I am considering setting up a #socialWeb platform for #writers!
Distinguishing features:
➊ markdown, asciidoc, and possibly a third high-demand input format
➋ fonts!
➌ curation, compilation, and shareable shelves
➍ indices, catalogues, and libraries (advanced structured search)
I want to level up the social web. I want an interface that a library could put on a console for anonymous public use. I want offline and e-ink functionality.
Do you?
#authors #books #journalism #libraries
I think you should be interested if you want to publish #essays, #poetry, #articles, #newsletters, news, and essentially anything that could fit the old #blog paradigm.
One significant difference is that the character limit will be discarded for a pixel limit. A post will be a page. A thread may be downloaded as an #epub.
Code snippets will be a first-class entity for tech lit.
Scientific references will be a first-class entity for science lit.
If you're a writer, you will have what you need.
