[tantek] Lots on Substack here, and a bunch on Ghost as well. Dropping this in dev because there's clearly a lot of $ in paid newsletters (somehow), it might be enough to motivate building better IndieWeb solutions for subscriber-only access to posts: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/11/business/media/substack-newsletter-competition.html

Loqi ok, I added "2021-04-11 NYT: [https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/11/business/media/substack-newsletter-competition.html Why We’re Freaking Out About Substack]" to the "See Also" section of /substack https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=75255&oldid=74927

tomlarkworthy @jacky I am builing a serverless one click to fork and deploy Indielogin service, but its hosted on @observable. Its still WIP but nearly there https://observablehq.com/@endpointservices/auth If you wanted a specific feature I could probably add it. demo of logging into it can be found here: https://observablehq.com/@tomlarkworthy/weblogin Ofc, I am new to this so I am not quite sure I have the idea totally right, but I welcome any feedback
# tomlarkworthy costs about $0.10 a month to host, its incredibly cheap. Client sessions on Firebase free tier. Cost hosting on free observable. Only cost is the on-demand endpoints which are on Cloud Run
# tomlarkworthy but it does leverage a log of monopoly tech so not sure if its interesting. Tokens are issues through Google IndentityKit for instance
# tomlarkworthy the joy of Observable is you can jsut fork the implementation in one click though
# tomlarkworthy [jacky] ^^ (?)
# tomlarkworthy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

# [raph_l] I just posted a design outline of the personal social media system I'm working on (aws, event-driven, no instances): https://raphaelluckom.com/posts/system_notes_001.html .

# tomlarkworthy hey cool raph_I, I see you are thinking about makers and monetisation, I built a shop on Observable for $0 per month:- https://observablehq.com/@pauseandplay/shop for my wife's book.

# [raph_l] cool! I'm trying to make sure my whole thing (UI, social media storage / publishing, user mgmt, DNS, etc) is deployable with only an AWS account.
# [raph_l] I suspect I'll have to add a stripe account or similar for people who want payment processing, but I'm really focused on limiting deployment complexity

# tomlarkworthy yeah this is why I built serverless-cell, you can build backend without leaving the web browser: https://observablehq.com/@endpointservices/serverless-cells

[chrisaldrich] what time is it for tomlarkworthy?
# Loqi Sorry, I don't see tomlarkworthy on https://indieweb.org/irc-people
# [chrisaldrich] !tell tomlarkworthy you can leave messages for folks outside of your timezone using /Loqi and the tell command like this.
# tomlarkworthy ofc, that magnificent Loqi bot. @jacky ok yeah, makes sense. runtime is docker hsoted by at the moment source code has to go on observable

# [tantek] this feels like it would have a lot of potential IndieWeb applications, e.g. extracting text from the reply-context of a photo meme etc.: https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/12/22380086/google-photos-desktop-ocr-images-copy-text-lens

# 
[KevinMarks] That's been there for a while I think. I remember photographing a book page and Google both giving me the text and identifying the book from it
