Part of what I’m pondering is what’a possible with doing everything locally using CRDT and WASM. It’s a little ambitious, but feels like it’s *just* possible to do something amazing there. (And then being eventually-consistent to a central service, probably.)

I’ve been pondering a bit what the simplest possible experience could be about getting these kinds of tools in front of people. I know there’s a sveltia+eleventy starter, but I want to make it sort of instant and effortless for a non-expert user to start creating with this stack. It feels doable.

Oh wow! It’s so nice to know folks still remember that work. The spirit of what we were trying to do really comes through in what you’ve made, and I really appreciate it. It’s been easy to lose hope about whether people still care about making simple, accessible, powerful tools, and you’ve done it!

What they think is media attention is just people calling their office and asking them to do things because their neighbors are getting kidnapped.

And yet somehow they are too stupid to put this all together and assume it must be some powerful entity with thumbs on the scale.

There should be a subscribe form in the top header.

Oh! I see the mistake there. I’ll try to fix that today.

Thanks!

He’s certainly not to my taste.

It’s wonderful work! Thank you for it. I made CMSes for many years, including one of the first popular static publishing tools about 25 years ago (the one that Markdown was invented for as a plugin), so I’m *very* picky about them, and you’ve been doing an incredible job.
