20/ I think I've finally figured out how to scale longform (not reporting, that's easier) to multiauthor with consistent sensibility

21/ Point being, though I've designed products, I don't think any of what I did/learned in last 4-5 y could have been solved with "tech"

22/ But neither could they have been solved with old media magazine editorial models (too expensive, too top-down)

23/ Problem still not "solved" but I think I'm finally on the track of the right one. Stay tuned for more, and watch ribbonfarm in 2017

I've been surprised at no mention of paid publication memberships. Seamless billing + u get their email addresses. I guess it's in beta

but that's also not great for them. W/ emails and my own domain I have nothing keeping me there

I don't think that's a scalable direction for them

yeah I'm already plotting my move to memberful. It's too light on mgmt features

I was surprised you even considered it. I never thought of anything other than memberful and equivalents.

I was already doing all my writing there, engagement was great, and getting emails sealed the deal. Great experience so far!
