There’s a great feature of having a live conference that people can attend! But it’s extremely difficult to do properly especially when people are ten hours away. I wonder if we, in the IndieWeb, can take this opportunity to distribute this. There’s probably prior art on this - I haven’t seen it yet.

The idea is to have people pre-record talks and information to be about 4 - 5 hours worth, total. Then we can have a live streaming server play this playlist on loop about 6 times so (ideally) everyone can see them as if they were watching it for the first time. After the loop is done for about 6 times, we could then make individual video pages, similar to how conferences publish videos after a talk.

What does the community think? I’m hoping this would reduce the pressure to agree/find on a time and distributes it out for people. We’d need people in at least 4 different zones to help make sure that the videos are looping correctly (but that shouldn’t be too hard). I think TwiT does a good job of this.

#100days 49 - Started a new project today. I am working on using Plaid to automatically pull transactions into my accounting software from multiple bank accounts. I would also hope to get it hooked into my chat bot for realtime(ish) updates so I can categorize transactions and add receipts as soon as they are available.

Is there an author-first decentralized ebook publishing service?

Amazon’s fees for ebook sales are *insane*.

Also, their employees have to pee in bottles to make impossible quotas.

@nayafia @mattschaar @stripepress also only sells via Amazon 😢

Stripe Press keep publishing amazing books about community that we cannot read without paying Amazon, destroyer of communities.

Would be great to pay you directly for the ebook.
