I agree, very aware it's way more than just the publishing / email tools! Also posted a top-level comment about building alternatives with https://leaflet.pub and https://standard.site - and yes I think rea

I'm one of the creators of Leaflet - https://leaflet.pub - also mentioned in another comment. We're making a publishing app kind of like Substack or Ghost, but connected to the open social ecosystem building on AT Prot

They had the licensing requirement until very recently but dropped it since they're now working on Zero (which looks awesome, but we're happy with Replicache for now). I think the docs may not be updated everywhere but see the &qu

I wasn't the one doing the back and forth on this directly but I think it was at least a few weeks, lots of threads with support etc. Partly on us for something like business address records not matching in different places…we get it b

(Leaflet cofounder here) - thank you, really nice to hear! It's taken us a long time and several prior products/prototypes to arrive at this, including previous attempts where we had similar aims — make nice expressive spaces for

(Leaflet cofounder here) - thanks so much for the detailed feedback here, this is great context and appreciate the specifics on CSS intricacies / naming history I was not aware of! We'll take a look at improving our scrollbar hand

(Leaflet cofounder here) - sorry about that! Are you seeing that with 'canvas' pages, or multiple doc pages open side by side? What device / screen size? I haven't seen issues with horizontal scroll recently but lots of

(Leaflet cofounder here) - agree, code blocks is definitely on our list! Both inline and full code blocks e.g. with CodeMirror. Ideally with syntax highlighting, just need to figure out how to play nicely with our custom themes…though proba

(Leaflet cofounder here) - this is a really good point! We actually had an explicit 'delete' button earlier but removed it temporarily b/c it was causing some confusion I think with people accidentally deleting collaborative

(Leaflet cofounder here) - thanks for sharing that, actually just finished drafting this week! It was fun to make all the different pages with different examples / themes…and also I think a nice demo of our custom domains feature :) Bt

(Leaflet cofounder here) - thanks, and good idea! Yeah right now canvases are quite minimal, lots we can improve both with basics like selection/drag, and more types of canvas-specific blocks. We'd love to get some kind of freefor

(Leaflet cofounder here) - much appreciated; we spent a lot of time iterating building different versions of apps before Leaflet that were more explicitly around shared social spaces and communities for learning and collaborative projects,

(Leaflet cofounder here) - thanks! It's been a lot of fun trying to strike the right balance between "just docs" and things like canvas, outliner, and more interactive social blocks, as well as minimalism vs. customizability

Good post, a lot rings true in my experience! Twitter is a uniquely good place to meet people, though it requires a lot of work and calibration to use successfully, and it takes practice to be yourself in a public broadcast medium. But I fe

Certainly, the majority of books are not worth your time; the same is of course true of YouTube videos, podcasts, blog posts, or any media you may consume. But the best books do offer things you can't get elsewhere. Crucially, readin

Very interested to see all these Meetup competitors developing! Seems there are kind of two main buckets here: simple tools focused on organize events, and platforms that are more a two-sided market where event discovery / matching int

This article seems to gloss over possible physical causes for CFS/ME, sort of implying that nobody has any idea what physical basis there might be for it. But that's…not entirely true? For example, there's at least some evide

My current favorite solution for comments is Discourse — they actually have a great plugin for WordPress that replaces the default WP comments. Maybe overkill for some, but really nice when building a real community (ongoing discussion rath

Love this. I've also been a big fan of the "antilibrary" concept since coming across it in Black Swan a few years ago. I've actually been working on a site to highlight all sorts of amazing eclectic books in my own antil

One obvious answer here: makes far more sense to increase population of NYC outside of Manhattan. Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx combined (excluding Staten Island since it's not accessible by subway) are TEN TIMES the size of Manhatta

Aiming for ~ a book a week, and have been holding steady around that mark for around the past 3 years (avg. 50 books / year). I got through Ready Player One in a weekend when I had nothing else to do, but it took me a good couple month

I use nvAlt on Mac + Simplenote on iOS. Easy to sync between the two using plaintext files in a Dropbox folder. About as lightweight and easy to search for simple notes (whie still working on both desktop and mobile) as I've found. Cav
