Just pushed a little design refresh to https://stygiantech.dev

Reminder that recurring cost requires recurring income
It’s either subscriptions or ads

once again passing by to explain that the scheduling feature does require a paid backend server to work and you're basically paying for that specifically
if it was free, everyone would use it and i would go broke from the bill from that server (both from processing cost and storage cost for media)

FWIW, Bluesky is my biggest referrer even though I spend a lot more time on Mastodon (which is my second largest referrer)
Bluesky loves links — we don’t downrank or deprioritize posts with links in them, and as a result they get higher traffic, so lots of people post them.
oh my god there are so many links here
the iframes dont load fast enough lol
