    I've wanted this for literal years. The only thing that this doesn't do that was on my wishlist was to annotate each edge with the paragraph of text that contains the link, so I ca…

    If you recall that "venture capital" was literally about financing ships in the 16-1700s.. it would make sense that NL & UK, both massive naval powers, would have some experience a…

    I believe this depends on the location of hosting. One version is that things are hosted by URI on wizards.com. Another is the data being stored on something content-addressable li…

    Almost certainly not. Apple wants people to use apps, so "pushing people to use apps" wouldn't be cause for backlash. Instead, I suspect they saw the money that patreon made and wa…

    https://stanza.systems is a managed thing that offers this functionality (and a bit more) if y'all are looking for an escape valve away from redis as the coordination mechanism.
