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.
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.
@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 starting to use more hybrid app development tools, namely NativeScript. They’re the closest we get to PWAs being on mobile devices since Apple’s really against making them a thing in their garden. Google’s reasoning is to probably get one code base to monitor everything. For developers, it’s definitely a lot easier to just write one code base for mobile environments.
Depending on how this flies, I might consider working on a Micropub application (tailored for Koype, of course). Should be fun!
Have a fun conference. Looking forward to HWC tomorrow and your OAuth workshop Thursday! Got plans for this evening?
@aaronpk that's very cool, actually. And to be clear, I am a fan and count myself as a friend of @adactio, so my intention here was not to attack, but to prod.
@aaronpk I do - but then why not federate here as well?
@aaronpk oh damn I didnt see you were in town. I live here too bad. what were you here for?
I'm thinking about getting the Hue smart bulbs for my bedroom because it seems like it would help to be able to dim and brighten the lights around bed time and waking. Anyone using them or other smart bulbs? Thoughts?
