people subscribe to You. Not your activity on twitter, or your reel on ig, or your posts on substack

A lot of pieces from Kinopio can be reused in this new system to save a lot of time

It’s not a blog , it’s not social media

Sign up for a substack and get a bunch of other random engagement emails (?)

A bunch of doomscrolling bc you wanted to see what your friends were up to. The history of social media

“Follow my new stuff on earth”

where you can find me

Can view past updates (shown by default )

how you can follow me

No there are no sources , it’s not automated. , it’s sign up -> add a manual entry for each new thing with a name and url field

Brought to you by piri, Kinopio creator. Spatial note taking and research app

Simple to explain. Does one thing. Solves a main problem

Explicit invite , need to get the word out , via blogs , YouTube?

?? Subscriber can heart , sent back to users as a weekly digest ? Or just on the site as n ppl sent hearts

Costs for emails? $ restrictions

Needs a more vibey energy , goodboygraphics?

Reach out to oss advocates to ask feedback , gotchas. Eg cory doctorow. Elevator pitch

My own system for notifying blog subs of a new article solves a similar problem

Doing the illustrations myself meant not really any illustration

Fully oss from the jump. The brand is the thing (like linktree)

A lot of ppl who I thought liked me ghosted me when I needed help or advice. I won’t waste my time on them this time

Way easier technically (probably)

Easy to make work well on mobile

Like linktree but not shit

What I have now compared to before is more of an audience for market research

Marketing site or blog spec , start with probing interest before I write a line of code

Get Partners , co-creators in the early days

Prosumer audience , new blogger audience

Donationware like signal, Wikipedia?

New arena channel?

update on my neosites , mmm,

new meetups on an events page

Or just n updates today, y people did new stuff today /the week

When I make things I can’t get them out to me. Algos don’t want me sharing links that take ppl offsite. So I’m stuck on the site and we all get mad/sad together

User confirmation email

v4 might support inputting a url/rss feed from a blog. Automated input

V3 feed that you can access or updators of the month

Browser extension

V2 customize user page

Name , url . Optional image url

Max updates per day

opt in user emails

How to prevent spam

Subscribers click a link and enter their email address

Moderationlog (public)

Email subscribers

Custom url , custom feed url

email digests , or immediate emails

Replies to the email go to the author

Immediate send is more engaging

The first step to sharing ideas online is often get a blog or a newsletter , but that’s more intimidating than it sounds. Big commitment , which one do I use ? What should my theme look like?

“Update your changelog”. “Follow my updates on earth”

A personal changelog

Get off social media, follow your friends for real

Show presence w anon paint cursors ? Webgl

We’re all on the earth together

3d globe showing recent ppl who’ve updated their changelog

Everyone has true fans but they’re spread all over the place and we lose them as algos change and people move to other sites (twitter exodus)

make new stuff everywhere
