Open source software on Kickstarter is my jam.

Ghost.org was born on Kickstarter, and now thrilled to be able to sponsor the amazing ActivityPub-driven @pixelfed on our collective quest to bring back the open web.

I tried that "Roast me and don't hold back" ChatGPT prompt 2 weeks ago and it was so harrowing that I'm still thinking about it to this day

Late to the party on this server but Mastodon 4.3 feels like a huge upgrade. Great work @Gargron and team 🙌

Figured out how to make a search shortcut for the new ChatGPT Search feature in Arc / Chrome 👇

So you keep whatever default search engine you prefer, but have ChatGPT search only a [tab] away:

I've had a lot of questions over the last few weeks about how Ghost is going to avoid ending up in the same situation as WordPress.

A lot of trust in open source has been broken.

So, I spent some time writing up how we structure and think about business, governance, open source, community, and ecosystems more broadly.

I certainly don't think we've got it all figured out — but I think our model is especially relevant at this particular moment in time.

Just managed to rewrite 80% of one of our internal apps in the space of 3 hours using Laravel.

So satisfying.

All that’s left to do now is the remaining 80%

Had a lot of fun chatting with Tim for the @ahrefs podcast recently! Including (very unsuccessfully) trying to pitch him on the Fediverse 😅

We chat about the origins of Ghost, why I left the WordPress core team, and where things are going next.

Excited to be back in Singapore next week for Ahrefs Evolve conference!

Thinking about putting together a post on how we think about community, governance, open source, product, & business at Ghost

We’ve been doing things differently for the past ~12 years, and for a long time most didn’t understand why.

Feels like now might be the time to talk about this in some more detail?

Has been a lot of debate about the problems, for the past few weeks, but seen very few ideas for solutions.

I don’t have all the answers, but I think we’ve figured out at least a couple.

We’re WIP on some improvements to Ghost's commenting feature.

Any feedback or requests? 🤔

Been missing sorting for a while. What else?

We have full 2-way interaction now happening between @index and Mastodon / Threads / pretty much anything else that has ActivityPub. This is so cool.

Has now been about 6 months since I switched to Kagi.com as my default search engine - and I haven't missed Google once.

It's amazing how good search can be if you're willing to use a paid service that's totally ad-free! (They have generous free trial, very worth test driving)

I guess nobody at Apple uses a password on their Mac that’s more than 25characters, cause the Seqoia installer password input totally bugs out if you do 🙃

How does one tune the algorithm in Apple Music? In Spotify I use the ⊖ and ⊕ buttons to train it on my taste, but not sure if there's any equivalent?
