#2I don't have a blog (medium or anything) so unfortunately I don't have a use for this, but I LOVED the gif. It wasn't an attempt to show "how easy it is to do with one command" but rather a real flow of how it all goes, I appreciate it, well done!

I've tried doing this screen-capture-to-gif thing before but it was always frustrating. I'd love to hear about the workflow to make a gif like this.

ShareX makes it very easy.

I've used the default MacOS screen recording (cmd + shift + 5) and then edited/speed up some parts with iMovie.
Then I transform the video into a gif using https://github.com/mathieudutour/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/mo...
Hope that helps!

#7I honestly don't get posts like these. IMHO the main selling point of Medium is not that you can easily set up a blog, there's plenty of platforms that let you do that easily, or great tools like OP's for setting up your own. The point is that there is already a large audience you can reach with your posts, and Medium actively works to distribute your posts to people who would be interested in them.
The equivalent here would be a "switch from YouTube to your own video hosting site in a few minutes." I mean sure, you could, and it probably wouldn't be that hard, but that's not the point.

#9Honestly I really appreciate tools like this exist but I'll probably keep using Medium out of laziness. I don't want to have to worry about maintaining my own blog and I'm cheap so I don't really want to pay for hosted Ghost/Wordpress since I'm not trying to make money off of my infrequent dumb blog posts. The cheapest Ghost plan is $29/mo :(

Why does it have to be a trade-off? Something like WriteFreely gives you both your own blog and (via the Fediverse) an audience.
Don't want to run your own? Then pay for a Write.as account to have Matt run it for you.
