I came to Ghostty for the icon, but stayed because of the experience, the philosophy and your dedication and enthusiasm. Thanks!

Absolutely. Hoping 27 winds all of this back but maybe we’re waiting until 28, or 29… or maybe this is just how it is forever now.

I see these acquisitions as a reset. They spend a huge sum to acquire established, but struggling, products and strip the size of the company to the minimum required to keep it operating. This is very much the Musk model.

At this point they have stopped the cash bleeding and made profit margins healthy again. From there they can more easily rationalise how to take it forward over the next 5-10 years.

That might mean stripping unpopular product features, rebranding, going upmarket, whatever.

It’s a real shame for all the staff, of course, but from a business point of view it’s going to be interesting to see how it plays out.

Ok that’s good to know thanks. With Pagecord it’s already open source so you can always have the code, and you can export content in markdown or HTML any time. I always imagined that would be enough…?

Founder here. Interested to hear how people think about 'lifetime' SaaS deals. Probably some positive experiences alongside some negative ones?

I think posse party does but not via API (because $$$) - presume it uses other tricks to do this.

I built Feedgrab, a 100% free web-based RSS reader.

“RSS. Nothing more, nothing less”

I’m building Pagecord: “Blog without the slog”.

https://pagecord.com

To goal is to make you write more. Tonnes of features, including posting by email (my favourite way to blog).

I love blogging and I want more people to go back to writing on their own blog and reduce time on the socials. It seems to be striking a chord with people.

Free classic plan, bargain premium plan at only $29/year.

Source available (Rails) at https://github.com/lylo/pagecord

Are they going to redirect office.com to microsoft365copilotapp.com while they're at it?

I've yet to upgrade from Sequoia and having read this _excellent_ article, I'm going to hold off as long as Apple let me.

I really hope the recent changes at Apple mean this will get completely overhauled and they'll return to their roots as design leaders. It will be such a shame if this mess is allowed to continue

Honestly this is so true. I have a few blogs for various reasons, and the hosted ones are where I post most because it’s so effortless to do. There’s so much less inertia. You can go even further and post by email (I use Pagecord) which removes virtually all barriers to posting.

That said, building your own static site and faffing with all the tech is generally an enjoyable distraction for most techies

Can I shamelessly self-promote Pagecord? Free plan plus super-cheap premium plan with loads of features. Also source available so self-hostable (arguably cheaper to let me do it for you!). Export in full HTML or static-site friendly Markdown so you’re not trapped.

This is pertinent. I’ll get hundreds of page views a day on a blog post and if that’s syndicated to X it’ll get 55 views, never to be seen again despite having 1200 followers.

Focus on publishing your own work. Syndicate if it’s effortless, otherwise don’t worry about it.

Blogging lives! :)

Great to see this here. I’ve been using EchoFeed (https://echofeed.app) to syndicate articles from my blog to social media (it uses RSS as the feed source). I also recently learned about POSSEparty (https://posseparty.com) which has more options but is self hosted.

RSS most certainly isn’t dead either. I run pagecord.com (indie blogging app) and the majority of traffic is from a huge variety of feed readers.

Pagecord!

An independent blogging and personal website builder. Source available (Ruby on Rails).

It’s not a novel idea but it’s gaining decent traction because it’s simple and (I think!) makes you want to write more. Which is basically why I built it.

Blog by email, custom domains, internal private analytics, theming and more!

Free forever plan, or only $29/yr for everything. Priced as I think personal/blogging sites should be. Everything is too expensive these days.

The auto-capitalisation of Apple trademarked phrases like Liquid Glass and Apple Intelligence is what really drives me round the bend.
