I've finally realized why blogging is so important for me.

It's because I believe people should have a way to use creative expression to find their people

Taking Blogging Seriously

I've seen folks hacking the remarkable... Wonder if it's possible to have a document that shows annotations from two users. Maybe the doc syncs nightly or something, with different users showing up as different colors ?

Yeah, Emily did the initial write up a long time ago, there are a handful of "add this JS script from a CDN"

Here's a Github search that surfaced a couple github.com/search?q=blu...

I'll cherry pick @coryzue.com github.com/czue/bluesky... and @tom.party github.com/tomcreighton...

So commento has finally given up the ghost. Anyone built bluesky comments in a box yet?

Ideally something like this I can just drop into my site: graysky.app/blog/2024-02...

Is Google slurping up all the pirated content for llm training too or did they Gemini 2.5 "legit"?

Do we know or are we just assuming they're all doing the same sketchy things?

Quoteback PSA 🚨

Yesterday Chrome disabled Quotebacks for a lot of people. I need to rewrite the extension to be V3 compatible but in the meantime...

(embeds still work fine)

So long as your Quoteback extension is disabled, not removed you should be able to recover your saved items.

Instructions:
