  And from a consumption perspective, every RSS feed reader I’ve used on iOS/macOS/web is still a far cry from what you get at Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. Once we make consumption easy, the creators will move. And RSS could continue powering the open web.
  

  Totally agreee! We've been working on stuff like this in the #indieweb community for a while! It's getting there, still a long ways to go, but here's my current reading experience using Open Web technologies: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/04/20/46/indieweb-reader-my-new-home-on-the-internet

  I'm getting sick of reading things on Medium. I need to understand what the perceived benefits are so I can understand how we could make alternatives like write.as more popular.
  

  tbh I don't know why people use it anymore. It used to be a novel writing "experience" with a nice clean editor and clean presentation as well. I think there's still something something distribution that people feel is a benefit?

  There is maybe almost no reason for a “federated social network”. Ideally, you get a domain, run some sort of OpenID on it, with microformats, and we find new ways to consume it. The “open web” found it hard to succeed because onboarding sucked compared to the walled garden

  English is difficult. It can be understood though through tough thorough thought.

  It’s the distribution and ability to monetize their content. I made like $10 off my post about my dad on Medium. And it was easy. The experience isn’t too novel anymore either.
  

  Didn't they drop the monetization thing a while ago? That's amazing that you made $10 tho, that's a lot in internet money.

  Ahh this is something I’m personally wanting to. I was going to try to make it something like Eventbrite so people can build events and send RSVPs to it as well as comments and the likes. Also this video intro is excellent, gotta make it the norm on a Mr. Rogers kinda approach, lol.
  

  Yeah totally! Built in RSVPs is definitely on the feature list, but there's so much to it before that's even relevant.
  
  I'm glad you like the intro 😄 I'm in enough hotels these days to always be filming a new one too!

  "The trick you want to accomplish is that when one person is using your software, it suddenly provides value to that person and their entire circle of friends, without the friends having had to do anything at all. Then, later, you pull the friends into the fold: if one of them starts using the software, they become their own hub, and get the benefit they have already witnessed from a distance."

  Looking @ alt to Gcal & found:

  Not sure what #opensource tools are real options, but:
  https://alternativeto.net/software/google-calendar/?license=opensource
  
  ...seems pretty limited.
  
  Anyone know good team calendar tools/ protocols?
  ping @RossSchulman @daniellecrobins @t @aaronpk @konobi #indieweb
  

  The only thing I know of like that is https://nextcloud.com but I haven't actually used it myself recently.
  
  I keep getting tempted to move off of Google, but I have too many other projects to focus on that make a bigger difference to my online life.
