Using something like Typefully or even Postiz lets you post without linking to any site. If you publish a blogpost, you can have one of these tools create an C article with the same content.

And you can take advantage of their network effects by implementing a POSSE system. Publish on your own site, syndicate elsewhere. That way, your website is the source of truth and the other places are like museums you curate to. Why should

Yes this is different than when law enforcement serve a warrant and the defendant wipes his computer before the agents can get a hold of it. In that case the warrant covers what you destroyed as evidence. Though during traffic stops, if a d

I call this the cycle of disruption. A company makes a really good product as first challenging incumbents. They get so big, they eventually become the incumbent. All this time, they’re probably losing money on the product or breaking even.

You’re right, that is a strong possibility. The skeptic in me thinks he did it because he thought it would affect his sales if word got out. He was ardent in his beliefs and I don’t think people drop those beliefs that easily unless there i

It seems he had some really “interesting” blog posts on his website. The crazy part is that he took down his blog, but also removed it from The Internet Archive[0]. He’s gone to great lengths to remove his blog posts and that makes me wonde

That’s where being open-source is the hedge. I’m paying for your service and you still fuck me over, I have the option to self host. You start open-source and then start making the product worse? I’m forking and maintaining the old version.

What’s even more concerning is that the current government changed their requirements for the rural broadband program so companies like StarLink can bid to bring internet to those remote areas instead of using wired or fiber connections. No

Exactly why every user of a product should be an strong supporter of the competitor. It's what keeps your product honest and competition is good for the consumer.

I disagree, business SaaS also gets enshittified mainly because of feature creep like you mentioned. Business SaaS starts by solving problems for 1 type of business, but as they try to cover more use cases, the product gets worse for the or

Very true, but if the company has raised VC funds, step 3 is inevitable. Even if the original founder resists making the product worse, the future execs won't blink an eye. Open-source on the other hand, isn't profit-driven as muc

All these arguments ignore that the bread you buy today is not always the bread you’ll get years from now. Don’t we all know the cycle by now? 1. Company pours money and resources to create good product 2. Good product gets customers and th

TypeWhisper looks really nice man, great work. I’ll add it to my directory and sorry HN marked it dead. I also post open-source projects and HN marks it dead as well. Feel like the system is broken or people just flag anything they don’t li

I replaced Raycast recently with Sol[0], but SuperCmd[1] is also really good. And I’m testing Helium Browser[2]. It’s based on Chromium, but has changed a lot under the hood and I’ve been daily driving it. Also replacing CapCut with OpenCut

Those firms investing time and money may make a good product at first, but it will slowly get worse as they try to recoup their costs and make a profit. The person making the open-source alternative may do the same, but I can fork it and go

Looks really nice, thank you for open-sourcing. I keep a directory of opensource alternatives. Would you say this is a Discord or Slack alternative?
