So I sucked it up and moved to a 10x costlier solution in 2014. Instead of a $10/mo shared server, I ended up on a $100/mo managed WPengine account. Usually, I end up with $50-150/mo in overage charges since our traffic is above the band we’re in but not yet at next level

The technical+cost barrier to entry is just too high and the platform options just too cheap/convenient. Those who got into Wordpress early enough or can do a higher-cost start now, will enter an end-game phase.

I’m starting a series exploring where we go from here, as writers with pioneer/settler inclinations who don’t like large platform communities.https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2019/01/31/elderblog-sutra-1/ …

so what you seem to be proposing is a non-text blogger’s indie haven, but that works on the device they have. That’s nigh impossible now. Specially since all those non-text mediums have been tried and failed too.

I’m not proposing anything yet. Still in analysis mode.

The problem now is the explosion of hardware. At your time, what did WordPress need to do to ensure max compatibility? Work with three browsers. Now if you want a new type of blogger (non-writing), you need to support mobile devices with apps. Ugh.

You can see in attempts people made, including
@8bit’s Pressgram. I know it was just a layer on top of WordPress, but it was a good idea. What bogs these things down? Being apps. - 1 more reply
