TIL: In Spanish, "pagar" means "to pay". It originates from the Latin verb "pacare", which means "to pacify, appease" & by extension "to make an agreement or contract." This derives from the noun "pax", meaning "peace". Over time, the meaning evolved to "pay", as in "pay a debt"

Print Magazines existed at the intersection of art and storytelling.

Digital Magazines are just pdf copies of Print.

Digital Magazines have never been good enough for screens.

Spoke with @zoink.bsky.social this morning about growth. His advice: by the time you do analysis on what behaviors lead to retention, it’s too late. You probably have a hypothesis (ie. following people, having a stream of content) that is true - just go execute on that. (Can do analysis in tandem)

One of the best concept designs I’ve come across, but extremely hard to pull off.

Maybe it’s me, but most Nostr Client UX is too hard to navigate for public adoption.

The What’s Hot feed is a placeholder example of a custom algorithm. It will change often until third-party feeds ship.

Long-term, you’ll be able to put any algorithm you want in the space where the What’s Hot feed is. Try out a new client like skyline.gay to see an evolving example of this!

The APIs over public data that Bluesky gives you is pretty incredible, actually.

I can't wait to see what people build.
