In my experience in software development, it's good to start small with something useful, learn how it works before adding big new features. That's the basic principle of bootstrapping. I thought that Mastodon, for example, took on too big a job. Same thing for the protocol ...

BTW, I told Claude yesterday that we will support images in posts. I wanted it earlier when chaos still ruled (believe me it was very hard to use at this time) and it talked me out of it, saying it was too expensive. 

I don't think it will be too expensive. And if it does, then we'll find a way to get money flowing through this project without holding things up. 

Andrew, I just wrote a post on my blog about Mastodon, and how it assumed Twitter's feature list as their todo list, and why imho that was a mistake. 

We're just getting started here, and I want to go easy on nailing things down. I wouldn't limit rss.chat to only working with AT Proto (for example) as lots of developers do. Instead I'm not working with it, and hope to pull Bluesky out of their non-web architecture out into the wild web, that may not have made Bluesky possible (they grew out of Twitter) but it certainly made Twitter possible. ;-)

So that's why this might not be a solvable problem at this time. But starting the discussion with the WordPress people, well, it's always a good time to do that. :-)

In fact, more than three times as many abortion-related ads ran from January to mid-July 2024 — with candidates and organizations spending […]

There’s a natural mystic

Recorded a short demo of the new book calendar interface in Micro.blog. I put the video on YouTube.

Still partly an experiment, especially the backgrounds, which I’ve already dialed back since the video. Also added a background images preference. Totally optional feature. Use if you like it!
