Gregory's Server@coachtony @IceCubesApp But I think the key thing to make them work in a FOSS environment is that they would need to be portable, i.e., not tied to Medium or something similar.

 @coachtony @IceCubesApp Here’s the place I’m at in my career as a writer. I could benefit greatly from the side benefits of a service like Substack or Beehiiv, but I want to use my own tools. Nobody is making a service that offers “editorial support as a service” right now—you either have to platform or you have to do it all yourself. I think there’s a market for that—editorial support, untethered from how the content is actually produced. |
@coachtony @IceCubesApp To add to this, I think the advantage that a company like Medium could offer in a proposed situation like this is value-add. Even if the tech is open-sourced, Medium could be a great partner in helping with things like merchandising, editorial support, and developing reach & paid audiences for writers.
I think that it’d be kinda like the WordPress model—offer the tools for free, add value through support mechanisms.
