OutPost 1.4 for the Mac is out, and it adds a URL scheme so other apps can start a post. A link like outpost://new?title=…&text=… opens a new post with the title and text already filled in. That's handy for sending a highlight from a read-later app such as GoodLinks, or for a shortcut.
It never posts anything on its own, and whatever you were writing is kept as a draft. It's coming to iOS testers soon too.
Do you have #perfectionist tendencies and try to #blog but you have like 100 unfinished drafts?
Same!
This week I have been finding it a helpful exercise to look at my massive pile of drafts, and try to find opportunities to merge half finished (or 1/4 finished, or 1/8th finished) ideas together into a single post.
I've culled from ~30 unfinished ideas down to 6.
They may end up being absolutely whackadoo articles, but they'll be finished.
Perfect is the enemy of done, etc.

E.g. If I wanted to direct you to search results for the word "faschadenfreude“, I would share this link:
https://www.google.com/search?q=faschadenfreude&nfpr=1
Without the "nfpr" parameter, the query would have redirected to showing you results for merely "schadenfreude“.
Due to some amount of recency bias in search (and LLM) indices, news and other events can impact what words and phrases are these services redirect you to. Since new words and phrases can and will get more attention, there’s no way to predict if or when any search you link to will be redirected to something else in the future.
The only way to be sure a Google search results link in a blog post shows what you intend is to add the "&nfpr=1" URL query parameter to the link in your post.

Postcard from the terminal: Neat Finds #05: Homepages, Pocket Synths and a Server in a QR Code
Issue five. Most of this batch is about places where people put their own words: directories of personal sites, a homepage host, a couple of blogging platforms, a forum, a guestbook, and servers for protocols most people have never heard of. Toward the end it gets…

If you cite a Google Search URL for an “interesting” or especially a new term, use the "npfr=1" query parameter to force Google to return results for your literal search, instead of auto-correcting it, either to a related older term, or potentially something new and popular in the future.

"On the drive home, we talked about how everyone we know is fighting their own battles. Every life, no matter how perfect it may seem, shows cracks under close scrutiny. But that’s okay. With other people beside you, it’s worthwhile."
Your site might be politely asking Google to ignore it.
Starters and preview builds often ship with noindex or a blocking robots.txt. Check both on production before you wonder why nobody finds you.

Feature request for #atproto apps:
Add and show metadata about which tool was used to eg. post a Bluesky post.
Twitter used to do this and it helped discoverability of third party apps.
The #IndieWeb documents their approach here: indieweb.org/h-x-app

Here's the Archive page in Persistwise. Each post from your feed gets one line, newest first, with a status for each copy:
Wayback: saving, trying again, or saved
IPFS: saving, trying again, or pinned
Saved copy: ready
"Trying again" means it's retrying by itself, so there's nothing to babysit. A post only counts as archived when both the Wayback snapshot and the IPFS pin are done, and each finished copy is a link you can open.
This is the nudge if you are looking for a sign to start a blog.
In this edition of Miscellanea, I wrote about choosing a domain & hosting for your future blog, and how the indieweb practices can help with discovery.
Plus, in the recommendations section: music by Areni Agbabian, a list of history books, a search engine for public domain images and an essay from Noemamag.

@fasnix The examples at the end are telling, some people do still run Gopher (or, in my case, I adopted it this year), the bigger thing is seemingly Gemini, but Gemini and Gopher together are now both, alongside Finger and other protocols, associated with the whole #smolweb movement. And then there's #indieweb. Although I've been using the Internet since 2004, only now I've installed a RSS reader to point to the sites on bearblog.dev, bubbles.town etc., various blogs posted on Hacker News and Lobsters... Admittedly, I only just became a tech nerd. :) But I've seen on Bearblog and Bubbles plenty of warm-blooded personal pages, like on NeoCities. Will absolutely all of these remain niche? I don't know. Gemini is the one semi-"dark" web that is definitely the friendliest towards "normies".
