While I do agree with an overall sentiment, you can't seriously think this is a viable solution for most developers, surely.

> Crypto is also on the verge of the next wave of adoption

Since roughly 2018 I reckon, at least.

We might as well future proof this by writing specs in YAML-ified Ruby, this way it's more flexible, I've been told it's best practice!

> An entire website encoded in a URL

It is very much not, open the network tab on any of the examples, behold.

Sure, but what's the point then? Seems like .html with extra steps, not to mention that the URL itself won't work.

Now for online, the data is in the URL already, publicly available (unless shared privately), and the "loader" is still served from the server, so you have to trust the server not to exfiltrate the data.

> hosted nowhere

> present everywhere

> Still here when the internet isn't

I'm afraid the OP may not have full understanding of how internet works. This is either some kind of a post irony, or some vibe code fever dream.

Either way, I'm deeply confused.

I'll kindly remind people that actual [physical] paper does, in fact, still exist. You may have various feelings about how sustainable and eco friendly it is - sure, but for simple daily notes it is a good alternative, in my opinion.

For more enjoyment, you may even want to invest in a good fountain pen or two, and some fun inks to write with.

In my humble and subjective opinion, it is more tactile, enjoyable, better in terms of focus and forces you to write less / summarise, as my handwriting speed is like 1/10 of my typing speed.

My personal favourite pairing is Pilot Capless + Sailor Jentle Epinard + Clairefontaine Pupitre.

Your experience may vary.

I feel like a new generation of Android powered e-ink tablets / phones is the answer here: https://shop.boox.com/collections/eink-tablet.

Or maybe even that TCL tablet that looks kinda like e-ink, but is actually OLED: https://www.tcl.com/uk/en/tablets/tcl-nxtpaper-10s.

Constantly pushing stuff to Kindle, which is inherently extremely limited device (gotta love walled gardens!) feels like a bit too much friction to me.

Please don’t use Chromium based browsers. Support real alternatives like Firefox.

> As a developer you sell subscriptions independently; you set the price, handle the money and do all of the interactions with the customer. Then you register the subscription in the system by using a simple API.

What prevents me, as a rogue actor, from just adding all my mates to the database without them paying me anything? Would they get access to all other software from the developers who take part in this affair?

Why? Of course so they can have their "registered users" count as high as possible to get another round of VC funding, so that they can drag this thing all the way to the IPO and get a nice and fat exit :)

I wish more people started using Beartype, it makes Python bearable
