Really🔗 , really really great @manton - thank you.

Every once in awhile, I see a beautiful, minimalist blog with impeccable typography, like this one from Manuel Moreale, and think I should do something similar with Newsonaut.

But then I think Newsonaut is already minimalist. Take away the sun and stars and it’s especially minimalist. Try it for yourself with this button.

Minimalize!

That will never work for me. If I’m going to turn my inner space into outer space, I need it to be in something that looks like outer space.

Gruber is right. The only way for the others to compete with Twitter is to start innovating. Get rid of the limits. The funny thing is Twitter, the dominant leader, is moving forward and getting rid of character limits, and introducing styles and links. They're acting like the little guy while the others, Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads, aren't doing anything to be more useful. That whole market is stuck in 2006 and the myth that 140 chars somehow was magic. It wasn't. It killed the web as a writer's platform. If you want to compete with Twitter, drop your proprietary protocols, hook up to the web standards, and peer with your competitors. I wouldn't be surprised if Twitter joined you. They have the same kind of competitive spirit that big companies have. It's time for their competitors to not win users through guilt, rather by providing a better service.

Measles: coming to a town near you. I used to work near Powell, but luckily I’m about 50 miles east of there now. That’s not to say measles outbreaks are any less likely in my deep red neck of the woods. A little unnerving how headlines like this keep creeping closer and closer.
