Some things this enables: - A more vibrant community and interaction model (a speed up of the community feed) - A shift from

And finally the Big One (tm) that this enables is the ability to do "just in time" insights (perfect for feed based worlds) where

Does something like what Substack enables with a newsletter + threaded conversations with the same readership point in the right direction?

not really - substack doesn't change the received experience of author -> community. It simply enables in different ways.

Agreed. Substack is a point solution for harvesting the end-of-life blog market into the email ecosystem, which seems more robust/long-lived. It is less a successor to blogging than a sort of upmarket retreat for blogging being disrupted by threaded open media

Really, that's what you're talking about Tom. My elderblogging personal phase just happens to synchronize with the elder stage of the medium itself. Of the 2 dynamics (me getting old, blogging getting disrupted by threading), the latter is the more important one obviously.

I think what I'd *like* to do is port ribbonfarm to a site where pre-blogchain stuff is rendered as a bunch of legacy static pages forming a sort of background, blogchains are rendered as native threads weaving through it, and there's support for a new roam-like thing

Yep! This would be fun.

What we're running into here is a need for a multi-architecture publishing: books, blogs, wikis, threads, and my latest obsession, short glossary-like log-level entries. Kinda like Intel's OneAPI is trying to make a single interface for many architectures.https://software.intel.com/en-us/oneapi

Yeah - aligns with the "headless CMS" idea except that world is deficient in imagination. It's not headless CMS so that you can reskin the front end it's headless cms so you can merge blogs, books, wikis, threads, roam etc

unfortunately, all this is technically way beyond me to set up on an experimental basis so I'd need someone to invent a scheme basically. Until then, I'm sitting around in wordpress.
