In 2020 I wrote a book on FFmpeg after going through the entire FFmpeg documentation. I wanted to learn FFmpeg inside and out by actually using it to convert audio/video based on what the documentation offered. In the end I open source

You have a great humorist writing style. I enjoyed the read and it just makes me want one even more. I just went to an Apple Store to demo the Vision Pro and walked out feeling like I had a religious experience. I was overcame with emotion

I wondered why myself, but look at the ads in an old phone book. The ad art can invoke a lot of imagery in itself. https://hpr.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/L_VNBK-YellowPage...

If you have an interest in English and the evolution of the language you must check out the YouTuber Simon Roper. There's no finer student of the subject than him and I appreciate that he starts every video with "I am not [a] form

Back in the day a lot of video games had lore that was either made up or told telephone style. There wasn't exactly wikis on a lot of information to tell truth from fact. So printing out the discussion allowed you to learn how to accom

You have to remember that there was a time when phone lines and internet connections shared resources. Also, the internet wasn't nearly as fast as it is now, even a decade ago, so printing meant you had that copy locally without needin

Goodreads discoverability seems pretty good to me. I'm constantly finding new books through their recommended algo, front page, curated lists and search. What else could they do to improve that? For example, if I wanted find more beatn

If the doubling the word count seems daunting, you can try rewriting your 20k words into a short story and still get something out of it. If you're anything like me you'll probably never return to finishing the novel and it'l

At the moment we're trying to get authors on the platform to build up the "marketplace" (although we're not a traditional marketplace of selling books). The great thing about authors is they should be reading just as muc

I love the concept of Notebook.ai, thanks for sharing that. When I was writing my first fantasy novel I was messing around with Notion templates (almost a local wiki in a sense) just to organize weapons, factions/governments, religions

Good question. We're not a marketplace just like NaNoWriMo isn't a marketplace. As an author you build an author profile (like any other social media) and link directly to where people buy books (Except we have catered icons for A

Right now I'm in the middle of the chicken and the egg problem where we don't have enough authors cataloging their publications and b/c of that obviously readers are not interested in using the site. I've gone back and f

I love NaNoWriMo and have written and won every year since 2019. My only issue is once the month is complete, no one cares about your novel or that you finished it. So when I got laid off earlier in the year I started working on an alternat

https://penpinery.com At its core it's NaNoWriMo but I was frustrated with the limited use of NaNo after completing a novel. So this adds the social aspect found in GoodReads + the profile akin to Bandcamp. At the moment it
