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?

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 run a livestream on Thursdays at 9am Pacific where I pair program with another developer and build something live. Some examples are on my YouTube channel.

Is there a dev on your team who’d pair program with me for 90 minutes to build something fun? 😎 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PS2784YfPpw&t=4780s&list=PLz8Iz-Fnk_eTpvd49Sa77NiF8Uqq5Iykx&index=2

I dig it!

@auth0 @okta can you point me to your devrel teams? It would be fun to do a livestream for each of your services where we build out an app using @gatsbyjs and your auth solution. My DMs are open! cc @samjulien @aaronpk

That does sound fun! What do you need from us? We've got a few quickstarts that you could use as a base.

@jack interesting... I would happily move to a future PHP version of Fathom. Honestly, I find PHP applications to be the easiest to deploy.

Wow, they're cancelling all the SEA->PDX evening flights due to the snow, and I just happened to impulsively change to an earlier flight when I was going to bed last night, so it looks like I'm gonna escape this just in time. #travel

@aaronpk Hey, sorry, me again. I just can't figure this out and hope you can help. I'm trying to use OwnYourGram with my site (Jekyll + Github pages + Micropub endpoint). But the post gets pulled in like this, so it doesn't show the photo. Are you aware of anyone who got this to work? It needs to add a reference to the photo in the post itself.

I'm not familiar enough with Jekyll to know what's going on. You might try asking someone in the #indieweb-dev channel in chat! https://indieweb.org/discuss
