I build and sell templates for a living. Like shadcnblocks.com or zerostatic.io. How long do you think I’ve got? It’s seriously an existential threat for me, but my sales don’t seem affected yet.

I love this. I'm a huge fan of static site generators and simple, authentic designs. It looks like lot of people who dig the indieweb philosophy use Jekyll and Hugo which is great, because they are still such amazing SSG's. Projec

I've always found Hugo easy to get running. Compared to Jekyll, Hugo was always much easier as Jekyll always seemed to throw up some Ruby or Bundler issue every time you went back to it. I've built a lot of Hugo sites and template

Oh those UX designers, aren't they just gods. So gifted, with their ability to shape the minds of the pesants and turn every product into gold. Games have been great for decades. There have been huge hits and misses. Games have been ad

The thing is not all products and apps are marketable organically. But I to agree with the spirit of what their saying. My recommendation would be to modify your product in such a way that it has an organic marketing angle, I think that can

Snowcrash is probably the best example of a near future anarcho-capitalist society. Particulary showing it in a light which is far from utopian, perhaps more of a realistic devolution.
