Nothing was cooler than having a Feedburner bar on your website with a number showing how many subscribers you had.

I have used Vivaldi, but only on a linux laptop that I don't use all the time.

How many people are already using ad blockers and such? This move to sending updates via email and push notifications clogs my inbox so frequently I end up unsubscribing.

I can't read the article because of a paywall. If only there was some sort of token gated system to let me connect to the site and view it without an account that hands them my personal/cc data.

You could start a (tiny) newspaper for the cost of this.

Yep I just rebooted it, too many hits at once, if it goes down again I'll upgrade the server lol

I've been using write.as for several months now and it's worked great as a blog-only platform. They have a self hosted option called writefreely as well.

I think some folks feel a blog needs a ton of branding and fancy javascript widgets everywhere to be a "blog" when all you need is a block of easily read text.

Good ol winamp

Very nice, my scroll wheel makes it go really slow but that is probably an issue on my end.

Good for you. I quit using tinyletter after two years, switched to substack and quit that last week. https://jetgirl.art/2020/06/27/going-back-to-blogging/

It's more than helpful to the other participants. :D

Same goes for why you should still buy print copies of books: https://jetgirl.art/2019/04/05/misprints-news-53-charging-by...
