The Wikimedia Foundation joins Mastodon and the Fediverse
On a semi related note, WordPress recently acquired an activitypub plugin that does exactly what it sounds like. [0]
So as a corporation you don't really need a mastodon instance to broadcast your stuff. I think most organisations will go this route. (and i suspect threads hopes to piggyback of this for content).

A Look at Bluesky
There is an ActivityPub Plugin for Wordpress; I believe the author has recently been hired by Auttomatic.

The Indieweb Crew of course did this first. The principle POSSE – Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere – was coined by them and is the guiding principle behind the Indieweb movement and it is exactly what you’re trying to do. You should click around a little bit in their wiki:
https://indieweb.org/POSSE
Most of the time the Indieweblings are doing their own “protocol“ by receiving and reacting to webmentions with rich data structures in Microformats syntax in their HTML. Some parts of Indieweb a rather opinionated about technologies. But a lot of them also interact with different federation services, for example see:

Twenty Years of Blogging
Its a bittersweet feeling. Blogging was an information dissemination revolution that was made possible by the web. Giving individuals unprecedented ability to self-publish on any niche subject and reaching remote audiences anywhere in the world (the famous long-tail).
The revolution was suppressed. While easy enough to setup by writers (especially if not self-hosted) and accessed by readers, the combination of bookmarks, rss, blog comments and web based search and discovery was ultimately overtaken by the "super-easy" setups offered by the social media walled gardens (social graphs, follows, viral "likes", algorithmic timelines and a race to the short-form bottom).
But not all is lost. The extreme commercialization, privacy concerns and algorithmic oppression of social media has all but ruined it as a platform. People have been thinking and working on somehow reinstating the original promise of the web as a decentralized platform for self-publishing. While not quite yet mainstream, projects such as the Wordpress activitypub plugin [1] suggest we could dream of a new blogosphere blooming.
Here's to the next 20 years!

- I have been using "personaljournal" which is based on "writefreely" but PJ does not seem to allow comments on blog posts... is there a fediverse blog system allowing comments?

Devin, the First AI Software Engineer
I think it is a tooling issue. It is in no way obvious how use LLM's effectively, especially for really good writing results. Tweaking and tinkering can be time consuming indeed, but i use lately the chatgpt-shell [1] and it lends well to an iterative approach. One needs to cycle through some styles first, and then decide how to most effectively prompt for better results.

Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?
- https://xenodium.com/an-ios-journaling-app-powered-by-org-pl... - Lately, I'm having a go at building a privacy-focused plain-text-based iOS journaling app. I starte building it for someone important in my life but now using it myself.
- https://flathabits.com - After reading Atomic Habits, I wanted a habit tracker but most had more friction than I wanted, required accounts, had distractions, lock-in etc. so I built a privacy-focused app, with little friction and no-lockin (saves to plain text).
- https://plainorg.com - There are a gazillion markdown apps on the App Store, but hardly any supporting org markup, so I built one.
- https://xenodium.com/scratch-a-minimal-scratch-area - I wanted a surface where I could just dump text with as few taps as possible.
- https://github.com/xenodium/macosrec - I wanted to take either screenshots or videos of macOS apps from the command line, so I could integrate anywhere.
- https://github.com/xenodium/chatgpt-shell - I'm far down the Emacs rabbit hole, so I prefer Emacs-integrated tools. Built a ChatGPT Emacs shell to see what the hype was all about ;) tl;dr it really does help.
- https://github.com/xenodium/dwim-shell-command - A way to manage and easily apply the gazillion one-liners (and more complex scripts) I've come across. I got close to 100 utils check-in now https://github.com/xenodium/dwim-shell-command#my-toolbox
- https://github.com/xenodium/ob-swiftui - Play around with SwiftUI layouts from the comfort of my preferd editor.

What I Have Changed My Mind About in Software Development
With lsp, the gap between IDEs vs text editors is narrowing. While I still prefer Emacs, I’m pragmatic enough to jump on to whatever tool does a better job for a specific task. At times, that is Xcode.
Was also sceptical about ChatGPT and changed my mind like OP. I was less pragmatic on this one and brought ChatGPT over to Emacs https://github.com/xenodium/chatgpt-shell. Pretty happy with the result so far.

Edit-mode for point-by-point text proofreading, like EditGPT?
There are a handful of chatgpt Emacs packages. I happen to have authored chatgpt-shell. For making a synchronous request, can use chatgpt-shell-post-prompt. For async, use chatgpt-shell-send-to-buffer with a handler.

Ask HN: Could you show your personal blog here?
https://xenodium.com will hit 10 years in November. It started as a single org file for personal notes (programming, cooking, Emacs, bookmarks, iOS dev, travel). One day, I decided to export it to HTML and make it accessible to me from anywhere. Sorta just became both notes and blog over time…
While the tone of the posts may have evolved a bit, the blog still serves as personal notes/reference of sorts. The tech behind it hasn’t changed a whole lot. It remains a single org file (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xenodium/xenodium.github.i...) with my own ugly elisp hacks, but hey does the job ;-)

Use emacs as a ChatGPT app
u/xenodium's chatgpt-shell deserves a mention. It uses an intuitive Comint-shell based interaction and includes support for executable code blocks (in the comint-shell) and for org-babel. It's very polished -- I believe it also includes support for saving and restoring sessions, which gptel is yet to add.
-
Do you also write small guides for yourself to remind you of your own emacs workflows?
Yep. Turn some of them into posts https://xenodium.com

Is orgmode really that much better than an equivalent workflow using vim + other tools?
For certain concepts that I don't understand fully, I'm using chatgpt-shell. It is beyond fantastic and almost impossible to describe in a single post. This is, for example, just one of my use cases: When I'm writing a comment or a message to my colleague (and of course, yes, I edit just about any text in Emacs), I can select a paragraph and ask chatgpt-shell to improve it. It does, but it also shows me the diff of the changes, that is how I set it up.
