new users. Thanks for your input, I really appreciate

Hi jantissler, thanks so much for your feedback! It makes me very happy (and validated) that I'm not the only one who craves for such a platform. In terms of the confusing terminologies, I agree, and based yours and on a lot other peop

Hey OP here, I'm glad you like them! Did you notice the Easter egg on the pricing table? ;)

Hi OP here. Thank you so much for everyone who's taking the time to give feedback. You have all given me lots of things to think about, and to improve on, I can't thank you all enough! It's getting late here in Australia so I

Ah, the honest answer is that I hadn't really thought about it. Subconsciously I guess I don't like the way `title` looks, so I opt'ed for something that works a bit nicer. Given the product won't work without JavaScript

Ah, thanks for the tips, really appreciate it! I'll look into these.

Thanks for the feedback. I will think long and hard about this one. As I mentioned in another thread, I struggled with capturing the essence of the product with a screenshot or two, given it's user content based... Definitely taking th

Thank you! Yes absolutely. Even during the development of my MVP, both Twitter and Reddit were... well we all know what happened. I was just shaking my head. Even though Persumi is not meant to be a competitor to Twitter or Reddit, I can&#x

Hi OP here. Great question! When I first thought of building this, I was thinking about people's different personalities (one for family, one for friends, one for work, etc) and their different interests (I'm a programmer, I'

Good question! I will write a more detailed blog post in the next week or two. In short, it's hosted on Fly.io - with instances distributed across Australia, US and EU, with a clustered Postgres in those regions too.

Hi OP here! I'm sorry you feel this way. Given it's a content platform, I struggled to capture the essence with one or two screenshots. May I ask what made you think "this is some kind of scam"? I'm genuinely curiou

Whilst it doesn't support ActivityPub, I do want to eventually look into that. In fact, initially it was going to be part of the MVP, until I realised it was going to take me too long to make it work, so I opt'ed to de-prioritise

Hey sorry about that. Most posts on the discover page are from my old blog I imported, they do look a bit SEO'ed, but definitely not AI-generated.

Thanks! Supporting decentralised protocols is on the cards - initially I was going to implement ActivityPub first, but things got a bit complicated so I opt'ed not to build these for now. I do want to eventually add Nostr and ActivityP
