I really like the approach https://chat.center/ takes - no ads, small subscription, slick interface. Nice.
Pretty decent Hardly Strictly lineup this year. Yay! http://www.hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/2015/
The same techniques that let users block unwelcome ads could help readers pay publishers frictionlessly. Would be fun to experiment.
I wonder if you could build a content blocker app that layers a micropayments gateway over Safari and lets publishers serve premium content.
Explaining open source licenses to my sister. Reasonable question: "why isn't it like a Creative Commons Non-Commercial license?"
Finding that splitting out "replies" - which makes sense in the #indieweb context - is confusing the hell out of customers.
#Lazyweb question: is there a way to access cloud-only Dropbox folders so they show up in Finder? Trying to free up some disk space.
Installed Peace on my iPhone to block ads. The web is absurdly faster. Not sure if it works for embedded in-app browsers though?
Did you know we're up to 10 Democratic candidates? Just need about 10 more. Elon Musk's got time, right?

That Bush couldn't think of an American woman important enough to put on money speaks volumes. #gopdebate
I thought the #gopdebate couldn't get more obnoxious and then Bush proposed putting Margaret Thatcher's face on money.
I don't mean to lower the tone, but Donald Trump moves exactly like a Muppet. I can't unsee it. #gopdebate
I need to drive somewhere now and won't be able to let off steam by snarkily posting to the Internet. Pray for me. #gopdebate
Okay, we need like another 18 Democratic Presidential candidates. Who do we draft? #gopdebate
This debate has been a good reminder that I don't overlap with the Republicans on a single issue. 0% agreement. So disingenuous. #gopdebate
Funny how all these pro-life politicians come from states that kill prisoners. Not ha ha funny. Murderously hypocritical funny. #gopdebate
