@dougmckown 1. We'll repoint the CNAME and help you move (manually first, automatically later). 2. Own domain support coming this week.
@bmann @xolotl Okay, here's a longer reply.
We'll definitely support your own domain & full import / export. These are non-negotiable, crucial features.
Our customer research - and we've done a lot, using tools that Matter.vc has given us - has told us two things. The first is that content <em>control</em> is a very important issue for a lot of people. The second big finding was that there's a heavy reliance on LAMP, even from people who aren't using shared hosting. We actually went back and rewrote a lot of the platform as a result.
Even today, on TWiG, Leo Laporte told us that he'd been waiting for us to support MySQL before running it on his own server.
We definitely need to support people who are building newer kinds of platforms. Docker is awesome, and even services like the AWS marketplace should be supported. But as a small, early stage team, it strategically makes sense to start in the place that will give us the widest exposure. And a lot of people are thanking us for it.
It's also worth saying that while we think Known is a great product today (and I certainly use it for my own site), we're not fully-formed: there's a significant roadmap ahead. Tomorrow we're publicly launching our beta at <a href="http://matter.vc">Matter Demo Day</a>, where we've been a member of the third class. Our plan is to grow, and as we do, you'll see a lot more of the things you were talking about starting to appear.
@leolaporte I'm in (once I'm back)! We're demoing as part of @mattervc, KQED, PRX, Knight Foundation.
Thank you so much @leolaporte @jeffjarvis @kevinmarks. We had a lot of fun!
@BradHalcrow There will always be free hosted / self-hosted versions. You're using it. Paid will have extra features. You're safe!
@BrandonDMilla @erinjo @withknown Absolutely. Very soon!
@dougmckown Check out Reclaim Hosting - although we can set you up on your own domain too.
Getting ready to join @leolaporte on this edition of This Week in Google. Excited! http://twit.tv/twig
@Freerange_Inc No, it's FANTASTIC! I'm sorry for this inconvenience, but this is why we have a beta. We will fix this morning. Thank you!
@dajbelshaw Yes! Absolutely. But we'll need you to log out first. Let us know and we'll change.
@Freerange_Inc Uh oh. Looks like we have a long title problem. Sorry about that. We'll push a fix today. @withknown
Net neutrality is an important issue for everyone on the Internet. I'll write more on this today, but here's a list of resources: http://louder.org/topics/SaveTheNet
Just made webmention, indieauth and micropub available to thousands of people. So much more to come. #indieweb
Howdy Sarah! Thank you thank you thank you for checking it out. I just sent you an email - we owe you a thing or two ...
@walkah Click on "configure site" and then "site features" - you'll see a bunch of extras you can enable, including Firefox.
@dkernohan It's genius. The "no" campaign hasn't been able to touch it, and tone-deaf ads haven't helped. Nobody thought they could win ...
If you're checking out @withknown, take a look at the @Mozilla Firefox integration. The social API makes it easy to reply to any page.
@dkernohan Cool! I lived in Edinburgh for almost a decade; still have so many friends up there. Hearing a lot from both sides of the debate.
Although I'm wrapped up in @withknown right now - demo day tomorrow!! - I'm riveted by Scotland. Amazing democratic upswell. Very exciting.
There's a John Kerry 2004 pin floating around in my laptop bag and I don't know where it came from or why it's there.
