Your assumption is that hosting is way more difficult than posting. What if it weren't? I research in that direction: http://mro.name/ShaarliGo#install--update

that's why I came to rely only on things a) I pay for. An amount of /money/, both service and I can sustain with, or b) I host myself.

while I feel your pain, in this particular case – a service connecting twitter and instagram, right?, you already gave in to facebook. How much worse could you be sold anyway, than what you did already? So there's 2 global scale monopo

That's great! Tools are just means to an end and overrated compared to the actual end. Changing quarterly to the "most efficient" tool is a lot of work over time. Sticking to one seems to get things done. And static websites

I also chose hugo a year ago with pretty much the same motivation, but meanwhile I may even go with plain html plus some scripts creating tag and overview list pages and no other tool at all. I'm just sick of breaking updates. Search a

uh, I think "abstracting away concepts" is the base for enduring cluelessness and thus dependencance. Still the UX has to be excellent. As you wouldn't abstract the fact of a sharp edge off a knife. Still the grip has to be v

and Atom actually is well defined ( https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4287 etc.), while RSS is just a mess. There's many of them and no RFC or similar.

It's mere existence requires to push to it. Having superior UX usually is expected for an app compared to a website on any given device. Building an app and still tolerating web usage (on the same device) requires a level of self-confi

Who would really rely on a single, external, free, no-guarantees service and not have redundancy to tolerate some hours of downtime? Make github a mirror (at least source-wise) and you can benefit from it's outreach without being held
