Thoughts on POSSE and Textcasting andysylvester.com
@AndySylvester The number of people who insist, or strongly desire, to use their own editing tool is small. Dave beats the drum for something that he wants and thinks would make the world better, but not many people agree.
@frankm I think your analysis is spot-on, I was trying to figure how to say that without being too negative, your reply is great. On a more snarky note, I thought about suggesting that an API be added to the OldSchool blogging tool...what's good for the goose is good for the gander, right?
@AndySylvester That said, I do use Drummer to write my microblog posts so I appreciate Dave's perspective, but recognize I am in the minority. You also know that I also write/maintain single page sites using Drummer and serve via PagePark.
@AndySylvester Should add. that what I post to microblog cross posts to Mastodon, so I am definitely a user of POSSE.
@frankm I think that the ability to do POSSE is great, but to make the Textcasting dream happen, it takes people working together. Having said that, I saw Tim Carmody's reply (https://kottke.org/23/11/the-future-of-rss-is-textcasting-1) to Dave Winer's recent podcast, it will be interesting to see if Dave Winer can find someone to work with....
