The ability for people to ditch Substack and other similar platforms is monetization. This is one of our primary goals, so we hope to be one of the first with pledges and paid subscriptions similar to Substack soon after launch!

Stay tuned!

Thanks for the mention! We’re still in development, but we do aim to be a direct replacement for Substack.

I’d definitely encourage you to request an invite and we’ll make sure to get you in on the first wave.

It’s been amazing seeing long-form publishing really take shape across the network. Offprint’s been lucky to grow alongside so many others pushing for this future: writers owning their work, platforms connecting instead of competing.

Feels like things are finally clicking 🙌🏽

Yes sir, will need to store images and (potentially) videos ourselves for drafts at the very least. Though we’ll probably be serving optimized media from our CDN on published content as well.

Don’t want to waste others bandwidth on giant blobs loading on mobile.

Appreciate the kind words 🙇🏽‍♂️

I don't believe this package is ready for production yet, but I will keep working on it and will eventually open source it. So any other Laravel developers will have an easier time keeping their users cached data in sync.

Maybe this is what you’re looking for pdsls.dev/at://did:plc...

There is! Might not be exactly what you’re looking for but UFOs my Microcosm: ufos.microcosm.blue

This app watches the firehose and shows how popular specific lexicons are.

We’re collaborating on some stuff already 👀 We’re working on interoperability together with some other long form platforms. But one product would be interesting 🤔 who knows

Don't forget to request an invite, we're still working hard on getting this out (forgive me, solo dev with full time gig) we'll start on boarding users as soon as we can!

You're giving me some ideas 👀

Already got this planned for normal image blocks. Could probably reuse that for Grain/Pinksky/Flashes embeds!

Great recommendation, added to the list!

Great suggestion, it’s on the list!

Ooo, ok 🤔 Good idea, that would be a great addition! I’ll have to experiment with that, it’s kind of a complex component and would require some well thought out ux
