Not a violation rn. From looking into it, it seems like most writers that do this want to reach a larger audience and are willing to sacrifice some earnings by posting their own friend link. There’s probably a better way for us to solve that though.

Yep! You make templates in a specific directory and then choose which template a post uses via that posts frontmatter (post is still .md), or set a default template for all posts.

Jekyll + GitHub pages is super easy. Or Hugo + Vercel. Both are fast and low-effort to build and publish!

Hey Jim, I took a look at this post. The top “Lifetime” section only gets updated every day. The graphs below that are updated hourly.
Not ideal.
We were working on getting these closer to real time, but got busy fighting some comment spam issues. I’d like to get back to this soon 🤞

😞 what’s the post this was on? We’re working on this problem rn, that user SHOULD be suspended already (or very soon) by our system. We’re bringing that suspension time down from hours ➡️ seconds in the nearish future (and ideally preventing this in the first place) but all input data is helpful

mreh. It seemed like a good idea when Medium pushed responses as posts. But GETting posts INCLUDING responses is the exception rather than the rule, most code adds a param to filter out responses.

Yes. AND the landscape has evolved since Responses were released. They're usually used as comments. Unsure if this evolugion is "good" or "bad" or just something to acknowledge and move forward with.
