   Running a bookshop is entirely possible without FU money, but it will be hard work and probably not make you much money. Read Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop for inspiration :) https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/c9

   Rails is wonderful and I’m thankful for what the community (and DHH) has done over the years. My company (founded 2007) was built on Rails and that B2B app now has 200,000 customers… all on a Rails monolith, the same code base that has evol

   It’s an interesting point but social media (especially X and Bluesky) is largely ephemeral content. If it goes away, what have you really lost? Hot takes? Running your own blog on your own domain is a good idea and anything long-form would

   I've been using EmailOctopus to add an email list to my blog. It's pretty good! That said there's no monetization option so perhaps it's not a Substack alternative after all. I'll get my coat :)

    Yep. Bought an M1 Max in 2021 and it still feels fast, battery lasts forever. I’m sure the M4 would be even quicker (Lightroom, for example) but there’s little reason to consider an upgrade any time soon.

    Trix is simple and easy to use for basic writing like a blog. It’s what Basecamp and HEY both use (it was built by 37signals and is the default in Rails) https://trix-editor.org/

    Thanks. Alas Twitter/X API is no longer a viable option because of the ridiculous price. No idea about Substack, but probably a different use case. I do think it would make sense to allow Pagecord users to follow other Pagecord users a

    Yeah I love Posthaven and it's a much richer product. It does still cost cash money though, which is a blocker for lots of people. Pagecord is like a super-simple/basic version of that, but free. Its simplicity means it doesn&#x27

    Interesting, thanks for giving it a spin. Should be pretty straightforward if you have the data in email already!

    I feel similar about the UX and the poor AI playlists, but with a little effort you can find the gems and build a library Regarding artists being shafted, when I find an album (yes I listen to albums) I love, I’ll buy it on Bandcamp or (for
