    I empathize with the author and found the post to be a interesting and concrete example of what it's _actually like_ to try to publish a blog to Mastodon, which is something that I have thought about and read about in abstract. So, thank you sir for writing this up.

    One thing to consider would be to try to use Caddy [0], or a tool like localias [1], as a local https proxy. You might be able to run both the mastodon server and your blog software on the same computer and refer to local-only urls like "https://blog.test" and "https://mastodon.test" and have everything work.

    I'd be curious to know why the author didn't try this, they seem to be quite knowledgeable of other web technologies so I have to assume there's a problem that I'm not seeing here.

    Sure, but there are also excellent FOSS solutions for this, such as https://github.com/peterldowns/localias which has the benefit of being cross-platform.

    Pretty good overview from Baldur — I don't always agree with everything he writes but this seems relatively correct.

    One question I'd ask him (and anyone else reading) is: what are some other options for monetization?

    Over the last few weeks I had three different VCs reach out to me about some of the open source projects I've been releasing, and ask me if I'd thought about making a business out of them. I told them that no, based on the problem the software was solving, I didn't see how I could adopt open-core or companion-saas business models, and I wasn't sure how else it could be done while keeping the code open source.

    Can anyone suggest a viable business model that would allow:

    * Code remains at least source available, ideally open source for non-commercial use.

    * I can charge for commercial use.

    * Actually doing the licensing is reasonable, ie no spyware or phoning home from the tool.

    Wouldn't need to be perfect, I understand that if the code is open source a company could easily fork and use it without paying me. The idea would be to make it zero-headache to pay me for a license if the code is being used by a funded team.

    The projects:
