I spent some time tonight looking at Substack as a platform. It’s impressive just how many people I follow on Twitter use it as yet-another-platform to be on. I wonder how much duplication of content they’re generating? How I wish that everyone could simply have one canonical place to follow them.
One thing I find myself wanting is a discovery-based follow button for Microsub that would allow me to input either my own following list or even my Twitter account which would then parse through my Twitter follows to allow me to quickly follow the personal websites that appear in people’s Twitter website and bio fields.
I think that part of it is the fact that every interface supports different features, so we have to choose based on the features we want. We need to make every CmS have indieweb feature perity.
Including all the ones that don’t have it yet; #OrchardCMS, #DNNCMS, and so on. I intend to contribute on the #dotnet front, at some point.
