the big question to answer is what makes sense to centralize vs. decentralize.

people "don't want" to visit websites these days; they want a single convenient platform. cool, so that's what this service offers.

but the underlying sources of content and information -- the tools and platforms you use to *create* content can be anything you want.

thinking about how this works with the open web, I imagine your Remark.as profile could plug into other blogging and photo-sharing backends, like @pixelfed or any photo-sharing silos that offer enough open data access

in the fediverse, I'm not sure if this means creating a simple frontend, or if Remark.as implements the #ActivityPub client-to-server protocol, and acts as the client 🤔

profiles are still early; I'd like them to showcase both your @write_as posts and @snap_as photos in one place. then of course everyone can comment on photos, too

It is time. https://blog.remark.as/protohistory

Maybe you'll be able to comment on @write_as and @snap_as posts here. Would that be cool?

We've just taken our first steps! Now you can privately reply to @write_as blog posts via email 💌

Comments and conversations are coming to @write_as soon! Today, we just rolled out our new landing page: https://remark.as

An update on our current status: https://discuss.write.as/t/remark-as-privacy-first-portable-comments/25/62

Getting a bit closer to making some moves here. We plan to start by allowing email responses to your @write_as newsletters.

Low-tech at first, your responses would go straight to the author via email. But then we can potentially allow you to receive those responses through the https://Remark.as web app.

Update: we plan to officially start development on https://Remark.as early next year!
