The daily requirement makes it extra hard if your days are very bursty with work meetings and such, though I suppose you could prepare a few posts in the pipeline and just do the actual "publish" action the morning of

aaronpk how did you pull it off for 100days? Did you have a queue of things that you "wrapped up" and published each day? Or did you literally think of something each day of?
#
[tantek]
I need a drafts tool that lets me cluster drafts by some coarse "readiness" status: idea/concept, sentence, paragraph, has summary, has conclusion, has footnotes & glossary, grammar & spelling reviewed & fixed, edited down for focus & length, published!

every project started and ended each day

whoa a Russian 100DaysOfIndieWeb project! https://toby3d.me/ru/2023/12/23/170703/
#
[tantek]
This year I'm going for a 100 Posts variant rather than strictly 100 Days.
#
[tantek]
my first post (for 2024) got long again, despite attempting to prune some clear branching topics 😂

tantek++ for the more generous framing in "I’m going for 100 again, however, this time for 100 posts rather than 100 days, having learned that some days I find the time for multiple posts, and other days none at all." at https://tantek.com/2024/001/t1/restarting-100days-indieweb-gift-calendar

[preview] [Tantek Çelik] Time to begin again: restarting my #100Days of #IndieWeb project for 2024, as a #100Posts of IndieWeb project, and congrats to the IndieWeb community on a fully completed 2023 IndieWeb Gift Calendar! Last year I completed 48 out of a planned 100 pos...

Thanks [chrisaldrich]!

What is up with the format of 10+ lines of the same "x is y" message on text note sharing platforms?
#
[tantek]
Can I get a reader feature that auto-collapses that kind of copy pasta into one line and appends [*10] to the one short line of actual content?
#
[tantek]
Also since such text posts are primarily design to influence emotion to "sell" the statement as "truth" by repetition rather than actually convey a valid point (if it was valid, you wouldn't need to repeat 10x times in crass attempt at manipulation), I'd also be up for an auto-mute feature of folks that post such things.

This is a good take on 100 days type initiatives https://simonwillison.net/2024/Jan/2/escalating-streaks/

How should I license an e-book?

It looks like Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International is the right option.

that's reasonable

[tantek]
are you trying to sell it?
#
c​apjamesg
No.
#
c​apjamesg
But I would like that option.
#
c​apjamesg
If I do, it will probably be at cost price.
#
[tantek]
LMK how it goes! I'm tempted to write some simple for-sale ebooks that have nothing to do with my day to day things

[tantek]
like "A Winner's Guide to Swarm" 😂

I linked it in chat earlier.

[KevinMarks] streaks are similar (adjacent) to N-days projects, but absolutely not the same. streaks are emergent, whereas N-days projects are a priorit

capjamesg oh my goodness 100+ pages!

c​apjamesg
Yeah. ~30k words.
#
c​apjamesg
I have an exercise to add at the end too.
#
[tantek]
that's likely worth a lot more than "cost price" IMO
